Without a shred of evidence to support the theory, the BBC are reporting (reporter Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, 52 minutes ago) that the assassination of Japan's ex-PM Shinzo Abe may be due to 'a crime which is becoming more common here - the quiet, lonely male with a grudge against something or someone.'

So - all quiet males, happy to go about their singular hobbies of fishing, motorcycling and hillwalking are to be demonised, and seen as a potential threat to society? This is nuts.
