Customers at an Internet cafe in Shanghai allegedly stabbed to death two employees after an argument over computer usage, local newspapers reported Monday.
The fight broke out around 1 a.m. local time on Sunday after a cafe employee told several customers they would have to buy membership cards if they wanted to stay overnight. Such venues often offer lower nighttime access rates to cater to computer game enthusiasts.
Another employee attempted to mediate the dispute, but about 10 men drew knives and chased the pair into a bathroom where they stabbed them to death, the reports said.
Chinese critics have repeatedly attacked Internet cafes for providing access to websites focused on pornography, gambling and criticism of the Communist party, as well as being havens for school dropouts and young people addicted to online games.
Thousands of cafes were closed and rules were tightened after a pair of teenagers set fire to an Internet cafe in Beijing in June 2002 after a fight with managers. Twenty-five people were killed in the blaze, many of them college students.

That's what it all boils down to. Make it appear to the country that Internet Cafe's are evil, no matter the cost. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Chinese gov't was behind it. They can't stand free speech.
They're not "evil", they just need more regulations, especially when it comes to students.
This is not something that I've made up. I've visited relatives in China recently and I saw this myself, plus, it's common knowledge among the people that I visited.
So is this all you do is just post insults to others comments? Does this somehow you make your insult any better than them?
"Right lads, get the blood off ur hands and we can get back to playing Diablo and looking at porn until the police come and put is in jail for life... man im gonna kick ur ass with my lvl20 fireball spell booyahh! I rule."
Can anyone say retards? these people are whats wrong with society.
That's the beauty of sensationalism.
DOUBLE KILL!!!
MASSACRE!!!

If people just used ther hands to kill would you put a ban on hands. If you did people would use feet. I can kill someone with glass so we better ban glass. It just comes down to people
