That's in my area. I wonder if they've filled her position yet...
Sucks for the kid though.

I don't think even Joker from Batman would wear that.

I know, what horrible people.
I mean when was the last time you heard of a childrens being killed by another race other than the Chinese? People with mental illness that commit crimes? Not here in the USA, no sir.
If you had actually read the article, you'd see that was the 5th attack of schoolkids by an adult in two months in China. And I believe they were all with knives. Using a knife to kill someone is a lot more personal and vengeful than using a gun. The situation is completely heinous, I'm obviously not saying all Chinese are capable of this or that it couldn't happen here. I'm aware of a couple of cases, I think, of this sort of thing happening in the States. But it surely didn't happen 5 times in 2 months.
It's just abnormal that a number of people would do something this awful, in the same detached way.

I've read through the entire article and am aware of the situation.
It's certainly is a strange situation, but if you didn't mean "all Chinese are capable of this" then don't start the post with "What the fuck is wrong with the Chinese". I find it highly annoying when someone immediately point toward race the moment something bad happens.
That aside.
It's very odd that this happen so frequently. The cynic in me can't accept that it's a chain coincidence or copy-cat attacks.
So exactly how much security did this latest victim school have? 2000 police? They made it sound like the place was only full of women and children (or very timid, weak men).
Adding another 1 school to the count, I sure hope they can come up with a connection to link all of these. Pouring resources into it is only a temporary measure until they figure out what's going on.
As for the "knife" comment, I don't think guns are as readily available in China as in the US.

So.. what are those women meant to wear in public? Is uncovering the face in that scenario a violation of their religion, or would it come under "follow the laws of the land"?

of course France takes offense to something that covers that much of the body. France has been pioneering almost-nude fashion for centuries.

A news crew investigating oil washing ashore in Louisiana was threatened with arrest by BP ( British Petrolium ) Workers who were accompanied by 2 coast guard officials.
The coast guard officials stated that it was not their rules... but BP rules..
So, wait. You mean that some british oil company has a legal authority in the united states? wtf is that?
That was a fucked up move and I imagine they'll pay for it in the media.

wait, I thought BP was changed from 'British Petroleum', to 'Basic Petroleum'. or maybe that's just a phrase they use in their commercials. :\

The BP guys probably thought the news crew was going to steal some oil from the shores. It's still their oil, even if it's floating in and on the ocean. Oil is so precious they have to guard every liter of it.
The whole thing would be a huge farce if it wasn't causing such massive environment damage. The BP CEO and board of directors should be sent to jail. In China they would be waiting for an execution already. It's marvelous in a macabre way how slowly BP is trying to fix it all.
yeah.. It's pretty sickening that it seems they're moving so slow to clean it up.
It almost seems to me like they're more concerned w\ collecting the oil than w\ a plan to seal the leak. The Exxon Valdez was a huge deal when I was in school and at this point it's a tiny spill compared to this disaster.
Personally I feel a law requiring women to cover their faces is several orders of magnitude more ridiculous than a law stating women can't be required to cover their faces.
However, since stating women can't be required wouldn't mean anything as it would be impossible to prove, the only effective solution would be to dictate faces must not be covered.
Doesn't change the fact they are all stupid laws. Only stupid times call for stupid laws.
Well, they're not both laws. One is a religious belief and one is a law.
I personally believe that indoctrinating women to cover themselves from head for fear of being objectified is childish and stupid, but it's obviously a freedom and a choice that should be protected nonetheless.
At the very least it shouldn't be punishable.
