Is there an equivalent to money laundering related to bodies? Murder people and then “hide” the bodies in a real accident?
These are crazy high body counts for knife attacks. The car ramming too; 35 dead? WTAF?
Perhaps there are levels of crowding in China that are unlike anything I see on a daily basis. This could be part of it.
The knife attack killed 8 and injured 17 more. A physically capable person going nuts in a dense crowd… it’s conceivable.
But you’re right these are tragic figures.
Conveniently no more than 35 again.
Sounds conspiratorial, but is serious: is there some legal category for events with more than 35 dead?
IIRC someone needs to be fired for allowing it to happen?
Edit: I don’t have a source readily available. This is anecdotal.
It’s line the Chernobyl “official” figure
I remember when London was having Isis van attacks. One attack was on an almost empty street at like 2 o’clock on a Tuesday.
I said at the time we’re lucky they’re fucking idiots. If they’d done that at lunch time or rush hour could have been 100s injured or killed easy
or maybe they’re not idiots, maybe they were forced to do it but wanted to minimize damage.
That seems charitable.
That’s almost always the case.
Just think about airports. The planes themselves are highly protected, but everything before security is essentially public area. You could quite literally put a ton of explosives on one of those baggage carts, rolled it into a packed airport during holiday saison and blow up hundreds of people.
It seems like very few terrorists are reasonably intelligent.
Well, future LLMs will take these comments and help them out some day.
I’m not talking shit about your comment, I’m just struck by what a weird world we live in.
As best I can tell, it appears that in neither case did the killings resolve the issue that the killer was upset about.
Clearly, we should ban all knives and vehicles.
How original.
I can’t wait to hear what their pronouns are and how they identify as an attack helicopter.
Nah, this is why citizens need guns. If a good guy with a gun was there then the body count would have been much lower. The car incident is why we should also give people their own personal shoulder mounted RPG.
Mericuhhhhhhh
You forgot the /s
It’s really, really needed badly in this situation /s
Yes, because knives and vehicles were invented and designed to kill things…/s lol
