Under interrogation by detectives, conducted in Mandarin, he told of his disillusionment with life since coming to the United States in 2004 and of his jealousy toward those who had found success here. The police listed him as unemployed.
BEIJING — A vehicle plowed through dozens of pedestrians and policemen near Tiananmen Square at lunchtime Monday, then crashed in front of Tiananmen Gate and burst into flame.
Five people were believed dead — the driver, two passengers, a female tourist from the Philippines and a male tourist from South China's Guangdong province — and 38 people were injured, reported Qianlong.com, a Beijing government news website. Authorities cleared Tiananmen Square, home to Mao's tomb, after the crash.

I just emailed the writer of the story with this. "Hi David. A very sad story indeed. Horrible does not begin to describe it. A possible follow up article could investigate why people are not calling for (and the media does not mention) a ban on knives as they do when a firearm is used in an unspeakable crime.

Evil people have, and always will, continue to find evil ways to do evil things. Stricter gun laws are not the answer. Your thoughts? Sincerely, A1850

We definitely need some common sense knife legislation
Five more lives cut short by a crazed knifeman.
The blood-splattered relative charged with hacking to death five family members inside their Brooklyn apartment is an illegal alien from China, a police source told The Post on Sunday.
Of course it's sad what happened, but funny how people aren't blaming the knife?
