Too bad that no one on the bus had a gun and could have ended this horror.

Still no release of the perps name. I've read that Canadian prisons are very cushy indeed and I'll wager that their psych hospitals are even more comfy.

He's been ID'd and check out the charge. Second degree? Jesus,Mary and Joseph....he could be out in 10 years.
To: mewzilla
SECOND-DEGREE??? What in the world? I think the Canadians have lost their minds.

Actually, the victim may have been dead by the first scream--we don't know that, but he could have been.
However, if someone had had the means to take the perp out, all of the passengers on the bus would not have had to spend the next several hours on the roadside being terrified of what was going on.
I still contend that one armed person on that bus could have made a big difference.

A little bit of nit-picking here. Why are distances and speeds in Canada measured using the metric system, while heights and weights are measured in feet/inches and ounces? Just askin’.

His last name was “Li” IIRC. Did not like a Muz.

He decapitated someone!!!...
What does it take in Canada to get 'first degree', for mercy sakes????
To: Gay State Conservative; Jemian
Wonder what exactly ya gotta do up North to get charged with murder one?

Because they think it wasn't planned?....
..just a spur of the moment beheading?....
Your guess is as good as mine.
