    I just saw the news coverage for this. To be anything but disturbed would be unhuman, in my mind.

    It seems more likely that they vacated the bus and waited for police, and hey, it only took them 10 minutes to get there.

    ok, maybe it wasn't planned...

    but that's so cruel.... what makes me sad about it is that i don't know why it happenned.

    Ah, untreated, unchecked mental illness.

    California produces several stories like this per year.

    Jeezus. That's the kind of thing that scares me the most. Random violence is crazy because it can happen to anyone. Makes me want to stay in the house.

    That is seriously disturbing, I've seen a lot of f*cked up sh*t in my lifetime, and I'm kinda immune to the stories of shootings and "regular" stabbings and such .... I don't know what I would do if I witnessed this. How crazy and sad.

    I am from Winnipeg and this has to be one of the most disturbing random things I have ever heard of happening here in all of the time I have lived here,

    I mean Winnipeg has gotten much more violent and the murder rate increases every year but this has just disturbed me since I heard the news.

    I guess things like this happen in all places but wow, it just really hit home.

    I feel for the poor victim , the family and all of the innocent people who were witness to such a disturbing act of violence.

    I read this and FEW things freak me out. This genuinely bothered me. Imagine being there and Greyhound sucks as it is. You are seriously on top of one another and it blows, then some asshole goes stabbing some guy and chops his fucking head off!

    It's not easy to chop a head off with a KITCHEN KNIFE! It's not like this guy was carrying a chainsaw. You'd have to take a few wacks to get it. Then to get up and carry it around?

    All I can picture is the movie High Tension.

    Meth.

    I don' t mean to be insensitive, but I have a feeling that's what caused induced this man's psychosis and maniacal, almost super-human strength (it's hard to debone a chicken, man).

    ^^And yet, he had a butcher knife on him.

    I mean, I agree that sounds plausible, but he was sitting quiet on the bus for a while. He brought the knife under his coat. There has to be something planned about that, you know? Drugs or not, people mostly don't carry butcher knives under their coat for no reason.

    No more thinky-thinky. I haven't slept more than six hours in three days. I'm just going to go to bed. Yuck, this thing still won't stop creeping me out. People are so scary. I have that Tony Soprano quote in my head "Nineteen years old, this kid!" (what he said about the stripper Ralphie bludgeoned to death).

    Seems paranoid. I mean obviously there are mental issues that can cause something like this but I vote for drugs. And meth was the first thing that came time mind as well.

    Of course I tend to think most people are on Meth.

    It was, allegedly, a large 'Rambo' type hunting knife.

    Meth probably brought out latent paranoid schizophrenia. He was probably carrying the knife because he was feeling paranoid and he just decided to get violent. Greyhound bus rides suck, but not THAT much, man!

    I don't want to make people sadder and more upset than they already are from reading this story, so I'll refrain from adding all the weird stories like it that happened in my part of California....too depressing to contemplate.

    Nobody did anything? Not one person. Am I the only person, unarmed and all, that would risk my life to save another? I'd be clawing the fuck out of the guy and try to protect another human... but okay... let's all get off the bus, single file people, and wait..

    But fear doesn't freeze everyone, does it? Am I the only stupid fuckhead that 'fear for my life' runs out the window when I see someone hurt? It's happened before. I've seen bad shit happen and I've just done wtfever I could to stop it.

    But I'm super weird in stressed situations I guess. It's when I have the coolest head.

    This was really sad when it happened. But the story is that he was just a normal person with a history of schizophrenia. Im pretty sure what happened was is he had stopped taking his medication, he was working out of town so no one noticed he wasnt taking it, he also had no history of violence. He was coming to Winnipeg from Alberta and he had a machete in his bag, I am assuming his outbreak started before leaving. I think this was just as horrible for him as it was for everyone else. Upon coming to the man had no idea what he was doing. Of course I am not saying that it was ok. But I believe that it was fair for him to be sentenced to time in a mental facility.
