Please add [2014].

It's an interesting read, but temporal context is important. The world has been through a lot. Even if we talk only about Japan, there has been

- COVID

- Tokyo 2020 Olympics

- 3 prime ministers leaving their posts

- Shinzo Abe getting shot

> Shinzo Abe getting shot

Assassinated, you mean.

Typically when a sitting leader of a country gets shot it's not by their own accord.

Shot is much more inaccurate of a description than assassinated, unless you want to ignore/downplay a sitting political leader getting murdered for political purposes.

If you're going to be this pedantic, I'll point out that specifying it was a shooting is both more accurate and, given the gun laws, more significant politically.

This may be the most absurd thing ive read on HN. To be clear, are you really suggesting someone breaking gun laws was more significant than the murder of the head of state?
