I n April a BMW racing through a fruit market in Foshan in China’s Guangdong province knocked down a 2-year-old girl and rolled over her head. As the girl’s grandmother shouted, “Stop! You’ve hit a child!” the BMW’s driver paused, then switched into reverse and backed up over the girl. The woman at the wheel drove forward once more, crushing the girl for a third time. When she finally got out from the BMW, the unlicensed driver immediately offered the horrified family a deal: “Don’t say that I was driving the car,” she said. “Say it was my husband. We can give you money.”
It seems like a crazy urban legend: In China, drivers who have injured pedestrians will sometimes then try to kill them. And yet not only is it true, it’s fairly common; security cameras have regularly captured drivers driving back and forth on top of victims to make sure that they are dead. The Chinese language even has an adage for the phenomenon: “It is better to hit to kill than to hit and injure.”
This 2008 television report features security camera footage of a dusty white Passat reversing at high speed and smashing into a 64-year-old grandmother. The Passat’s back wheels bounce up over her head and body. The driver, Zhao Xiao Cheng, stops the car for a moment then hits the gas, causing his front wheels to roll over the woman. Then Zhao shifts into drive, wheels grinding the woman into the pavement. Zhao is not done. Twice more he shifts back and forth between drive and reverse, each time thudding over the grandmother’s body. He then speeds away from her corpse.

In Shanghai, you take your life in your hands crossing a street even at a marked crosswalk. You get the same consideration as a leaf in the road. I walk with a cane, which should have indicated some caution. One came so close I swung my cane at the car taking out a headlight. Instead of an international incident...the car never slowed and just drive on by. This isn’t a psychopath in a car, it is Chinaman driving a car!
It's probably harder to bribe the judge when a Westerner is killed.
The victim has ample time to crawl away, as the driver and passengers exit the vehicle, run around yelling with their arms in the air, then reenter the vehicle.
Yes, and it will be our Chinese masters driving the cars.
AFTER BIRTH ABORTION

Are you complaining, agreeing, or just in typical fashion, again trolling Norm, every single day, out of all these threads, and all these posters, you are able to show up “coincidentally” behind Norm every single day?
Coincidentally, I don’t thinks so, but I don’t know how the moderator observes this rather haunting, taunting, trolling behavior of yours.
What, is your hair on fire again ma’am?
I could pity Norm and let the pretentious wreck alone, but really this screaming meemie squad of his is circus grade ridiculous. It’s begging to be trolled because trolling gets such a rise out of it.
And I know how I pick topics, ma’am, and none of them are from searches for Norm. Since I know that a claim that I am searching for Norm is B.S. I can proceed with great confidence.
If Norm is “conservative” he is giving conservatives a bad name. Conservatives actually THINK. They know something genuine about God too. There isn’t anything resembling that coming from Norm. There is babified, elementary school grade taunting.
I suppose I could show him mercy because maybe he does not know better.
Where is all this “ma’am” business coming from, just since the mods have been recently paged to your trolling of Norm Lenhart?
It has become so unavoidably noticeable that it’s creepy.
The thing is, sweet, that someone who would troll so boldly, with the mods on tap, would also tell some whoppers to get out of the trail he leaves behind...of showing up after Norm on so many of these threads. I mean, the record speaks for itself, precious.
Getting a little personal against Norm, here, aren’t you?
Your last sentence works for the peace of all, if you could just make that break.

China is a hellhole.
I guess a little courtesy is lost on you too, ma’am.
Maybe you and Catherine and Norm are all clowns secretly intending, by being bad examples, to show the world that being classy is the way to go.
But if so, the touch of irony required is simply lost on me. All I see is taunting. Just frankly, IMHO.
No bugles?
Weird
Frankenstein WINS!!!!

1. It is FR courtesy to ping those freepers whom you discuss in a post.
2. Your last sentence in your post at #47, is representative of a very good idea. Act on it and peace is instantaneously restored. (You are interested in peace aren’t you?)
So you admit to trolling. Okay.
I think a lot of things could be solved if Hi-Tech pulled out the stick and found himself a sense of humor.
Well it’s not like he hides it well...

Any of you that want to keep up the bickering, keep it on this thread which is now in the Smoky Backroom.
