| Decapitation reported on Manitoba bus |
| 2008-07-31 |
| Ya meet the weirdest people on busses... BRANDON, Man. -- Thirty-six passengers of a Greyhound bus travelling from Edmonton to Winnipeg Wednesday night watched in horror as a fellow passenger reportedly stabbed another man sleeping next to him, eventually decapitating him and waving the man's severed head. Eeww... "He didn't do anything to provoke the guy. They guy just took a knife out and stabbed him, started stabbing him like crazy and cut his head off," said Garnet Caton, 36, a passenger. |

| #5 Yup, shooting him in the process could have prevented the killing - way more doable than rushing a big guy with a knife, and do it so bate-handed (or even with an hammer or a metal bar)... |

| #3 "Aboriginal" is canuck PC speak for injun, am I right? Can't blame the passengers here, IMHO they were more than adequate in confronting the murderer and preventing him from escaping, even from the numbing comfort of my PC screen, I can see it took some guts. As for rushing the guy and preventing him from killing and mutilating the victim, one would have had to be on the spot and experiment the situation to see if he could even had done it - I know and like the image, but humans are not sheepdogs, sheepdogs fall back on their instinct and breeding, humans have to deal with their mortality, and must rise to their training and experience. |

| #2 Nobody tried to do anything to impede the murderer, like throw their I-pods at him? Or the hammer and the metal bar? It seems to me that while one can stab quickly and suddenly, cutting off a head would take a bit of time and concentration, giving time to the rest of the passengers to actually, you know, do something. Or perhaps the passengers were all sheep, with only the one wolf and nary a sheepdog among them. |
