7 children, 1 teacher killed in attack in China
This did make it: China focuses on security after 5th school attack (By Edward Wong, New York Times)
However, my printed paper ran this:
"Children in China school attack were as young as 3
HANZHONG, China — Children as young as 3 years old were among the victims targeted in an attack at a kindergarten in northwestern China that killed seven toddlers and two adults, a doctor said Thursday.
The attacker who charged into the kindergarten Wednesday and hacked at his victims with a cleaver was also a familiar figure to them, said another doctor. The killer, 48-year-old Wu Huanming, committed suicide at home following the attack.
The assault, which left 11 other children hospitalized, was China's fifth such school rampage in less than two months, and occurred despite heightened security countrywide, with gates and cameras installed at some schools and additional police and guards posted at entrances.
The attacks have raised concerns about the rising emotional stress in China's high-pressure, rapidly changing society, along with a dire lack of infrastructure to diagnose and treat severe mental illness....
Sociologists say the recent attacks that have left 17 dead and scores wounded reflect the tragic consequences of ignoring mental illness and rising stress resulting from huge social inequalities in China's fast-changing society.
Is that why AmeriKa is also so f***ed up (except we do it with guns)?
"The perpetrators have contracted a 'social psychological infectious disease' that shows itself in a desire to take revenge on society," said Zhou Xiaozheng of Beijing's Renmin University.
"They pick children as targets because they are the weakest and most vulnerable," Zhou said.
So that's what is behind Israeli aggression.
The recent attacks are classic "copycat crimes," the effects of which may be amplified by media coverage, Zhou said.
Boosting security at schools would provide only a temporary solution unless the root problems of social injustice and economic inequality are addressed, he said.
It's also difficult to protect so many places.
About 500 kindergartens, primary and high schools in Beijing have hired more than 2,000 professional security guards to increase safety, said He Gang, a police officer at the Beijing Public Security Bureau....
Maybe the Zionist Globe can't read Chinese, huh?
That's odd; it seems to read Hebrew just fine.
"China’s PM addresses school attacks; Vows to tackle social problems" by Edward Wong, New York Times | May 15, 2010
BEIJING — Prime Minister Wen Jiabao of China said in a television interview broadcast late Thursday that the Chinese government would examine the deeper social problems that may have led to the recent string of deadly attacks on schoolchildren. It was the first public comment by a Chinese leader on the violence since the latest attack, in which a landlord in a village hacked to death seven kindergartners, a teacher, and the teacher’s elderly mother on Wednesday.
In a brief interview, Wen said that the government attaches “great importance’’ to investigating the assaults, which have resulted in the deaths of 17 people and the injury of nearly 100 others....
Wen’s comments were an implicit acknowledgment of the challenge that the series of five seemingly unrelated attacks, which began in late March, has posed to the Chinese government. The Chinese regard children as an especially treasured stratum of society, and very prominent dangers to children in the last two years — from tainted baby formula to school collapses — have led parents to call for greater government efforts to stamp out such hazards.
AS DO WE ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, almost all.
Some ordinary Chinese say the recent attacks show an inability by the government to hold together the traditional social fabric in a time of great economic upheaval.
And that -- to the Chinese -- is FRIGHTENING because the culture does value HARMONY!
Btw, Americans, IT APPEARS YOU SHARE something with the Chinese people: the same type of government treatment by a different name.
Under orders from the Propaganda Ministry, most of the main Chinese news organizations have declined to run follow-up stories on Wednesday’s attack....
That is SO LIKE HOLLERING KETTLE, Zionist AmeriKan MSM pot!!!!
Two words for you: Solomon Dwek
In his interview, Wen did not mention addressing mental illness, a topic that the Chinese often avoid discussing. Interviews conducted by the Associated Press in Linchang Village indicate that the killer, Wu Huanming, 48, was an unbalanced individual who had tried to commit suicide and believed that the kindergarten administrator had put a curse on him to prevent his diabetes condition from improving.
Obviously.

He wasn't on pharmaceuticals, was he?
"Man gets death in attack on school
BEIJING — A Chinese court sentenced a man to death for an attack on a school that wounded 29 children and three kindergarten teachers last month. The attack was one of five major assaults against schoolchildren in the last two months that have left 17 dead and more than 50 hurt. Xu Yuyuan was found guilty of attempted murder, the official state Xinhua News Agency reported. The unemployed Xu told the court he was venting his anger against society in the attack, the report said (AP)."
By ATTACKING CUTE LITTLE CHINESE CHILDREN?
Sorry, WRONG TARGET!
Next time try a BANK or something!
Looks like they are wrecking your world, too!
BEIJING — Men with knives burst into a college dormitory and slashed nine students in the latest violence in a country shaken by a recent string of rampages at schools.
Huh?
Yesterday’s predawn attack did not fit the pattern of earlier ones.
No, and IT RAISES a TREMENDOUS STINK!
Instead of a lone man targeting young children, at least five men targeted students in their teens or early 20s. And while China is still struggling to find a motive behind most of the recent stabbings, the latest appeared to be in revenge for an earlier confrontation between students and villagers.
The attack showed that repeated efforts to increase school security across China can still fail....
Agenda-pushing MSM is sure pushing Chinese failure hard, isn't it?
Hmmmmmmmm.
And it spread to the courts, huh?
"Man kills 3 judges, self in China court" by Associated Press | June 2, 2010
BEIJING — A man firing a small automatic weapon burst into a court office in central China yesterday, fatally shooting three judges and wounding three other people before killing himself, an official said.
Where did he get the gun?
The shooting spree was one of at least three violent incidents reported yesterday, the latest in a spate of public attacks, including several on schoolchildren, that has shocked China....
And is destabilizing the Iranian ally as USrael prepares for war on Iran?
I'll tell you one thing this does do: it dispels the myth of China being this locked-down, buttoned-up, always-looking-at-you authoritarian state that is portrayed in the AmeriKan MSM.
Something else that comes out of the classroom, I'm sure:
"Rising economy spurs syphilis spike in China; Baby is born with disease every hour, researchers say" by Margie Mason, Associated Press | May 6, 2010
Every hour a baby is born in China with syphilis, as the world’s fastest-growing epidemic of the disease is fueled by men with new money from the nation’s booming economy, researchers say.
The easy-to-cure bacterial infection, nearly wiped out in China five decades ago, is now the most commonly reported sexually transmitted disease in its largest city, Shanghai.
Prostitutes along with gay and bisexual men, many of whom are married with families, are driving the epidemic, according to a commentary published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!!!!
That's HATE SPEECH!
The increase reflects the country’s staggering economic growth, providing both businessmen and migrant laborers more cash and opportunity to pay for unsafe sex away from home.
I don't think I want to read anymore.
“In the ’50s and ’60s in China, syphilis and other STDs were extremely uncommon....
Unlike other sexually spread diseases, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia, syphilis can eventually ravage the mind and kill if left untreated.
Is that what the MSM of AmeriKa has contracted?
Must have got it from being Israel's whore.
A shot of penicillin is a cheap cure, but many people never experience symptoms and the disease goes undiagnosed.
It is called TELLING the TRUTH, MSM!!
With no mandatory routine screening in place for pregnant women in China, the rate of mother-to-child transmission jumped from 7 to 57 cases per 100,000 live births between 2003 and 2008....
In the United States, despite laws in most states requiring testing during pregnancy, the disease is also making a comeback after nearly being eliminated 10 years ago....
Yeah, too bad sex feels so good, huh?
Syphilis was nearly eradicated in China in the 1960s after a propaganda blitz to shut down brothels which included mass screening and treatment of prostitutes.
Is it LEGAL?
But as free-market reforms thrust the nation’s economy into high gear in the 1980s, the disease rebounded at an unprecedented rate.
Those seem to WRECK SOCIETIES as well as ECONOMIES!
