37 people on the bus with him, and he only killed one? A tragedy, yes; but damn, it could have been worse.
Crazy guys armed with knives seem a lot less efficient. If he hadn’t gone that extra mile to behead his victim, would we even be hearing about this?
::eek:: Only nap lightly with one eye open!
Just think of riding a bus from Edmonton to Winnipeg in July. It’s surprising there aren’t more major freakouts on the Greyhounds.
:mad: 
No words. I have no words.
What do they mean, allegedly? The man was holding up the victim’s head! Did the head just separate from the body spontaneously? Whom do they think beheaded the guy–another maniac killer on the bus? The driver? The last one in the queue for the toilet? WTF?
Poor guy (the victim). Ghastly.
Holy crap is right! Wow. I take Greyhound buses relatively regularly, and although I’ve met some crazy characters, they have all proven to be pretty benign. But that guy - jeez.
But that’s because this was Greyhound. Its Trailways that has the slogan “See America”. :eek:
He’s just trying to get ahead…
Nobody appreciates a good puppet-show.
“Here comes Mr. Bill’s head…”
“Oh noes! He’s going to be Mean to me…!”
I’d like to trade in this first-class ticket to Hell for Greyhound economy seating. I just can’t risk Laguardia losing my luggage…
The talk now is of increased security for Greyhound. I don’t know about that - yeah, it’s probably a good idea to keep machetes off the bus, but I don’t know about the logistics of this idea.
Greyhound in Canada isn’t like the Greyhound down here. I was shocked to hear that this happened on a Canadian Greyhound. When I was a kid, 9-20, I travelled solo on the bus all the time between home and relatives. My how things have changed.
I’ll save you a seat…
Pretty small – I’d say no more than 1 in 10.
I read teh story when I got to work this moring. Whatthefuck? The other passengers slammed the bus door closed and all held it closed, the guy walked up with the victims head, dropped it, then decided to go back and keep gutting the guy.
Killer was 6’ and 200 lbs with a shaved head and was CALM the whole time he was carving up the guy! Sweet Jeebus! It’s like some f**ked up character form Full Metal Jacket or Jacob’s Ladder was just sitting quietly at the back and went all Hollywood-can’t-possibly--be-real-life psycho on the kid next to him.
They’re gonna say “allegedly” for legal reasons. If a news outlet asserts as fact something about a person that later turns out to be untrue, the news outlet is on the hook for defamation. So even in cases as clear-cut (sorry) as this, news outlets are still going to say “allegedly” to CYA legally.
Honestly, I love Canadians and consider Canada my second homeland, but there is such a thing as Canada Nice. I define it this way:
You’re on a very hot bus from Vancouver to the BC Ferry terminal. The driver is nice enough to offer to turn up the air conditioning — and the passengers are nice enough not to ask him to.
At least we have the peace of mind that if we ever find ourselves on a Greyhound through Canada and have to stab someone slowly to death, the other passengers won’t interfere.
I don’t know whether Canada Nice applies outside of buses. I hope not.
Either that or he was interested in necking.
Oh dear, now the bus seats are going to be sticky.
Garp, is that you?
‘He was so mean he once beheaded a man just for snoring too loud.’
So which one is more of a head-case?
Hey, look! A limo.
Solid, solid stuff.
“He didn’t happen to kill anyone else, did he?”
“Neigh.”
