Drunken Tractor Driver Kills 17 in China Rampage
http://www.aolnews.com/world/article...-li-xianliang-
kills-17-in-china-rampage/19578739 (Aug. 3) -- Funerals are being held in northern China today for 17 people killed by a drunken tractor driver who first ran over his boss at a coal depot, then plowed through a nearby village, bulldozing shops and homes with residents still inside. Local officials say Li Xianliang, 38, began his murderous rampage on Sunday after arguing with his supervisor over money while both were drinking, The Associated Press reported. Some Chinese media, as well as the BBC, said the first person killed was not Li's boss but rather a client at the coal depot who was attacked in a case of mistaken identity. Then Li allegedly drove his bucket loader down a nearby village road in Yuanshi County, tearing through buildings and crushing more than 40 cars, the Beijing News network reported. In some cases, he used the vehicle's mechanical digger arm to flip over the cars and then backed up and crushed them with its wheels, the AP reported, adding that the youngest victim was just 5 years old. Desperate villagers tried to stop the vehicle, jumping up and clinging to its sides. One person got close enough to stab Li several times with a kitchen knife. "He came down [from the vehicle] and said, 'I'm a dead man anyway! I'm dead anyway,'" villager Wang Xinjiang told the AP while speaking about his efforts to stop Li. Police detained the suspect after an hourlong standoff in a nearby field and will likely press for the death penalty on conviction. Li's motive was unknown. Li's rampage in China's northern Hebei province is the latest in a series of violent attacks on random bystanders in China, most of which have been blamed on mental illness or personal grudges, and highlight the country's lack of social services for such people. Schools across China went on lock-down earlier this spring after a string of brutal stabbings left dozens of innocent schoolchildren dead. Sunday's attack took place near where a similar incident occurred earlier this year. Ten people were killed in February when a crazed bus driver plowed into pedestrians and cyclists in the Tianjin municipality after he allegedly stabbed a co-worker, the Shanghai Daily reported. |

Obviously somebody thinks that any kind of heavy duty machinery used in the building trade is the equivelant of a tractor-trailer as seen on the road. A bucket loader sure as hell won't be on any road in the USA unless it's on a trailer. |
