A court in China has sentenced a man to death for killing 35 people last month by driving into a crowd, in an attack that raised national concern about mass killings.

Fan Weiqiu was venting his anger because he was unhappy with his divorce settlement, the court in the southern city of Zhuhai said in handing down the sentence on Friday. The victims were exercising at a sports centre at the time of the attack. Fan pleaded guilty to endangering public safety by dangerous means, a court statement said.

Yes I'm paid to cover up the magic number thirty five that those sneaky Chinese use to hide numbers. You caught me you dastardly western intelligentsia.

Yeah, I rest my case.

When is your shift over?

It's like saying anything positive about Mexico to a generic American. Anyway you racists have a great life.

You're going to need to update your talking points. These ones aren't cutting it.
