Hello Bob,   
      
    BB>> Small article in today's paper about some small town in China   
    BB>> where a guy went whacadoole and attacked kids with a knife.   
    BB>> Slashed something like 20+ and the kids were trying to fend him   
    BB>> off with brooms. Teachers joined in the broom brigrade and they   
    BB>> finally knocked him down.   
      
    LL>> All 23 children survived, although they were cut up a bit.  The   
    LL>> attacker also survived, but is not expected to be alive much longer   
    LL>> as Chinese justice runs its course.   
      
    BB>> Just a comment - conclude what you wish...   
      
    LL>> I think the attacker is a dead man walking.   
      
   BB>One can hope. :)   
      
   Unlike American justice, which allows convicts to die of old age,   
   Chinese justice is swift, convicts rarely making it past a year in   
   confinement.  And do keep in mind that China is a drug-free society.   
   No lethal injection allowed ...   
      
   BB>Attacking kids is about as low as it goes.   
      
   I coulda been worse.  I mean, it coulda been babies at a nursery.   
      
   BB>China may be tougher on this type than we are.   
      
   Had it been a nursery, I doubt the Chinese would have allowed   
   the shooter to be taken to jail.  Not alive, anyway.
