“Dang, that’s a lot of people to kill with knives!”

It sure is. To actually kill them would really take a good deal of skill. I suppose they cut their throats, I think that would be the only way to ensure death quickly with a knife, but to cut someone’s throat you’ve got to over power them first.

Too bad this is China, we’ll probably never hear the whole truth about it.

But I do hope they’ll tell the world if it was Muslims, not that the world will care.

Well, the people in the world will care, but not our feckless, western leaders.

“The Chinese exempt them from their “one-child” policy.”

Is there ANY explanation for that, rational or otherwise?

Just ignore it. Killings with knives don’t count with the mainstream media unless it is an illegally obtained knife in the U.S.
On December 14th 2012 the school shooting at Newtown Connecticut claimed the lives of 28 people.

On the same day:
A man wielding a knife attacked students Friday at a school in central China, leaving 22 children and one adult injured, according to state-run media reports.
The attack occurred at the gate of an elementary school in the village of Chengping, in Henan Province.

This story was barely mentioned.

Yup. But it is surely significant that the Chinese knife attack resulted in a lot of injuries by no deaths.

It is just so much harder to kill a bunch of people with a knife versus a gun.
