Chinese corrections personnel on Monday removed a notorious inmate from death row just over two months after he killed 35 people in a vehicular attack on an outdoor fitness class, the BBC reports.
Fan Weiqiu, 62, had injured dozens more when he drove his car into the people exercising outside a stadium in the southern city of Zhuhai. The execution came on the same day that other asshole Xu Jiajin was canceled for murdering eight people with a knife at his college in the eastern city of Wuxi.
In Fan’s case, the scumbag had been upset over a divorce settlement with his wife while Xu freaked out over being denied a degree due to his shitty grades. Both were just two of 19 different mass violence sprees in China in 2024, with men driven to “take revenge on society” over their personal failures using knives and cars. In America we have candidates similarly situated people can vote for to get their “revenge.” And then when that doesn’t work they can buy an AR-15 and kill others too.
