    They must be getting spooked by all the public admiration and sympathy for the assassin, which doesn't seem to be fading away at all.

      A few months ago the prison where he's being held had to ask the public to stop sending him snacks since he can't eat so much and he doesn't have anywhere to store them in his cell.

      Doesn't hurt that the LDP also fumbled really hard handling Abe's funeral and alienated a lot of fence sitters.

        Do their prisons not have any sort of barter system? Can he not simply share his snacks and become the most popular prisoner? (If he wasn't already)

      I used to be a skeptic on the whole "maker movement" thing, but now I firmly believe that more people ought to enjoy DIY projects.

    I would also like to thank Shinzo Abe, without who nothing would have been possible

    Love you big man (now that you are dead)

    Judging by the success of this, more people in Japan should do assassinations.
