Its a good thing this guy never got on a bus in the U.S, fuck after trying to use the bathroom on the bus he probably would have started to formulate a plan to bomb a station....
well. that, plus it's cheaper, plus it's faster, plus there's more legroom, plus the bathrooms can be entered without full protective gear, plus there's a plug on the wall for my laptop. but mainly the lack of beheader-guys.

Very scary situation... seriously, there are no words.
Well there are only so many words until one understands a little bit more of the person who did the attack and at least a glimpse of his not so distant experiences.
Their is very little to go on at the moment here, though apparently the attacker is still alive so we will most likely get a more concrete picture of what caused such a horrific incident then say the similarily grisly incident in Calgary not so long ago when an upper middleclass man stabbed his family and border to death, as well as killing himself.
Though I might add one could definitely make hypothetical analysis of either at the moment......
economic stress and the loss of priviledges due to loss of purchasing power anyone?

This is why I carried a gun with me the time I had to ride on a Greyhound.
since i was only visiting from my post overseas when i was Greyhounding it, a gun really wasn't an option. it was pretty easy to pick up a knife, though, and that did make my travels a lot easier.

Weiguang Li, 40, of Edmonton, Alberta,has been identified as the bat-shit crazyman who stabbed and eventually decapitated a fellow passenger onboard a Manitoba bound Greyhound bus. The hapless victim was stabbed dozens of times in the Wednesday night attack aboard the bus as it traveled a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 12 miles from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.
They said the attacker then severed his seat mate's head, displayed it and then began cutting up the body.
"When he was attacking him, he was calm," said Caton. "There was no rage or anything. He was just like a robot stabbing the guy."
BREAKING NEWS 11:36am EST
Royal Canadian Mounted Police have just released grainy video footage of the attack as captured by a fellow horrified passenger.
