For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the stampede...
Pathological greed?

This is so sad. Poor people were just trying to celebrate. I don’t even think it was greed so much as it was poor planning. The space is too small for so many people to have a money drop event.

The USA does the stampedes on Black Friday for cheap chinese imported junk scattered in Walmarts.

So that is how China celebrates New Year, wow.
To: TigerLikesRooster
As I recall, fake money is common in traditional Chinese celebrations. I’ve even seen it on funeral altars in Singapore, to help the dead in their next lives, as I recall.
So maybe the Commies stamped out traditions and now the people go nuts for fake yen.

I’ve seen fake goods from China on Canal Street.
These days, you have to go in the back of their tents or do a quick deal while they close.

The fool who threw out the phoney money should “spend” the rest of his life in prison for 35 murders...second degree murder?
