Did Abe deserve to die? No, I don't think so.
But I can say that I had a particular dislike for him once all the scandals came to the surface. On top of that, it's well-known that he still held a TON of influence and was arguably called Kingmaker. I'm definitely not happy about his death, but I also can't say I'm particularly sad either.
Really, the more crazy stuff is that the gun was completely home-made and how many bombs and other explosives were found at the guy's apartment. I would expect something like that in America, but NOT Japan.
