I have to say "WTF". =O.O= Why didn't they shoot him?

Shanghai: A man armed with just a knife yesterday killed five police officers in a frenzied attack in Shanghai.

Four other officers and a security guard are in hospital, one of them in a critical condition, after the solo attack caught them by surprise.

The man stormed into the office building of the Zhabei District Public Security Bureau and stabbed nine people yesterday morning.

He first lit a fire outside the gate of the bureau's office building at 578 Tianmu Road M. and knifed the security guard who tried to stop him.

The assailant then broke into the office about 9:40am, stabbing nine police officers inside, according to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.

The 28-year-old unemployed man, identified as Yang from Beijing, has confessed that it was a revenge attack, according to senior officers.

Yeah, but if he was a ninja, they wouldn't have even seen him, right? I mean, he would've swooped in, bop bam slice cut, and then be gone, right?

They didn't shoot him because they don't have guns.

LMAO. I read this title and thought, "What is this dude, a ninja?", only to find out this happened in Shanghai. Hilarious. :p

Countries with gun bans tend to have high rates of knife-related crime. If people want to kill people, they can and do find a way, no matter what we take from them.
