Quote:
WASHINGTON - A female Chinese graduate student was decapitated by a fellow student in a campus cafe at Virginia Tech, the scene of the worst school shooting in US history in 2007, police said Thursday.

At approximately 7:00 pm Wednesday, Xin Yang, a 22-year-old graduate student from Beijing, was killed at an Au Bon Pain cafe on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, university officials said.

They added that emergency contact records suggest that Yang and the student who murdered her, Haiyang Zhu from Ningbo, China, knew each other. According to officials, witnesses said Zhu, 25, attacked Yang with a knife.

In a copy of a police affidavit published by the Collegiate Times, the officer said that when she arrived at the scene she found Zhu holding Yang's head in his hand.


So, what's with Chinese immigrants chopping people's heads off and holding them up as a trophy afterwards?

How unoriginal. Maybe he thought she was an immortal.

There can be only one.

It's really really strange to be beheaded. I almost can't believe it. How much bone he would have to cleave through? I imagine it would take at 9-10 chops to completely dismember the head. People just watched this?

How could they not hear the screams? F-ed up in every way.

Are you referring to that greyhound incident in Canada?

I'm guessing that when you some some dude lopping off a head, a la OJ, Greyhound dude, Highlander, and VT, you say to yourself, bad for her, but I think I might want to be going somewhere else.

I feel sorry for the family. This shouldn't have happened.

Also, I feel sorry for the school and its staff. This is the 2nd incident at the school, and who in their right mind would want to study there now?

Must be the fault of all the zombie movies. Take their heads off they are always saying.

Why is there so many zombie movies?

Funny, that you bring up zombie movies.
I just finished watching Aftermath, after all the humans disappear, which is a kind of docu exploration in Earth nature after all humans simply disappear, all I could think of was, 'When are the zombies going to come out?' Everypart I saw was like, man there are going to be zombies getting those packs of dogs, or, the dogs are going to turn into zombies. It's really nuts how Hollywood affects our brains. I mean, I think movies often enter our thoughts so much that it takes us really far, far away from reality.

PS: About the actual incident: It can happen anywhere. It has happened in NZ a couple of times. Chinese students kidnap someone then no ransom is paid, something goes wrong, dismemberment is quite common.
Truly.
It doesn't make international news ..

It turned out this young Chinese guy wanted to date his victim but was turned down by her.

It is said the girl managed to enter VT with the great help from Haiyang Zhu, that is why he might felt fooled and cheated after she came and changed her attitude to him.
