It’s heartbreaking to hear about this kind of violence, especially when innocent children are involved

But honestly, this is what happens when people are disarmed and left powerless. In a place like China, where personal freedoms are so restricted, people don’t have the means to protect themselves or prevent these kinds of attacks. If the government wasn’t so authoritarian, maybe everyday citizens could take matters into their own hands and stop these incidents before they escalate. More freedom and less government control would go a long way toward creating a safer society. You can’t rely on the state to protect everyone all the time.
