BRANDON, Man. - Thirty-six passengers on a Greyhound bus watched in horror Wednesday night as a fellow passenger stabbed a man sleeping next to him, decapitated him and began waving around the man's severed head.


(snip)


Caton described the man who attacked the passenger as about six feet tall, 200 pounds, with a bald head and wearing sunglasses. He seemed oblivious to others when the stabbing occurred, said Caton.


Caton said he was struck by how calm the man was. He just walked up to the front of the bus and dropped the head, Caton said.


Caton said the victim boarded in Edmonton, was Aboriginal in appearance, was wearing hip-hop clothing and appeared to be around 20 years of age.


"When we saw the head, we knew he was dead," he said. "I don't think the guy knew him at all. I think he was really crazy . . . the poor guy, he didn't see it coming."

"When we saw the head, we knew he was dead," he said.

Seeing a severed head wouldtend to be a rather strong a priori assumption that a death has occurred.Edited by: Don Wassall

How did the old slogan go? "Take Greyhound and leave the driving to us." Gas could skyrocket to $20.00 per gallon, and I still wouldn't ride these diversfied lunatic asylums on wheels.

Just walking through or sitting in a Greyhound bus station is a roll of the dice in many cities.

It's not far from the truth. Besides the average casino tour bus I am leery of taking public buses(especially through the US). If it's not a dreg of society sitting beside you, it could be the guy who doesn't believe in personal hygiene in the middle of summer heat wave....

 

[White Shogun]

No one with a gun on board either, I assume. Amazing how a bunch of people can watch a guy saw off someone's head and do nothing.

Like the way they described the victim as 'Aboriginal' in appearance. WTF does that mean? LOL

I was thinking the same thing, Shogun. What a spineless sheeple we have become.

 

[devans]

I just looked up what people are considered aboriginal in Mannitoba, and these are...


The Assiniboine
The Chipewyan (Dene)
The Cree
The Dakota Sioux
The Ojibway


Native Americans.

That story is hard to believe, sure it isn't from the Onion? Cutting a head off is very messy with the jugular veins and all. And using a knife would be hard, what with the thick neck muscles and the wide bones of the spinal cord. It's always been tough for me that's for sure so I bet this guy has previous experience.

He is probably Metis(Mestizo in French) or nominally aboriginal. The guy appeared Eurasian looking. As for the stabber he appeared to be Chinese. The stabber is either an ex-military guy or a butcher of some sort. Did anybody read the latest details of the case? It appears the whack job ate parts of the victim.......

Why waste the meat?

Seriously though, if he's a guy who would cut off a head on a crowded bus is eating it really that much weirder?

And BTW this is ANOTHER arguement in favor of automobiles over public transportation!!

From China

A man who witnesses said stabbed, beheaded and cannibalized a fellow traveler on a Greyhound bus immigrated to Canada from China four years ago and worked for a time as a church custodian, the pastor who employed him said.

 

[Deacon]

That same church said they will support the killer and his wife. Forget the victim, he means nothing.

 

[screamingeagle]

My first immpression was that the killer was a moslem or a moslem convert. Who else beheads people? Anyone know?

 

[white is right]

Chinese Muslims aren't ethnic Han(as far as I know). Many look Eurasian looking and are from border areas with India and Pakistan and the old Soviet Union. He has military training as he would have served in the PRA as a conscript in the late 80's. Anyway he is a whackadoo. In court he was heard begging to be killed. If the bus had crossed the US border his wishes could be granted.......

 

[white is right]

That same church said they will support the killer and his wife. Forget the victim, he means nothing.

Support his wife, distance yourself from the whackadoo. Maybe offer prayers for his soul. That's about all I could publicly offer that psycho.
