School slashings on the rise in China

A Chinese man was executed on Sunday morning for stabbing 29 children and three teachers

Looks like it is part of a trend:

A string of attacks at Chinese schools has killed a total of 27 people and injured more than 80 since March

It is indeed sad that sickos take out their problems in life on children

"Xu admitted his motive was to vent rage against society after losing money in gambling and business, while suffering other setbacks in his personal life," Xinhua said.

Not sure how the other attacks were carried out, sad nonetheless.

Naturally knives kill people, people don't kill people. Thus, China should ban all knives also, even toy ones. Zero tolerance policy also, sporks can be knives and should be outlawed. In fact, kids should only have hands.

Better yet, hands can kill, maybe they should be handcuffed, same with legs. Heads should be put into padding, mouths muzzled, lest there be bitings of throats. In fact, we should just muzzle them against words too, those can create depression and eventual death.

We should blindfold them also, lest somebody give the "evil eye" and cause depression.

That should tidy things up a bit, everybody can be safe, "feel good", and be a winner then!

You love China loooong time ?

Lol I actually typed out my post and then deleted it to avoid turning this into a gun thread, but now that LegendKiller's done it for me:

The counter-argument is that "Imagine how much more damage he could have done if he'd had a gun". Which is actually true, but is irrelevant to the larger issue. The only way to ensure that bad people can't harm good people is for the good people to be on equal terms with the bad people. Not saying that little kids should be armed, but if a significant percentage of people are armed such that assaults like this carry a high probability of being shot in the act, you'll see crime drop like a stone.

The opposition would rather leave you and themselves individually vulnerable simply so they can feel more secure. It takes the responsibility out of their hands.

Bottom line: Banning weapons of any kind does not stop violent crime. When it comes down to being robbed or worse, the responsible armed civilian will likely come away intact with his/her property. The equivalent unarmed weapon-banning opposition member will be nothing more than a victim completely at the criminal's mercy.

Stop taking it on the kids

 

[TwinsenTacquito]

Ban knives, sharp sticks, glass, and rocks.

wtf??

13 people died in the Columbine incident, and that was two kids with guns. How did this guy take out so many people with a knife?

Perhaps he was a shaolin monk?

Obviously knives should be banned

Forget banning weapons, we need to ban Asian people from ever coming into the country. They're also better with guns than white people - Virginia Tech shooter was South Korean and he single handedly killed 32 people and injured 25 people; that's double what those white kids at Columbine did.

Good point. The Woodbridge shooter was white and he couldnt hit the wall without help.

:awe:

Wow it only took 1 month to convict and execute this guy. If it were in CA he'd be sitting on death row for the rest of his life gaming the system by filing appeal after appeal. Old age would of claimed him before he would of been executed in our state.

Fixed for better accuracy.

The high profile political and entertainment figures who are in opposition to gun ownership have no problem filing for CCW permits using their money, political connections or fame to attain such a permit.

I wouldn't use China as a model for a good justice system.

When it comes to dealing with a person in which there is no doubt of guilt China is very efficient in action which is the point I was trying to illustrate. A person such as Charles Manon wouldn't of lasted more then a few days or weeks in China.

 

[piasabird]

That guy from west virginia was a college student, so maybe his killing logic and procurement methods were better. Or perhaps he was a racist that hated all white people. If you watch too much TV it is worse than playing video games.

Perhaps his insanity and hatred had more time to devolop.

 

[piasabird]

So what we need are swifter state-run executions? Interesting point of view. I would almost agree with that, but I think we need some time after the trial to give a person a chance to come up with some kind of rebuttal or evidence to prove his innocince. However, I was thinking of maybe 3-6 months, not over 10 years of appeals.

Yes, and a person like Howard Stern would be thrown in jail for 30 years if he called the current government a joke.
I am sure there is never any doubt of guilt in a system like Chinas.

Of which that has nothing to do with the discussion on dealing with homicdal individuals.

Apparently he knew how to use it.

sounds like ... Israel.

Ohhh, yes it does.
You cant realistically have super harsh laws for one crime and let all other just slide. If you wanna do the whole eye-for-an-eye thing it will easily slip over into anything the government wants to curb, eventually free speech will be among them. Eventually someone, somewhere will decide that folks who speak out against the government are treasonous and therefore mass murderers.
