The *Hebei tractor rampage* was a spontaneous mass murder<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_murder> incident in which 17 people were killed in Yuanshi County<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuanshi_County> , Hebei <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebei>, China<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Republic_of_China>by a shovel loader.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebei_tractor_rampage#cite_note-Tractor_rampage_attack-1> The rampage began when coal worker <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_mining> Li Xianliang (æç°äº®), who had been drinking[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebei_tractor_rampage#cite_note-Angry_drunk-2> and had blood alcohol content<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content> of 154 milligrams per 100 millilitres,[3]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebei_tractor_rampage#cite_note-154_per_100-3> had an argument with a customer,[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebei_tractor_rampage#cite_note-Tractor_rampage_attack-1> whom he then tried to kill.[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebei_tractor_rampage#cite_note-Angry_drunk-2> The customer escaped, but another nearby was killed as the rampage began.[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebei_tractor_rampage#cite_note-Angry_drunk-2> The attack followed unrelated attacks on schools<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Chinese_school_attacks> elsewhere in China; the Chinese government<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China> removed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship> some mentions of the incidents from the internet in China<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_China> for fear that mass coverage of such violence can provoke copycat<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copycat_crimes> attacks.[4]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebei_tractor_rampage#cite_note-leaves_9_dead-4> The various attacks on anonymous people and an attack on police<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_Jia> have resulted in calls for better mental health<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_health> care, as mental health problems often go undiagnosed and untreated in China<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_health_in_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China> .[5]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebei_tractor_rampage#cite_note-Drunken_Man_Kills_11-5> J - Ninety percent of politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation. - Henry Kissinger Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel. - John Quinton On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 10:00 PM, Jerry Barnes <critic...@gmail.com> wrote: > " I know I could have, but still....." > > It's probably better that you didn't. > > J > > - > > Ninety percent of politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation. > - Henry Kissinger > > Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, > go out and buy some more tunnel. - John Quinton > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:362101 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
