Taking it out on innocent victims

The man who attacked Grand National Party chairwoman Park Geun-hye with a utility knife on Sunday stands amid the troubled circumstances of his upbringing.

The police say they believe he was motivated by "anger at society."

Politicians and certain members of the media are busy running around, engaging in political agitation, as if they, too, are taking out their frustration on an innocent public. Seeing what they are up to, the man asks if they, too, are angry at society.
