Question

"Why"? did Vince Weiguang Li kill Tim McLean?

Answer 1

well for me I think this guy is really messed on the head and he is really mentally ill.Somehow I think he has schizophrenia and that he hears voices telling him to murder Tim Mclean and probably he heard voices from his headphones that disturbed him.Thats the only reason I could think of because recent news about Li just came up and said he wants someone to kill him.So I think he really might be psychotic.

Answer 2

No one knows what his motive was. He is obviously mentally ill.  

Answer 3

i don't think anyone is quite sure why..

He won't even speak in court.

Answer 4

From what I've read, Li was a recent immigrant to Canada, was stuck working menial jobs and his Wife just left him.

My guess is (AND TOTAL SPECULATION HERE) that he suffered an acute break down due to stress and culture shock.

I've read that this type of break down and stress can often trigger a kind of autonomous sleep walking like violence. He may not even been aware of what he was doing at the time.

His comments in court later about wanting to be killed could be seen that he is now lucid and horrified by what he has done.

Just my speculation.  

Answer 5

I imagine it will be proven that Li was mentally ill, and should have gotten treatment a long time ago.

This is just another case of someone slipping through the system unnoticed and another human being paying the price. If only we as a society could take away the stigma of seeking help when we need it, these sort of things may be avoided and lives can be saved.

Answer 6

Li is the only one who knows that.  And he isn't talking.

Answer 7

he was in his way.

Answer 8

Because evil DOES exist and sometimes that and that alone is the only explination...

The more we try to understand the why, the more we take away from the fact of evil and that an innocent person was the victim of such a disgusting and psychotic act.  

Answer 9

get a life !
