This guy killed 29, injured 130 .... with a knife, in a train station, in a country with extremely strict gun control laws.
Oh, how fast the language evolves: we're using now singulars for... what...less than a dozen people? From the quoted link:
"We saw two people carrying big cleavers hacking whoever is in the way. They almost got to my back. Then I lost contact with (my friend) and I saw blood splashing in front of me."
Twenty-nine people were killed and 130 were injured Saturday night when 10 men armed with long knives stormed the station in the southwest Chinese city of Kunming, the state news agency Xinhua reported.
Chinese state TV showed investigators putting a knife with a blade at least 2 feet long into an evidence bag.
So, in one corner 10 persons manage to kill 29 and injure 130 in a busy train station. In the other corner, 1 (one) puny looking guy shoots dead 9 others, stopped because no others were handy.
Place your bets on where the next rampage is most likely to be announced.
Ready? So... who bet West Philadelphia [foxnews.com] - 7 wounded in random shooting?
