Erk. (Updated)

Well, this was unexpected.

Apparently a knife-wielding Chinese person killed an American at the Drum Tower (a tourist landmark near very touristy areas) and wounded one other, also wounding their Chinese tour guide. They were relatives of a U.S. Men's Volleyball coach, but had nothing identifying them as either Olympics visitors or Americans. This is rare in China, as the article points out, but I'm wondering if we won't see some more attacks like this as a sort of subconscious rage in the Chinese people finds an outlet. Still, I doubt it, but I'll certainly be cautious.

I hope we'll find out more about this, but, since it is China, I wouldn't be expecting anything.
