It's true that the story fell off the main pages, and it appears that the reason for this is simply that the very slow wheels of justice are moving at their usual glacial speed. Here's an update from August 18.....I'm only posting the link because I seem to recall that this source is either banned or requires heavy editing at Free Republic:
Winnipeg man charged in bus beheading held in psychiatric facility
(amusingly, the defense lawyer's name is "Libman".)
and like you, I don’t recall hearing about the other one.
Thanks for that confirmation...I'm wondering if there's been an effort to suppress news about this second incident to avoid a panic?
As for Amtrak, I love to take the train, but I always get a sleeper, I don’t feel comfortable sleeping with strangers. This story is one good reason not to.
It's so sad that evil people spoil so very many of the joys in our lives. I too will be much more likely to take the stoatmobile in the future. Expecting other people to keep you safe is continually proven as being a poor plan.
And I don’t recall EVER having my bags searched.
They probably weren't.
Wow, that’s even odder. He seems like he would be a normal person, altho I don’t think normal people go crazy and behead someone.
As for Amtrak, I know it’s not considered Freeperly, but I love the train. I don’t fly, and it’s much more comfortable for long trips than the car. I have been sorely disappointed that they have never opened the southern route since Katrina, as I would love to use it to travel from S. FL to TX to visit my kids (and even to NM to visit my elderly Dad). As it is, we try to drive back once a year, which is all the time my husband can manage from his job since the drive itself takes about a week (round trip).
