From the looks of it, the perp was pretty busy slicing this guy up. There must have been something on that bus that someone could have grabbed and clocked this lunatic with.

Anybody hear the name of the “alleged” cannibal yet?

Witnesses named and interviewed, victim named, but who and where is the “alleged?”

Didja year about this one?

Only about 6 or 7 times in the last three days. At least two threads have been deleted.

This is support of terrorism by Canada (again).

Intriguing question, I agree. I am talking from a Dutch perspective, mind. Canadian law enforcers have already termed this horrific crime a ‘one-of-a-kind’ one and assured the population that the punishment will be extremely severe, no matter the state the perpetrator might have been in.
For me it is a grizzly kind of adding-up exercise, or: weighing the pros and ons. Yes, if one passenger would have had a permitted handgun he could probably have saved the victim’s life. On the other hand, there’s no way of denying that the right to bear arms (i.e.: a pistol or revolver) brings its own grave dangers with it, think of the tragedies that happened at U.S. high schools in recent years. They surely are linked to that right to bear arms.

So: I don’t really see a great advantage in widespread carrying of guns, because many people can go off the deep end by one of life’s many possible tragedies, and then go on a killing spree.

But at the same time I know that the American and European perspective on such matters differ hugely. So I’m open to comment and criticism.

the beheadings will continue until morale improves - or until Islam is stopped.

Had he cut the person’s head off because he was angry with liberals, more details about the case would be reported.

Anyone know who the killer is? I haven't seen a report regarding his identity.

Reminds me of politics - Sort of like what Obama is trying to do to the oil industry. And all the other industries will be running scared.

It’s sounding more and more like Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

I used to ride greyhound when I was in college. Is there any worse place to go that a bus station? whether it be the port authority in NY, or station outside of St.Louis, why on earth are bus stations in the worst parts of town?

Funny, I have had similar urges while watching Zorro! Guess it is the sword thing.

All deals with movie selection.

Wouldn’t have happened if Nemo was on :-)

A tough case. Probably a singularity of of a heinous crime.

Satan on the loose. NO other earthly way to explain the depths of this horror.

Prayers for the family of the young man...although they will need even more than that I fear.

A gun would have made no difference. I’ve seen several the interviews with passengers. The guy sitting in the seat in front of the victim, who yelled for everyone to get off the bus, said that the victim had been stabbed 50 to 60 times (and had his throat slashed) by the time he realized what was going on.

Yesterday, 4 students were killed by a gunman in Michigan. The killer picked them off, one by one. Earlier this week, two churchgoers were killed in Tennessee. Both states allow concealed weapons. So, why aren’t those people alive?
