Chinese man kills U.S. tourist in Beijing
Advertisements [?]Source: MSNBC
BEIJING - A Chinese man attacked two American tourists in Beijing on Saturday, killing one of them and injuring another before committing suicide, officials said.
A spokesman for the Beijing Municipal Government said the attack happened in downtown Beijing at noon on Saturday. Officials issued a statement saying the 47-year-old attacker, Tang Yongming, also injured an American woman and her Chinese tourist guide.
The attack took place on the second level of the Drum Tower, a popular tourist attraction in north Beijing. Tang later jumped to his death from the ancient monument used to tell time centuries ago.

1. of course it could have just been random...
but, they foster such distrust of us (beware the internets!) that one has to wonder the reason... hopefully there'll something they can find out before this is brushed aside. Wonder if B*sh will hot tail it out of there? He's at a beach? Oh brother, please, NO pics folks, PLEASE!

25. Like Bush gives a shit...
about an average American citizen. Unless it was a well connected republican, he won't give a shit. Oh sure, he'll say something moronic, you can pretty much count on that (happens every time he opens his pretzel hole). But in the end, this is the man who has sent over 4000 Americans to die for his own agenda in an illegal war, so one more average Joe won't mean shit to him, even if he says it does.
No matter what the issue, it always turns into a IHATEB*SH thread.

7. Don't forget that our very own right wing lunatic..
Eric Rudolph tried to murder hundreds with a bomb during the Atlanta Olympics.
It would be a little hypocritical for use to overreact.
Of course, Amerikans did it first!!!

If we were displacing people here like China was. I can't be sure that was the cause, but China is all the things George Bush wishes for America, he's not over there for nothing. As far as human rights go China is despicable as you can get. I've judged China before this happened, this is probably just a symptom to their sick treatment of human beings. All hail McDonalds, mf'ers!
and yet, in November we are having a free election...hmmm...

41. that's sad he sounded so caring
what a lot of people don't understand is that B*sh has made us hated around the world so much that things like this will happen, even in China where violence is low. Could you imagine the risk of death in Egypt, or Jordan?
It is low in China because the people are totally oppressed. In Egypt or Jordan, it would be ****ing islamic fundamentalists who try to kill you.
thought I would point that out.
