Glad no one besides the pilot was killed. When you read a headline like that you imagine much worse damage.
I thought this was going to be china’s 9/11
China has in recent years suffered from a spate of what have been called “revenge against society” attacks – deadly rampages committed by people apparently driven to breaking point by personal grievances. Authorities are reluctant to acknowledge such incidents, and when they do, the perpetrator is often described as an isolated, unstable individual.
Intriguing. In the US media, many stories are written from a personal perspective, and if there isn’t a grievance, there typically is no story. The US First Amendment even uses the word “grievances”.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
