To summarize, a man randomly started stabbing the person sitting beside him in a Greyhound bus with a "Rambo knife", and then eventually cut off his head.

Answer 4

Horrible. Just as I was reading the article it came across my TV. I don't even know what to say. It has left me speechless.

Answer 5

He's nuts  - is what I think

But a good lawyer will probably get him a nice plea and a short stay in a hospital then he will be back home to do it all again.

Answer 6

As sick as this is,it is going on all over the place.People are killing each other,their babies,parents,strangers,loved ones.The world is getting worse every day.Sad part is,this guy will claim his father touched his privates as a child and that is why he had to do what he did to this man on the bus and they will give him time in a prison with therapy to help him cope.Whatever,it should be like the old days or  in some other countries.Hurt or kill someone,get the same done to you.Too many people now "boo hoo" about events in their life that cause them to "snap" It's a sick world we live in.

Answer 7

Why? Um, insanity or drugs, maybe both? I like how the passengers handled it, some armed themselves with crowbars and such from a passing trucker, the driver disabled the bus from outside somehow, and they held the culprit in the bus until the police arrived. Gotta love Canadians. :)

"To summarize, a man randomly started stabbing the person sitting beside him in a Greyhound bus with a "Rambo knife", and then eventually cut off his head"....

He also gutted the guy and threw his intestines around, and walked around the bus holding the head.

The only reason why someone would commit such a horrible and violent crime (especially in public like that) is if they were seriously mentally disturbed. If you look at the reports the attack was completely unprovoked, the victim was actually sleeping when the man decided to attack him. The reports also note that the killer wasn't enraged or showing any emotion at all, and described him as robotic.

He definitely has some sort of mental illness, as for what it is, who knows. Maybe they will be able to provide us with further details in the near future.

I hope they lock this guy up and throw away the key, this is the most horrifying and disgusting thing I've ever heard of... Like something out of a horror movie. My heart goes out to the the family of the victim and all of those who were there.
