      I remember when London was having Isis van attacks. One attack was on an almost empty street at like 2 o’clock on a Tuesday.

      I said at the time we’re lucky they’re fucking idiots. If they’d done that at lunch time or rush hour could have been 100s injured or killed easy

      Perhaps there are levels of crowding in China that are unlike anything I see on a daily basis. This could be part of it.

      The knife attack killed 8 and injured 17 more. A physically capable person going nuts in a dense crowd… it’s conceivable.

      But you’re right these are tragic figures.

    Is there an equivalent to money laundering related to bodies? Murder people and then “hide” the bodies in a real accident?
