What the video says

A replacement campaign speech in Nara City seemed completely routine. On July 8th, former prime minister Shinzo Abe was fatally shot. The gunman acted on a deep grudge against the Unification Church. At forty-one, Tetsuya Yamagami slipped past security with a homemade firearm. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. Where do you lay the blame: on security lapses or church influence? The documented case is on casepin dot org.
