Violence is still, in the A-I-R now, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
In the crowded downtown areas of Beijing yesterday afternoon, there was, a hacking, a man used a knife, and hacked people at random in the West Single Joy Town Shopping strip, the mass public flew into a frenzy and scattered, with the blood stains left all over the flooring, as the police rushed over, they’d, taken the man into custody, and sent the people he’d injured to the hospital. The Beijing Police weblog “Safe Beijing” sent out the news, that the incident had caused one death and twelve other injured.
The police department in Beijing stated, that of the thirteen injured, there were, three men, ten women. A woman died because the paramedics couldn’t resuscitate her, and, the others who were injured are now, being rescued, and are all in, stable condition. At the preliminary investigations, the police found, that the suspect was Chu, a man from Xihua County in Henan, age 35. He’d admitted to hacking people down, because he’d felt, displeased. The case is currently undergoing investigation.
A member of the New Waves weblog who was a witness stated, “We were under lockdown at the Swarovski store, the workers were panicky, they’d, stuttered as they’d, checked us out. A fourth person was taken out on a stretcher already, and, there were, many who were, running, toward the exits, the escalator stopped working, a lot of special task forces police had, sealed up the mall now. There were, many who were hacked who’d, covered up their heads, and walked along, we’d heard, that the perp goes for the neck and the head, each strike was, deadly.”
There were also witnesses claiming, that after someone was injured, the panic spread through the public, with people running all over the places, “As I was heading up the escalator with my classmates, everybody was running down”, children were so shocked they’d, started crying loud, it was, total chaos.
The mall opened for business back in December of 2007, no more than 200 meters away from Chang-An Street, a primary shopping place for the metropolis of Beijing, with enormous crowds.
So, this perpetrator probably, selected this particular spot to go off violently, because of how many people are going there, and he’d, probably wanted to, create the most injuries in one strike, and this just showed, how dangerous it is, no matter how safe and secure you believe you are, you’re never really, completely, safe, because you don’t know when someone is going to snap for some reasons, and start, stabbing people at random, or worse, gunning down everybody s/he sees!
