Knife-wielding mob kills 27 at China train station

[Sheilbh]

You laugh but wasn't it Britain who wanted to ban swords when somebody cut somebody up with a Katana replica?

Samurai swords are banned. There were about 100 attacks with them in five years and a few murders. They became weirdly popular with gangs.

There's lots of restrictions on knives too.

So is China just morally insane as a country?

No, they're just not the ethnically homogenous country the world seems to think it is.   And the Han Chinese are not welcome in the west.

Yunnan has been Chinese for two thousand years.

Yunnan has been Chinese for two thousand years.

Apparently somebody forget to post that memo at the train station.

[Queequeg]

If it really was Uighur radicals, that's thousands of miles away from Yunnan.  They're close to opposite ends of the country.

Big fucking deal, Uighur radicals have attacked people in Tiananmen Square.  You go where you can do the damage.

Now I know this whole Ukrainian thing has gotten your ethnic erection all incredibly purple and shit, but try not to think about China's issues through Cossackstani lenses.

And NYC is thousands of miles from the Middle East.  Do you have a point?

[Queequeg]

I thought

indicated that CdM thought that the Chinese weren't welcome in Yunnan, when self-described Chinese are 90% of the population and the rest aren't radically anti-Chinese. 

[CountDeMoney]

Yunnan's only 2/3rds Han, and most of that is a result of WW2 and again under Mao's western migration policies.  And guess what, they weren't welcome then, either.

Whether or not this attack has anything to do with Yunnan, Yunnan's still not what you think it is, Cossack.

A group of determined men dressed in black and wearing balaclavas, knives tucked into belts, march towards the train station. At the entrance their leader signals them to stop.

Tense seconds tick by as he studies the pamphlet on the door. People shuffle nervously past them.

Finally he takes off his balaclava and turns towards his men.

"It appears that this place has been Chinese for two millennia," he says.

"Huh," says one. "Really. I didn't know that."

The leader shrugs. "Well, I guess that's that, then."

"Thank God," one of the would be assassins says as they stomp off. "We almost made a grave mistake there!"

[CountDeMoney]

   You forgot it was printed on Imperial stationery.

[Queequeg]

I don't think there's any indication this incident had anything to do with Yunnan besides the fact that Yunnan is a province of China and China controls Xinjiang.

I'm not the one that posited the premise that it has anything to do with Yunnan;  all I said was "the west" and that you attack soft targets when and where the opportunity presents itself.  The Yunnan discussion diverged on its own, Mr. 2000 Years.

Now take your Assburger meds, you've been too literal lately.

[Siege]

imagine the death toll if they had guns 

Zero dead if the people had guns.
The fear of gun ownership and armed civilians keep criminals in check.
They know they cannot fuck around.

However, in China, they are 100% sure no one is armed, not even with a knife, which accounts for the high death toll.

So take your liberal views swallow them with my cum, faggot.
Pussies like you really piss me off..
If it were up to you we would all be fucking slaves.

   Is that the way it works in  the US Seeb?
