A Canadian man who was found not guilty for the beheading and cannibalizing of a Greyhound bus passenger due to mental illness has been set free. Manitoba’s Criminal Code Review Board announced that it gave Will Baker, formerly known as Vince Li, an absolute discharge Friday, meaning he is no longer subject to any conditions or monitoring, the Associated Press reported.

The board “is of the opinion that the weight of evidence does not substantiate that Mr. Baker poses a significant threat to the safety of the public,” according to the decision.

Baker’s doctor, Jeffrey Waldman, told the board he was confident Baker would continue to take his medication and work with the treatment team.

"A Canadian man who was found not guilty for the beheading and cannibalizing of a Greyhound bus passenger due to mental illness has been set free. Baker, a diagnosed schizophrenic, killed a young carnival worker named Tim McLean in 2008. In 2009, he was found not guilty due to mental illness."

"Baker said he heard the voice of God telling him to kill the man or “die immediately.” Manitoba’s Criminal Code Review Board announced that it gave Will Baker, formerly known as Vince Li, an absolute discharge Friday, meaning he is no longer subject to any conditions or monitoring."

I see he has already changed his name from "Vince Li," to "Will Baker." Nobody is going to be looking for "Will Baker," the beheading cannibal. The article says Baker/Li was told by god to kill/eat the victim. I wonder which "god?" Here is the victim:

Any bets on the schizophrenic going off his meds within three years and repeating his episode?

The drugs will probably only make it worse.

I see a huge payoff for the next victim's family here. Lawyers are probably going to have him tailed hoping he has another episode.

I worked with a guy whose 20-year old daughter was a schizophrenic under heavy med control. She was more than capable of going into rage and fits when no meds were the solution. I admit...it’s simply doping them up enough that they aren’t capable of doing much of anything. But no one wants to put these folks into a facility or permanent care operation.

I’m sure it seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

'Cannibal Cop's' wife takes the stand as horrific details of former NYPD officer's twisted bondage fetish emerge in first day of trial

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS — February 26, 2013

Kathleen Mangan-Valle — the first witness in the kidnapping conspiracy trial against her husband of under a year — said she had downloaded spyware on her computer because she was concerned about how “weird” he’d been acting. What she found was worse than her darkest nightmares.

Choking back tears, she said she started looking through some of the “thousands” of emails he’d been getting through a secret email account.

“All of a sudden, I’m seeing pictures of me, pictures of our friends,” she testified.

“I was supposed to be tied by my feet, my throat slit, and they were going to watch the blood rush from my body,” she said.

One of Valle’s perv pals wrote, “If she cries out, don’t show her mercy.”

The distraught mother sobbed, “Gil said, ‘Don’t worry. We’ll gag her.’”

There also were photos of Mangan-Valle’s friends.

One would be stuffed in a suitcase and delivered “for rape and murder.” Another two were “going to be raped in front of each other to heighten their fears.” And another was to be roasted alive over an open fire, she said.

“The suffering was for his enjoyment, and he wanted to make it last as long as possible,” said Mangan-Valle. ...”

Having had a very close family member with schizophrenia, I can honestly say with 100% assurance that I believe that some (not all cases) are definitely connected to demonic oppression and demonic attack.

It sounds to me like the government is telling “John Q. Public” to take the law into their own hands.

That’s a very disturbing read.

Thank heavens he was caught before acting on his plans.

People often wonder why in these modern times we need firearms and the such. My answer is seen in that article. There is more evil afoot now than anytime before in history.

His name change to Baker suggests that he is committed to abstaining from raw human flesh.

Well, it’s a start...

Hope this doesn’t stop any of the mooslimes or liberals fleeing to Canada because Trump scares them. I wouldn’t want them to think the Canadian government is nuts.

So-called Cannibal Cop Gilberto Valle to stay free: Judges uphold his 2014 acquittal

In an opinion issued Thursday morning, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of appeals upheld disgraced former NYPD officer Valle’s acquittal of charges that he conspired to kidnap, kill, and eat women.

Valle was convicted of the kidnapping conspiracy in March 2013 after prosecutors revealed blood-curdling chatroom discussions where he talked about his creepy cannibalism fetish.

A Manhattan federal judge overturned the guilty verdict in July 2014 - saying that Valle’s plot was just a fantasy.

Prosecutors appealed, but on Thursday, two of three judges reviewing the case upheld the acquittal, saying Valle’s fantasies did not cross the line into criminal intent. ...”

I know how one can be guilty by reason of insanity, but not guilty?... he did the crime?

____________

This must be changed from not guilty by reason of insanity to GUILTY BUT INSANE.

Frankly there are lots of severely mentally ill people out there and only a very small percentage lose themselves enough to maim or kill. And if they lose to that degree, they will most likely lose to that degree again. Fact of life.

So a murderer who is insane needs to be treated like a murderer who is not insane. Do not consider rehabilitation, do not consider them “fixed.” Consider them a person, who when insane, kills.
