South Korea’s ‘Don’t Ask Why’ Stabbings Prompt New Debate on Criminal Punishment
A string of random stabbings in South Korea has inspired online threats of copycat attacks and unnerved the country of 52 million, pushing officials to consider adding new criminal punishments such as life imprisonment without parole. Lawmakers and local media have referred to the knife-wielding incidents as “Don’t Ask Why" crimes, given the lack of clear motives behind the violence and indiscriminate victim targeting. South Korea, where strict firearm laws block nearly all civilians from gun ownership, had recently reported a decade-low level of crime, with its murder rate dropping to 1.3 homicides per 100,000 people, according to the latest government data.

Mobile restriction in, er, restricted China
