Driver rams his car into crowd in China, killing 35. Police say he was upset about his divorce

Targeting innocent people? This seems to be a cowardly activity popular in China, I think they refer to it as "social revenge". Punishing all of society for your own personal grievances.

Disgusting really.

ZHUHAI, China (AP) — A man who authorities said was upset over his divorce settlement rammed his car into a crowd of people exercising at a sports complex in southern China, killing 35 and severely injuring dozens of others, police said Tuesday.

Police detained the 62-year-old man, who is being treated for wounds thought to be self-inflicted, shortly after the attack Monday night in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai. The city is hosting the People’s Liberation Army's annual aviation exhibition, which opened Tuesday, and searches for what happened were heavily censored for users behind China's Great Firewall.

Outside of the controls, however, videos circulated on the social media platform X. In several, dozens of people could be seen lying on the track at the sports complex, which is regularly used by hundreds of residents to run, play soccer or dance.


In one, shared by news blogger and dissident Li Ying, a woman says “my foot is broken.” That same video showed a firefighter performing CPR on a person, as others were told to leave. Li, who is known on X as Teacher Li, posts daily news based on user submissions.

In addition to the 35 people killed, police said 43 were injured.

People who are suffering and miserable tend to want others to feel their pain, much like someone who is happy wants everyone else to be happy.

It is simply the human condition, and better explains the concept of God and Satan and what motivates them.

Authoritarian regimes never let the civilians arm themselves.

You cannot empirically suggest this as a fact. Of course there was the terror attack in Vegas and a couple of others, but killing 35 or more has to be a very small percentage of those who use a gun to spread their evil.

Get a divorce and drive into people Grand Theft Auto style. That man should of seeked a therapist instead of plowing through a crowd with a car.

I guess the divorce process isn't any easier on men in China than it is in the US...

There have been similar attacks in China, in which suspects targeted members of the public at random. It all started with xenophobic knife attacks on Japanese nationals in China, fueled by uncontrolled online hate. China should properly regulate its social media.



In October, a man was detained after he allegedly attacked children with a knife at a school in Beijing. Five people were wounded. In September, three people were killed in a knife attack in a Shanghai supermarket, and 15 others were injured. Police said at the time that the suspect had personal financial disputes and came to Shanghai to “vent his anger.”

In May, two people were killed and 21 injured in a knife attack in a hospital in Yunnan province.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping called for the “strict” punishment of the perpetrator according to law, in a statement Tuesday evening.

He also called on all local governments “to strengthen prevention and control of risks at the source, strictly prevent extreme cases from occurring, and to resolve conflicts and disputes in a timely manner,” according to the official Xinhua news agency.
