You might read my headline and think, "Whatever this guy thinks is many, can't be that many" or "Nice generalization buddy". Here's what's many to me: for the last 3 days, there've been daily cases of some Chinese dude going buckwild in an orphanage / school. On Friday, some guy took a hammer to some preschoolers before dousing himself with gasoline and then lighting a match. Oh, he had a kid in each arm. Yesterday, a knife-wielding dude got at 28 kindergartners. Day before that, a different guy slashed up 18 primary aged kids. I don't really have a sociological diagnosis or any insight on this, yet. Just wanted to share how weird this reads to me.
From cnn.com:
A man attacked preschool children with a hammer in east China on Friday, injuring five before setting himself on fire in a classroom suicide, state media reported.
The attacker poured gasoline over himself while holding two children in his arms, a government spokesman told Xinhua news agency.
Teachers managed to pull the two children away from the man. He died at the primary school in Weifang City, Shandong Province, the spokesman said.
All five victims from the attack were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident followed at least three other separate attacks in China in recent weeks in which assailants have killed or wounded students.
On Thursday, at least 28 children were injured when a man with a knife attacked a kindergarten in east China, state media said. Most of the victims were 4-year-olds and three of the children were in critical condition.
Police said they have arrested a 47-year-old suspect. The incident happened in Taixing city in Jiangsu province.
A day earlier, a man attacked 18 students and a teacher with a knife at a primary school in southern China's Guangdong province, Xinhua said.
