;A; B-But... they're CHILDREN!

It worries me that China just had five (FIVE!) attacks on schools in the last month. People are running in and stabbing at children or hitting them with hammers, and dozens of kids are injured or killed in each attack.

What... I have no words. :( What is causing this? People cite vague things like personal unhappiness and a helplessness against the

I agree with everything in this post, esp. the crossed out portion.

....so scary......

[firebird_88]

I think it scares me that they've gotten to a point where they're hurting KIDS. Usually when adults are angry, they attack other ADULTS.

This just baffles and terrifies me. DDD: And these are all "good" areas of China as well, and I doubt that all five people were mentally challenged. Wtfffff.

I saw the news on TV, it was really shocking. Who the fuck attacks a kindergarten? D:

[firebird_88]

I KNOW! Those aren't even kids yet, they're practically babies! ;A;

That's just one of them! I think there's been a new one already (since like... yesterday?), involving a hammer and another school.

Saw the news on TV. It's so disturbing. What have the children done to anyone? DDD8; Gods, I hope they'll stop these kindergarten attacks soon. Evening news keeps getting more and more depressing ;o;

They're so young, they're just babies! ;A; It's so horrible that it even happened ONCE, but five times is way too much. I don't know why it's happening all of the sudden. D8

*whispers* Can you post good news once in a while? : xxx

[firebird_88]

^^;;; LOL. Sorry, sorry. xDDD;;

American media is kind of bias in that it tends only to post bad news about China. I will try to post happier stuff when I go back to China over the summer. :D I'm supposed to visit Tibet (maybe) and the giant Shanghai Expo.

[bnomiko]

I would say the media posts bad news in general, not just about China. Which is probably why I never have a clue what's going on in the world.

Yes, good news would be goooood!

First off, WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK. Hurting anything that is helpless is the most despicable thing you can do. Elderly abuse, child abuse, animal abuse... it's the absolute lowest thing a human being can stoop to

[firebird_88]

I know. ;A; It's just painful to even think about. There is NO EXCUSE for any abuse like that.

I totally get what you mean, really. But the problem in China is that you don't even have freedom of speech. Hypothetically, Americans are more responsible with guns because they've ALWAYS had that privelage. Could you imagine of China suddenly allowed people have guns? People would be much more willing to get violent if they had access with guns because suddenly it's a good way to let out a lot of anger. There's a lot of dissent in China because the suddenly growing wealth of the nation is held in only a few people and most of the country is still poor. Lately a lot of cases where poor people have revolted against government officials and even killed them because they were sick of being mistreated. If they had access to guns, I'd be scared. :/ I hate the government and all, but I don't know how the world's most populated country will handle a revolution like that.

I agree, it's terrible to think about. If they're willing to attack the defenseless to show their anger... I don't think they even know how to express themselves. ;_; I can't even imagine a good resolution for this situation.
