The blog is fake. Reasons: 1. The blogger's status was published 19 hours ago Haiyang因为流浪街头，无家可归，被狗咬，损失200枚金币 2. Zhu's photo on the front page was obviously a copy-paste from online report (probably Zhu's student ID photo) His real blog is on QQ zone Xin's friends established a page on facebook in memorial of her.

Are any Chinese "netizens" organizing a fund for the poor girl's family to cover all the funeral/travel/bureaucratic expenses, etc? Doubt it.

He must have liked Nirvana, let's blame them. Let's blame everything except for the murderer.

Zhu doesn't meet the requirements needed to be eligible for the death penalty in Virginia. Therefore life without parole will probably be the end result, or a long stretch in an institution for the criminally insane if his defense lawyers get lucky.

Yeah, this guy lost money. Well, guess what? So did virtually everyone vested in the market. Nearly, everyone lost A LOT of money. Zhu Haiyang committed the most vicious, perverse, and contemptible sort of crime, and there is no rationalizing or excusing it regardless of the POS's losses. Yes, every killer will have a rational and follow his/her own internal logic. But if you think this is purely related to money, you are gravely mistaken. Zhu Haiyang is a sick animal. It seems every time there is a heinous crime, "the neighbors" will come forward with statements suggesting that the alleged murderer was a "quiet and normal" individual, when in actuality, they have no idea who their neighbor really was and certainly missed the signals of his/her aberrance. Whatever the justice system does to Zhu, it cannot be enough and I have zero sympathy.

That's very unfair. You're damning a whole generation based on one tragic story. Get some perspective.

Wow, this generation is really weak compared to what their parents' and grandparents'. Look at what those people had to go through and they are the ones that brought China up.

His blog address and QQ were provided the first day of reporting by the American press so the Chinese netizen's shouldn't take too much credit for that.
