A court in China has sentenced a man to death for killing 35 people last month by driving into a crowd, in an attack that raised national concern about mass killings.
Fan Weiqiu was venting his anger because he was unhappy with his divorce settlement, the court in the southern city of Zhuhai said in handing down the sentence on Friday. The victims were exercising at a sports centre at the time of the attack. Fan pleaded guilty to endangering public safety by dangerous means, a court statement said.
Dude 35 people? That’s so sad. Makes me think the spouse made the right choice to GTFO.
I mean, if we are going to go by body count because of lunatics taking out their hate on strangers, she made a worse choice coming here, no?

In my country couple of weeks ago a guy ordered a hit on his ex girlfriend’s store. The store blew up and collapsed including the several apartments above it. Six unrelated people died. A kid survived, he lost his parents and sister.
Some men need to stay single forever and never get into a relationship.
But not being in a relationship is what causes them to do these things…
Cars have been around for almost a century. Has this “goimg postal in a car” thing started happening only recently (and increasingly) or it was just outside of the news cycle?
It’s been done the same rate the past 80 or hundred years, but incidents have only attracted attention, so widely, due to internet.

oh absolutely not. The information has just not been reported on… for some reason.
The kindergarten stabbings that are really common in China are hardly talked about in the west and have been happening for iirc 5 years.
Here’s a video by someone who used to live in China talking about it https://youtu.be/bEjsGj-NTFwIt’s new, along with the uptick of other mass violence events. It’s just that in the US it’s guns, in other places, it’s cars or bladed weapons.
