Prayers for the families.
They are young men who can not find a wife and have no hope of ever finding a wife.
They are poor farmers or laborers in areas with an over abundance of men like themselves and a dearth of young women due to decades of enforcement of single child families.
These men suffer from loneliness and despair of ever having a wife or a family. They see these children go to the nursery schools day after day and eventually are filled with rage and self hatred and decide to end it all in a fury to send a message as best they can to those who put them in this position.
The people in power in our country look to China’s one child policy and think wistfully of such forward thinking decisions.
An extension of China’s “one child” policy??
I suppose it is possible but it does not seem likely.
Shandong province is in eastern China on the Yellow Sea and not close to any Muslim populated areas.

“Alarm bells ring over China school attacks”
By Shirong Chen
BBC China editor
SNIPPET: “The attack in the eastern province of Shandong happened despite a government vow to beef up security for schools and kindergartens across the country.
Police in the city of Zibo have detained 26-year-old Fang Jiantang, who reportedly confessed to the killings of three children and one teacher on Tuesday. Many others were injured, two seriously.”
SNIPPET: “A spate of similar attacks from March to May had shocked the country.”
