Unsure if sarcasm
Haha fuck yeah kinda see that aspect.
I was referring more to the states response to her great act.
It's complex I guess. There's a stereotype that doing a good deed in China usually ends up backfiring on the doer of the deed.
Here she died and was praised, but then, the backfire had already taken effect.
We could conclude from this that the only correct way for a Chinese citizen to do a good deed is to die in the process.
Then note that the praise could be not for doing the deed but for saving whatever other forces are at play from having to provide the backfire.
The hard part is determining the shades of truth of all the various aspects here.
A fashy coward attacks helpless woman and child over them being of another nationality, only to stab a courageos bystander of his own. Let him rot in hell for all years he stole from her and wanted to steal from others.
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.
If she's being honored then why does this look like a mug shot.
