Dancing provokes 鈥榞unman鈥
Print Edition
A man was detained for shooting and injuring a woman with an air rifle in an angry protest against loud public dance music.
Group dancing in public spaces is popular among middle-aged and elderly Chinese women. However, the dancing and accompanying music often trigger complaints, and sometimes even violent reactions, from nearby residents.
The man from Yangshuo County, in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said he was upset on the evening of March 3 by the noisy group of women dancing near his house. Becoming outraged when they mocked his request to turn down the volume, he fired three shots in their direction with an air rifle. He told police he was aiming at a stereo speaker but accidentally shot a woman who was beside it.
He was detained for endangering public safety, according to the public security bureau of Yangshuo. He may also face charges for owning firearms.
Violent confrontations between dancers and residents are on the rise. In 2014, a man in Beijing was so annoyed by a group of dancing women that he fired a shotgun in the air and unleashed three Tibetan mastiffs to scare them away.
