AND within a day or so, there was that Greek guy that beheaded his girlfriend (and even her dog):

What's going on? You don't just behead someone because you're mad at them, or because you're having a bad day.

PS - I've worked with the mentally ill before - they're not all violent, they have more choice over their behavior than many would assume, and none of them ever beheaded anyone!

Answer 1

I am from santorini the island that the beheading happened in Greece,I think that when people without any history of mental illness around the world start to kill without any reason we should take the hint that something bigger is going on in our society.

Answer 2

Canada immigration obviously does a very poor job on interviewing prospective immigrants to our country.  Yes, the man was a responsible newspaper deliver person.  Big deal!  He might have just snapped from some pent up frustration, but why was he packing such a large knife on his trip to Winnipeg?  Maybe his dream of moving to North America and receiving all the riches portrayed by immigration agencies in China which charge alot to help with the process did not materialize and he was not personally successful financially or in his personal life made him just explode in frustration.  Nothing was said of Mr McLean, the victim, just prior to his death, except that he appeared to be sleeping on the bus, and listening to music.  What kind of music?  I honestly can't stand some of this new music either and am inclined to "snap" when having to listen to that viloent rap music!!

Yeh I picked up on this too.  Beheadings seem to be all the rage nowadays (if you're a sick and twisted loser!)  .. I am horrified by the stats.  We've had our fair share down here in Oz too ..

Answer 4

Canada--the guy has no history of any mental problems, and no criminal record. The victim was a total stranger. My cousin, Bernie, was the bus driver. He's doing pretty good, or so it seems. We'll see.

Answer 5

I think it is a beheading sickness and they are trying to prove to the world that they also can do it.

Blaming on depression or ill-thought of a person is not a crazy man's claim.   If he is depressed to extreme, he will only kill himself.

Can the World make a commitment to find out the truth of such incidents and make known to the WORLD who care.  

Answer 6

Plus a man beheaded & chopped up his girlfriend in Brazil.

I think it's because of drugs.

Heavy drugs are making people depraved.
