    Default Man slashes 22 children near China school

    [QUOTE]
    By John Hannon

    December 14, 2012, 1:47 a.m.
    BEIJING -- A man with a knife slashed 22 children and one adult outside an elementary school in Henan province Friday morning, China's worst such incident in more than a year.

    The attack was reminiscent of a spate of knife attacks on schoolchildren that took place across China in 2010. In most cases, the attackers were unemployed middle-aged men, leading to speculation that the assaults stemmed from economic and social discontent.

    Friday's attack occurred at about 7:40 a.m. as children were arriving outside the gate of Chenpeng Village

    In 2010, nearly 20 children were killed and 50 wounded in a string of copycat incidents around central China. China has strict gun control laws, so knives are the weapon of choice in violent crimes.



    Chinese are more fcked up than Americans are...god damn

    Rediculous topic. Lets not pretend that this would go down on a regular basis in the US. Dude would have been tackled or jumped to death. I can't count how many videos i've seen in China where a child is getting ran over by a dozen cars or some other brutal attack and the asian people just carry on with their day.

    Americans may have depression issues, but we don't let shit like that go down. So take this topic and shove it, Flagrant.

    Imagine if the guy had possession of some assault rifles, no one is saying that people will stop killing other people if you take guns away. Killing is part of humanity, but it's harder to kill other people with knifes than it is with guns.

    a wacko with a gun killed more in a couple of minutes than several wackos knifes during a full year.

    yes it does.

    And guns aren't the issue but banning them will save lives, period.

    You didn't make this topic because its a tragedy with this man did, but to combat any arguments about more gun control. Children woke up this morning expecting to get out of school and go watch The Hobbit this weekend and all some people care to do is defend their political stance.

    how doesnt it help. 22 injured kids. vs dead kids. a gun allows a psychopath to create a much larger swath of destruction. If the guy in Conn had a knife, how many lives would be lost? Obviously its bigger than gun control, but the fact that I can buy a 30 round assault rifle (only intent is to kill people) off walmart.com allows them a much more deadly avenue for their psychosis.

    As others have pointed out, every other country has had something like this. The difference is, it generally creates a change in law. We allow it to happen again and again. The list of mass shootings since 2005 is over 62 pages long. We dont even remember the mass shootings before columbine anymore. If you think this has nothing to do with the ease of access for anyone to get their hands on a gun whose sole purpose is taking the life of another human, there is something wrong with you.
