Children shot in schoolyard attack (In China)
The Herald Sun (Australia) ^ | October 113, 2005 | From correspondents in Beijing

Posted on 10/13/2005 12:05:29 AM PDT by FreedomCalls

A CHINESE man shot and injured 16 young schoolchildren as they were doing their morning exercises, Xinhua news agency said today.

It was the latest in a wave of school attacks to shock the country in recent years.

The middle-aged man opened fire with several home-made guns at the children at the Niutoushan Primary School in impoverished eastern Anhui province yesterday morning, Xinhua said.

Seven of the 16 wounded were in serious condition in hospital in the neighbouring province of Zhejiang.

One man working near the school tried to stop the shooting but was knocked down by the gunman as he made his escape, Xinhua said.

There have been a series of attacks on schools and schoolchildren around China, some by people who have lost their jobs or felt left out of the recent economic boom.

A carpenter broke into a school in southern China in April and cut off part of a boy's ear with a kitchen knife and half a girl's middle finger.

Two children and a teacher were killed last year in the Chinese capital Beijing in two separate kindergarten attacks.

A Chinese bus driver stabbed and wounded 25 primary school children in the eastern province of Shandong in September 2004. The same month, a man wielding a knife and homemade bombs injured 28 children in the eastern city of Suzhou.

That was my first thought. Is Anhui province in the Muslim western zone?

Cross link to another thread where this is mentioned, along with another country, more schools, more killings by these animals.

You're welcome.

I'm following in the online news both the China and Russian incidents of children being shot.

So it is unemployment that drives people to mutilate children, then?

I always wondered about that.

In light of this key information, there is only one possible solution to the epidemic of attacks on children in China: government-sponsored jobs for everyone.

Don't agree? Think of the children! :^P

What do her qualifications matter, it's so much more interesting to get lots of media attention by bashing her.

Notice very single person who is opposing her admits to knowing nothing about her.

Meiers is the repository for every grievance against the President. CFR, prescription drugs, war on drugs, you name it!

In the meantime, it's hard to imagine that abortion rights are more important to Americans than the right to keep and bear arms.

Thanks for bringing this up. I have watched in stunned amazement as otherwise intelligent friends became drooling, snarling beasts whenever this subject came up.

The middle-aged man opened fire with several home-made guns

Proof positive that it's the CRIMINAL not the gun that causes violence.

No one is going to break into your home and force you to have an abortion.

A change in the culture will naturally bring about less abortions.

The right to defend oneself from home invasion or a threat on the streets is not something I wish to give up to the liberals.

Not a single a person supporting here seems to know anything about her either...
The fact that we DON'T know anything about her is a good reason to oppose her.
