"When we came back on the bus, it was visible at the end of the bus he was cutting the guy's head off and pretty much gutting him up," said Caton.

Well, thats one reason to not use Canadian buses anymore.

[Brehvolution]

I would blame Molson XXX.

[Flannel Boy]

Manitoba?

This is the province I'm moving to.  

[Bocsius]

Stupid canucks.

[Flannel Boy]

Manitoba has the second highest crime rate in Canada, only behind Father Mike's shitty province.

[Ganhyun]

According to the story, the victim was a young kid asleep listening to his mp3/cd player. The man just went psycho and stabbed him 50-60 times. Everyone ran off the bus and three guys tried to go back on to check o nthe victim and the guy tried to get at them too.

The attacker ran at them, Caton said, and they ran out of the bus, holding the door shut as he tried to slash at the trio.

When the attacker tried to drive the bus away, the driver disabled the vehicle, Caton said.

"While we were watching the door, he calmly walks up to the front with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in front of us," said Caton.

"They did an awesome thing, holding him in there, because if not, what would have happened?" said Olmstead.

Imagine if he had been able to get off the bus.... or drive it away....

Fuck that's chilling

Would you try to stop a guy wildly swinging a hunting knife in the narrow confines of a bus?

I've jumped into my share of dumb fights. Granted that I was usually drunk and/or one of the trouble makers, but you'd think someone would have some form of weapon with them.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[duckman2000]

At least in the US, he would have simply shot the guy. And then decapitated him with a shotgun.

[Ganhyun]

OMG, already people defending the guy on the comments on the news site. Then it turned into an argument of pro vs anti capital punishment people.

You are a tough one altogetherandrews. 

[Ganhyun]

I think the only way I get involved is if I had a gun or a bigger knife. Preferably short sword sized if its a knife. That way if he comes at me i have the reach on him. But the gun would be easier and quicker.

[siamesedreamer]

WOW

[muckhole]

Read about it this morning. Pretty crazy stuff. I'll be curious to see if there was any kind of motive, or just somebody completely off their rocker.

[Madrun Badrun]

My grandma told me about this today.  She blamed drugs.   

Anyways here is what I think happened.  The victim probably had a neckbeard.  The killer, annoyed with this grotesque sight tried to shave it off while the victim was a sleep.  Some other passenger sees the knife and gives a shout which of course causes things to get out of control. Maybe as people are fleeing some one runs into the killer causing his knife to go into the victims chest.  Obviously the killer is a child of the internet, as show by his neckbeard hatred.  Maybe he realized things weren't good and decided to go out in a blaze of glory, like we all say we would do in our posts.  Moral of the story:  Malek shave before you go out there. 

[Madrun Badrun]

You'd have lost your head with the rest of them.

Well, drunk at least. I used to be pretty big on getting into stupid fights, including ones on buses. But I guess a beheading is a bit different than young adults engaging in consensual fights. Reading the whole article, I suppose some restraint makes sense. Still, it's weird that there weren't more weapons on the bus.

Where is Manitoba anyway?

Guns are good news, basically.

In the middle of nowhere.

And if the nutter had had a gun instead of a knife?

[duckman2000]

The victim would have died faster. And then The Predator would have intervened.

Stop fucking up my convenient arguments.

[bagofeyes]

The attacker should have had a gun and the other passengers rockets

This. Or maybe give them Overshields and Shotguns.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Shotguns are banned on the Bus map.

[ShogunOfFear]

B b b but don't guns kill people?

[The Fake Shemp]

 

[Ganhyun]

Shotguns are banned on the Bus map.

My complaints on that need to go to gaming.

Fine then, if Shottys are banned, Maulers.

Thanks for the update. I'd planned to do that after lunch but you beat me to it.

[Powerslave]

Getting beheaded is one the worst things I can imagine.

[duckman2000]

I forget the specifics, but I could have sworn I once read something about the head staying alive several minutes after a beheading.

[duckman2000]

Presumably, this guy was dead before the actual beheading though. 60 something stabs with a Rambo style knife will do that. Scary shit.

[Ganhyun]

I'm pretty sure 50-60 stabs with a rambo knife takes out all major vital organs. So he basically mutilated the body on purpose after killing him.

The scary part is that he was calm and composed the whole time. At least according to the witnesses.

[Flannel Boy]

This is one of the most frightening news stories I've read in some time. And the kid was only 125 pounds.

The suspect looks like he was beat up.

He was, and I'm all fucking for it.

that the guy was walking around is scary too.


I agree with you though. I'd have tased him all night long.

[Mupepe]

I agree with you though. I'd have tapped it all night long.

How did the driver disable the bus?

Not sure.

Hmm.... nah, knife wielding psychos aint my type

but  at your edit.

[Cormacaroni]

Chilling stuff. I'm not superstitious in the least but this sounds like demonic possession. How does someone go from completely calm, to stabbing and beheading a sleeping stranger, to totally calm again so quickly? Split personality?

The guy was asian so I'm guessing a colossal hate against otaku.

you sure about that?

[laesperanzapaz]

some important physics or chemistry scientist who was french, conducted an experiment

way back during French revolution

he was sentenced to be beheaded,
and he told his friends he would blink for as long as possible after being cut.  he told them to count how many times we would blink after being beheaded

the number's like 20 or something.  not too long, but still creapy


also, this episode in manitoba: it's pretty out there, but i'm not surprised these things happen.  i think it's  a combination fo pyshological disposition and environmental influences [i.e. what you expereinced throughout the sum of your life]

Brampton, which is about thirty minutes away from me, is a pretty shitty suburb outside of Toronto.

[muckhole]

Couple of hours away from me, as well. I'll fire up the BBQ.

[Beezy]

I'll bring the buns.

[Himu]

I used to travel on this exact bus all the time.

Basically, the hospital system/government agencies in Canada will often put mental patients/mentally unstable/ex-convicts on buses to move them from place to place.  It's little wonder it doesn't happen more often.

This poor kid, who was from the next town over from mine, more or less, made the all-too-common mistake of trusting his fellow passengers on that bus. 

Really? That's interesting. I haven't checked for any updates this morning, but I've been curious about the killer, if he just flat-out snapped, or if he had any history of mental illness. The news (at least what I've seen of it) has been suprisingly light on digging up any details on him so far, aside from his name.

[muckhole]

Oddly enough, it looks like he was.

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/08/01/stabbing-victim.html

The man accused of stabbing a young Winnipeg man aboard a Greyhound bus delivered newspapers for several Edmonton publications and had worked at McDonald's, according to one of his employers.

Vince Weiguang Li, 40, worked for a contractor delivering the Edmonton Journal, the National Post and the Edmonton Sun, his boss Vincent Augert told CBC News Friday.

"I'm still kind of shocked and surprised, to be honest with you. He just never came across as the type of person that could do something like that. He was a nice guy," Augert said.

"He was there every day, he did a good job, was friendly and really, we had no problems with this individual at all."

Li worked for the distribution company for about 13 months, but left in April for a short period before returning to the job in June. The Edmonton man also worked at a McDonald's restaurant, according to Augert.

RCMP announced Friday morning that they had charged Li with second-degree murder. Police said he has no previous criminal record.
