It is a strange statement near the end of the piece, and why it is made is stumping my brain.
"Olympics takes deadly turn for kin of US coach; Father-in-law is stabbed while touring China site" by Patricia Wen and Shira Springer, Globe Staff | August 10, 2008
BEIJING - China's rulers thought they had left nothing to chance.
Declaring security a top priority for the Olympics, they had deployed 100,000 antiterrorist police officers and soldiers. They installed some 300,000 surveillance cameras around the city. They even ordered the removal of the city's vagrants, homeless, and mentally ill.
Yet 12 hours after the spectacular opening ceremony, in an imperial tower just north of the Forbidden City, a 47-year-old unemployed Chinese man allegedly stabbed an American couple in town for the Olympics, and their Chinese guide.
The Drum Tower draws visitors from across the world, with its traditional alley-style hutong dwelling and quaint storefronts. Its name comes from its role in the 13th century; workers would beat drums every hour to mark the time. Yesterday, when police closed the tower, tourists were replaced by foreign journalists trying to pin down what happened. Gathering information from nearby shopkeepers and neighbors was not easy.
Many declined to talk, seemingly concerned about the extensive police presence and the watchful eye of neighborhood security volunteers.
Some questioned if the assailant's death was actually a suicide.
Why? I didn't, not at first.
Now I do, especially when the article never gets back to this point.
And the thought does enter my head (as it should yours, readers): ANOTHER LONE NUT?
One neighbor, who gave only his surname as Zhang, said he was deeply saddened by the attack, given that it took place just after China staged a glorious opening ceremony on Friday.
Yeah, and CUI BONO?
WHO wants China to look bad?
Who is threatening them with "Al-CIA-Duh" attacks?
By the way, I watched the ceremonies and they were one of the greatest sights I've ever beheld!
Though he had no first-hand knowledge of what happened, Zhang said he heard the attacker jumped to this death, and probably had "psychological problems."
The LONE NUT, ANTHRAX GUY, too!!!!
Now I am REALLY STARTING TO WONDER, especially since reports were this guy showed no signs of such!!!!
US and Chinese officials were investigating the case, though they say preliminary evidence indicates it was a random attack by a lone assailant.
Yeah, well, there are TOO MANY OF THEM for MY TASTES THESE DAYS!!!
Yup, "suiciders" and "lone nuts" sure make it EASY for GOVERNMENTS, don't they?
And CUI BONO?
