Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It's China, they're definitely killing him.
And that's bad, to be clear, but still.
Not trying to get too into morality but I don't think it's bad.
He killed someone, we 1000% know he did that no question about it. A fully just removal of someone awful from our society I support that
Every one of these cases is a failure of a society as a whole, may it big or small. Maybe it's an edge case, or a person with a mental condition whose actions we missed a chance to counteract in time. But from what I hear I can assume chinese propaganda encourages nationalistic feelings and some kind of a new chinese identity to keep their social fabric intact and productive, patriotic, and it seems that this person may as well be a byproduct of that. They have a personal responsibility for what they did, but killing them off wouldn't bring the dead woman back. He is a man, not a rabid dog, and just killing him doesn't solve anything but saving taxes, maybe. The goal is to start undoing the same corruption in others, and killing them cold is not encouraging for them to be open to be healed.
The same applies to why mentally ill persons don't self-report before they slip, do something and get caught in most countries.
I mean, it's punishment, which is better than what we've got here in the US
Both capital punishment and waving 25 years off are extremes not worth picking, imho. In a somehow sane world the latter would land Abbot's ass himself in the court.
