China's Knife Attacks

I'm unsure how much news coverage this has received

The basic story is that a mentally unstable person grabbed a knife and went through a school stabbing and slashing at random. At first you may find this a very sad and scary story, but not worth of any extra note. What makes this worthy of noting is that these crimes have been happening over and over again in China. The Wikipedia page says there have been 21 killed and 90 injured in 6 separate attacks. The attacks started with one man killing 8 in a school in March. He was caught, convicted, and killed by April 28th. However, copycat crimes soon sprang up with more mentally unstable people grabbing knives and hammers and attacking children. The latest one involved 10 men charging in a dormitory at once with knives.

It's scary shit.

	China's worst such incident in March 2001 destroyed a schoolhouse and killed at least 42 people, most of them children. Officials blamed a mentally ill man who charged into the school in Jiangxi province with a bag full of dynamite. Parents disputed that, claiming their children had been forced to make fireworks at the school.

That's an interesting paragraph. Especially the last sentence.
