More safe. Understand the difference
I heard about a mass stabbing event in Taipei today… but there are no news articles yet. Hope it is just a rumor..
Unfortunately not just a rumor, it’s all over the news and TV stations…
Yeah, plenty of videos on Threads now.
What I saw: A young man throwing smoke grenades in a MRT station area, then also throwing smoke grenades on a street. He was dressed in black with elbow and knee protectors. Then took out a 30 cm knife and went towards Eslite book store at Zhongshan randomly stabbing people. Unclear situation and a lot of passers by do not know what’s going on or how to react.
Posted this in the other thread. Unprecedented!

With tensions still high regarding the recent Taipei stabbing there’s been an update to this case from back in 2023 in which a student got her friend/classmate to come to go to another classroom and murder a student to death by stabbing him at school after she had gotten into in argument with a student.
2nd trial increased their sentences from 9 years for the stabber and 8 years for the instigator to 12 and 11 years respectively. Both were Jr. High school students at the time of the incident.
The victim’s parents protested the ruling in court on Tuesday, crying and voicing dissatisfaction, saying the sentences fell far short of their expectation of a 30-year term.
In a statement, the victim’s father said judges appeared focused solely on giving the perpetrators a chance to reform, recalling that one judge had even asked whether there was “a chance for the killers to show filial piety toward us” as a form of atonement.
“I can only say that if, after they are released from prison, they do not come back to take revenge on us, that would already be a blessing,” the father said.
