To be honest I’m scared. I live in Illinois. On Halloween a creepy white van circled around my neighborhood. So I ran home. Also I was at a hotel with my little sister. So this creepy guy started whistling at us and we turned around my mom was standing behind him but he didn’t know and she was signing “go” so we ran. Then once we walked to the car alone. All his friends across the street started yelling. So my uncle started chasing him. The owner of the hotel stayed at the car with us and asked “are you kids ok?

The problem is, lots of activists now say that it’s “shaming” when you advise young women to take care of themselves and say that “we should educate men not to attack women” As if anyone is educating men to do that. It’s so they can claim it’s the fault of ALL men - like we have a culture behind women’s back that we want to hurt them (madness) You can’t educate rapists not to rape. They know it’s wrong. That’s WHY they do it. It’s like trying to educate a thief not to steal. Much better to educate women (and men) of potential realities which are unpleasant but it’s the way it is.

You have to understand that some communities are made differently. Usually this is true and it's an obvious rule that I agree with but some communities really don't care about these things. Of course this is double edged because not everyone is trust worthy and is a 'decent person'. For instance in north america, canada and the us, there's a huge issue with letting kids go out and being by themselves and walking home but in places like japan you have kids taking subways or just walking many miles do errands. The reason why this was possible is because of the communities trust in each other. Go figure, lower crime rates. China is not different but not as great as Japan. They also have low crime rate and communal trust in each other compared to the US. So I agree with what you're saying but its not always the right answer because some places are just different. 😅

Knives are bad idea, they usually get turned on you. Carry pepper spray or rape alarm and try to avoid any risky situations to begin with.

Perhaps Yingying was his first kill ever and that was why he struggled with her so much and why he didn't cover his tracks better. It may seem strange but killers and serial killers alike have lied and embellished their body counts.

I wouldn’t usually support either China or the death penalty, however I’ll make an exception in this case

[@scharlachnachtfalter1900]

In China, death penalty is carried out by a bullet to the heart. And yes, if the same thing happened in China the offender would in no doubt be put to death, and that is what people believe is justice there. Because to our culture, justice means equal retribution, it doesn't concern about the rehabilitation of criminal who committed crime of certain severity.

[@lilitheden748]

Scharlach Nachtfalter I didn’t know they executed perpetrators in China with a bullet through the heart. That would be a firing squad or someone who personally executes the punishment? Anyway they don’t have to support a killer with the people’s tax money.

[@ssubaihi]

if this happened in KSA , The SWORD is waiting for him

[@lilitheden748]

Suhail Abdulaziz yes, I heard that SA is a very safe country. My husband used to work there as an ex pat for a Telecom firm. He was amazed by the low criminality. He told me that you can literally leave you phone and keys on a table and go in the restaurant to order your meal . Nobody in his right mind would even think about stealing your stuff. Also he had the best roasted chicken ever in SA.

"I mean I just graduated, so I'm looking for jobs right now. So I was either playing video games or sleeping." Something about these two statements right after one another makes me laugh.

[@FMA4ever123]

yeah but do keep in mind that they flew in from China and that all their english I would assume is learned outside of the West.

[@windwoman3549]

I was impressed with his English, actually. Asian languages have NOTHING to do with Romance (Latin-based) languages so anyone from the Far East who can grasp English is amazing. English is one of the hardest languages to learn because it’s irregular - with a thousand grammatical exceptions, slang, colloquialisms, words drawn from disparate countries, etc.

Archangel Azrael Some don’t recognize trouble right away. Dude probably didn’t show any signs and I mean, coming in to another country as a foreigner trying to get your way to somewhere and not really knowing a lot of people well and their actions can make someone naive. Regardless, she seemed like a sweet person full of dreams and such. There shouldn’t be any blame on her getting killed as this is unfortunately something that does happen. Either way you scratch your views and such, it’s a fucked case and she really didn’t deserve getting killed like that. It’s a damn shame and all she was trying to do was to go to a university.

I have been following this story from the beginning, you did a great job on this one!

[@whocares269]

I seen JCS video on this guy's interview just a few weeks ago and I think I'll be watching it again after this. Really appreciate the extra context i get from you about the crimes and your detail into yingyings life instead of only her death like most other KZbinrs. Love your channel Mike, you tow the line perfectly between staying respectful of the victims while being informative about the crimes, yet still have enough of that informal vibe to your channel to be able to step back and see how fucked the things some people do can be! Please keep up the good work, looking forward to your next video already!
