I rode a Greyhound bus across the US once. I have some stories, let me tell you, but nothing even close to this. Obviously this guys has some mental issues. I feel sorry for those poor people on the bus.

Also, I can tell you I rode a Greyhound from San Fransisco to Reno the summer AFTER 911 and, believe me, I could have brought anything I wanted on that bus....anything. They never checked a damn thing. I thought about that as I rode too.

rim shot.

what a fucking nutjob. such a waste of life, both the victims and the
lunatic who took his life.

this is why this fucking country needs to bring back the death penalty.
no amount of time spent in prison will bring the justice that this kid's
family deserves.

The death penalty will never come back in Canada, nor should it.

Yeah, I was scheduled to take an overnight bus back from NYC all by my lonesome last night, but switched it to one during the day (only because I'm an idiot and actually wanted to come back a day earlier but booked the wrong night). But I was definitely relieved not to be taking the overnight bus after I heard about this. So unimaginably horrific. The poor victim and witnesses, I don't think you'd ever get over something like that.

And no one even remotely looked in my bag on either side of the border, so I could've packed anything in there. They really need to institute airport security checks for the buses.

I will have to respectfully disagree that it should not.

It's ok though because if god forbid this was to ever happen to
anyone I loved or cared about then I would carry out my own
death penalty on the fucking scumbag.

i dont know what is worse... the lack of justice for the family of the victim..

...or the fact that the story ends abruptly and is immediately followed for ads for weight loss and whiter teeth...

or that the killer will have an annual opportunity / consideration to rejoin society with no criminal record.

ok, so, wait....in Canada a guy can go ape, behead a stranger that is sleeping, dismember him, nibble on him...and get away with it because he is mentally ill

however, in America, a guy with alzheimer's can lose track of reality, body slam another guy with alzheimer's (neither one remembering what happened or why afterward) causing the victim to break his hip and eventually die...and he might be prosecuted?

wtf?

We drink far too much beer up here.

Personally, I could not give a rodent's puckered starfish how "mentally ill"
or "not of right mind" you are.
Take a life - give yours in return because yours just isn't worth a damn.

I think the guy should be put in a mental hospital unti such time he is well enough to go to trial. I just can't believe he could do such a horrendous thing and could be running around free as a bird in a little as a year.

It's really not as black and white as most of you are making it out to be. And, no, he won't be released "next year".

According to all the articles I have read, if he is found mentally stable, he will be released. Evaluations of his mental stability are to be annual so, technically, he could be released next year. However, he obviously is seriously mentally ill so it is very unlikely. Regardless, the fact that once he is stable mentally, he gets released and doesn't have to answer for the crime is disturbing.

Again, I can only go off what I have read from various sources, but it appears that is the case.
