Axe attack at Brazilian pre-school leaves four children dead and five injured
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/05/brazil-pre-school-attack?ref=upstract.com

Sad to see this happen.  They crazy people don't need a gun and it don't just happen in the US.

Quote
Four children have been killed and at least five others injured after a 25-year-old man armed with a small axe attacked a pre-school in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina.

A man with a hatchet jumped over a wall and invaded a daycare center on Wednesday in Brazil, killing four children and wounding at least five others, authorities said.

The assailant turned himself in at a police station and did not appear to have any connection with the center, which offers nursery services, pre-school education and after-school activities. The dead were between the ages of five and seven, authorities said.

Quote
School attacks in Brazil have happened with greater frequency in recent years. Last week, a student in São Paulo fatally stabbed a teacher and wounded several others.

Brazil has seen at least one past attack on a daycare center. That attack also occurred in Santa Catarina state, in 2021, when an assailant used a dagger to kill three children under two years old and two adults.

Exactly. 9/11. OKC. Happy Land nightclub. Crazies will find a way.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Losers want to be remembered and/or get a message out.

Soft targets.  Too small and weak to fight back.

You don't hear about those crazy people.  ....unless those are just the Florida man stories.

See SpaceX thread.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams
