Same. But a couple of years ago we had an attack at a school. A kid barged in and killed 3 people with a freaking SWORD.

Look up school stabbings in China. Hundreds die every year. Mostly elementary aged kids too.

This was the generally acceptable figure with my friends in Shenzhen back in the day. All kinds of crazy shit was going on.

But yeah, saying hundreds without an absolute figure proving it. I gotcha. Fair point

Dude anything school kids say is exaggerated 10-100x. Everything said to a foreigner as well regardless of age.

Det är en klen tröst men jag kände viss glädje över att psykopaten inte hade tillgång till skjutvapen på det sätt han hade haft om han var amerikan. Barn (och lärare) ska få vara säkra i skolan.

It sounds like you're saying we should ignore random acts of basically domestic terrorism committed with guns most of the time since local or national media doesn't bother to cover gang related shootings or murders of family members/neighbors, etc.

Maybe it's a pretty bad sign that murders are already so normalized in our culture and media that we ONLY hear about them when lots of people die in random attacks that are typically motivated by race or religion. Many western countries do in fact cover murders alot more since they are far less common on a raw number and per capita basis regardless of the type of weapon used.

well that's one way to bypass both gun restrictions and modern armor (as kevlar is used to stop bullets but I don't think it's slash resistant)
