I stumbled upon this and found the irony interesting. It's not the first knife attack in China of course. RIP to the children who fell victim. As a new parent a very, very protective side to all little ones has made an appearance in my personality.

If you Google attacks like these you'll be shocked to see how often it happens over there and how much higher the death toll sometimes is. In Taiwan they use military recruits to guards school because of this type of phenomenon.

There was an attack a while back where the attacker used a meat cleaver on kindergarten students. Scary stuff.
