i think it doesn't really matter, if someone is willing to die or get arrested - there isn't a guarantee for "high profile" targets - unless they stay in their office and carry protection gear.
Turn out shooter even manage to got even closer for that second shot. I bet his bodyguards didn't even had guns.
They have revolver, but yeah the briefcase shield didnt open , so the shooter managed delivering 2nd strike to Abe
They might be still didn't knew what was going on at the first shot. Not gonna blame them, this kind of thing was also happened to Park Chung Hee in 1974. First shot happened, all still sat down in the chair like nothing happened until people started screaming and you know.
Well we can learn that security should screen really thoroughly and not "meremehkan"/ underestimate any possible threat. Abe's assassin literally got behind him, and shoot him point-blank, while Abe's security did nothing to prevent it, probably didn't even suspect that the guy is trying to assassinate him at all.
Sometimes iam holding my breath when i saw Pakdhe Blusukan from the TV. I imagine the worst possible that could be happened, the bodyguards need to be prepared becoming meatshield for VIP. Remember Macron when his hand grabbed by some protestor and got some cheekslap, he was lucky the protestor didnt have any intenttion to kill him.
Honestly Macron had it worst lmao. I think he's a good person, just not very lucky and very bully-able. I mean he was repeatedly assaulted by random citizens, insulted, and often got into embarrassing situations. Yes, he sometimes said stupid things, but quality-wise he isn't that bad. At least he's lucky that he only got thrown with a tomato and not grenade.
Reminds me of the former German chancellor Kohl - can't remember the actual issue (I think it was some paint bag) - but he charged right into the crowed trying to get hold of the person - upon which his security detail was in total chaos.
Mainland Chinese and their tankies sympathizers celebrate Abe's death. Abe was the strongest proponent of Japan's rearmament and militarization, and that irritates China a lot as they have always been politically anti-Japan. Now that Abe was assassinated, they are glad that their political enemy is gone.
In general the Chinese population is in awe that this could happen at all - (meaning shot/killed by a Japanese citizen)

I think for now we can assume that to be the case. But it is still largely unclear what exact program or what exact budget is used for the "Mirage acquisition" if it's real at all.
WTF, when you not aware non permitted person 3-4 meter behinds the VVIP that you must protects, when shit happens 100 % your responsibility. even there are no shoots, you must manage non permitted person stay away.
