Why guard it now? A little too late for that.

Shame they didn’t guard him as closely as they did his house.

RIP, sad situation, duly acknowledged.

But what is the point now?

"Come on guys, let's get those traffic cones out, we can't have any respecters and mourners getting too close. The stable door's behind you. Who's got the bolt?

A former prime minister should have at least 3 or more bodyguards at all time.

As always in Japan:too much,too late.

There is more security around Abe-san's house than there was around him in Nara.

Why are they lining up that way

3 ( +4 / -1 )

Just as in Nara they're all facing the same way.

2 ( +8 / -6 )

Ridiculous, just like his "Security".

Selling after the market.

They are more vigilant when it comes to checking for cars

making the wrong turn than guarding a former PM.

What a shame. Till date I have not heard any discussion or explanation

why even with an heli it took 50 minutes to ferry Mr. Abe to the hospital.

It is an emergency if it means stopping traffic on a highway to allow the heli

land or have it land on an elementary school ground it had to be done to save

because every second counts and can make a big difference.

Closing the gate after the horse has bolted!

Why are they lining up that way

Because pedestrians have to walk on right/left side of public road/street, must not in the middle.

Why guard it now? A little too late for that.

Because more politicians come to Abe's house to say farewell to him and also condole to his wife.

I believe the guarding of Abe's house is a show of respect/remorse for what happened and is more symbolic than anything.

-2 ( +4 / -6 )

What an inconvenience for the neighbors.

Noise, blocking the street, loss of privacy, not let people morn in peace is the ultimate insult.

Abe will be cremated,but where do PM remain be housed
