Nanjing Bus Driver Runs Down Cyclist And Drags Body 5 km

Nanjing local media reported an incident where an off-duty public bus driver Wang stole a bus from the bus company where he worked at and went out with the intention of killing someone. According to witnesses, Wang drove dangerously till he hit a cyclist riding on a motorized bicycle.

After hitting the cyclist, he continued driving for another five kilometres despite other drivers pulling alongside to yell for Wang to stop.

The reason for all this? When he was on duty driving the public bus, he closed the motorized door on a passenger boarding the bus and the passenger got caught between the doors. For that incident, he was scolded by his superior and he was unhappy at the ticking off and wanted to kill someone to take out his anger.

Having lived in China for several years, nothing surprises me any more. This is a sign of a society that has forgotten its Confucian roots and priciples. Fortunately, this incident provoked angry responses from the public. The question is: what will they and their government do about this after the anger has died down and the public debate has blown over.
