One thing baffles me.  If parents knew (there is security camera footage) that their child was run over several times because some asshole made a RATIONAL choice; and then said parents hired a bunch of guys to disappear the asshole, suddenly the expected penalty would change, and so would the rational choice.  (There probably wouldn&#x27;t be much of an investigation, either.)  So why aren&#x27;t they doing it?  If the government can&#x27;t&#x2F;won&#x27;t set the proper incentives for the assholes not to murder, why can&#x27;t the people do it themselves?  Desperate times call for desperate measures...<p>ADDENDUM: admittedly my comment above is emotional.  Obviously not every accident ends in the driver running over the victim several times.  But from the article and from some of the comments, I got an impression that these cases are not THAT unusual, and it&#x27;s not just a case of a Western newspaper publishing a sensationalist Sinophobic article.
