    Communism is working pretty well for 'Murica. Where else can you get cheap labor from an ideal country where everyone is equal.

    I will never understand how people can be so charged up with hate that they would murder innocent civilians like this. What is it that does this to them?

    Unless it's religion, they were probably social misfits. Maybe both. They flipped.

    Some reports have said that the attackers were Uigher separatists but I would be hesitant to just buy that. Knife attacks have happened recently in China including one that killed an American tourist during the Olympics. In almost all of those cases it they weren't religious or political but acts of insanity like most of the mass shootings that have happened in the US.

    And those cases you mentioned were the act of a lone killer or just a couple of insane. What happened in KunMing was done by over a dozen of killers. Four of them were shot to death at the scenes while one was caught but quite a number ran away. According to the earlier report.

    It does not necessarily related but just a two hours ago, there's a bomb attack in a restaurant in DongGuan, GuangDong Province.

    Collective insanity? What could cause that? Maybe a certain extremist ideology?

    Yes, you are right. Just responding to a post that is trying to make it seem like it was "just insanity". As was pointed out, the fact that it was not one, but a group of attackers does not support that theory.

    just once I'd like to see one of these pychopaths who wants to murder innocent lives meet their match with a civilian weilding a firearm and got shot in the skull.
