A young man beheaded in a savage knife attack on a Canadian cross-country bus has been identified by friends as a "bubbly" 22-year-old man.

Canadian police have not yet formally confirmed the victim's identity, but friends paid tribute on Facebook and in e-mails to Canadian media.

One told broadcaster CBC that Tim McLean, the presumed victim, was loved by many and called him a "ladies man".

Police have charged a 40-year-old man with second-degree murder.

Vince Weiguang Li, 40, of Edmonton, is now scheduled to appear at court in Manitoba.

Just means it wasn’t premeditated, and there’s no indication at this point that it was.

I read the account of what happened and it almost made me throw up....what has this world come to? Poor kid gets on a bus and winds up beheaded. What a terrible thing for his parents to have to live with.....
Shoot the SOB and save the court system the time

The accused also ate parts of the victim...according listeners on a police scanner.

I don't believe it wasn't premeditated. The average person doesn't carry a knife large enough to do the job. The decision to bring one that big was premeditated.

Just another day in some Islamic countries...

As I understand it, the time period that defines premeditation can be as short as a few seconds -- just long enough for the perp to form "intent."

Hard to see how the perp's actions in this case don't meet that standard.

What a terrible tragedy.

I am juist fuming at the senselessness and horror of this act.

This is just more of the benefits of wide open immigration and the mindless pursuit of diversity.

Our elected Royalty in Washington passes and enforces lofty sounding bills that are tearing our country apart and turning it into another third world cesspit.
They pat each other on the back and compliment themselves on their sophistication and worldly outlook.
They give thanks that they aren't narrow minded bible-clingers like the poor sods who do not fully appreciate their wisdom and great work.
Then they go home in limos and private jets to their fenced compounds and gated communities, leaving everyday people to suffer the results of their stupidity.

May God bless this poor innocent victim and curse the guilty murdering scum that killed him as well as anyone that works to save the killer from the death penalty or tries to delay justice for him.

Second degree??? What do you have to do in Canada to get charged with first degree? Use a (horrors) gun?

Condolences to Tim McLean’s family and friends.

Muslims and Schizophrenia go together since Mohammed founded the cult from voices in his head....
