It’s sickening to think how may nuts are running around, and I’m not just talking about Vince Weiguang Li. Sure makes a person think twice about doing simple things that used to be safe…like riding a bus.

The story of Tim McLean’s untimely demise (he was only 22) is stomach turning and what’s worse - is the Westboro Baptists were threatening to attend McLean’s funeral and “picket” or “protest”. (Also at STACLU)

Tim McLean Murder And Funeral Attract Unwanted Attention (statement from family)

I can’t imagine what McLean’s friends and family were going through - it’s bad enough to be surprised when a tragedy like this occurs…but to have someone using that tragedy to further their sick agenda…is worse than disgusting.

Even PETA tried to use this tragedy to further their agenda - by claiming that anyone slicing a steak is just as a bad as a murderer. (How a cow is equal to a person is anyone’s guess, but a rat is a dog is a boy, as they say.)

The murder suspect is a man from China, 40-year-old Vince Weiguang Li, who worked at McDonald’s and delivered newspapers and appears to be one wackjob. He appeared in court, refused to speak, and refused a lawyer. The judge wants him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, which is understandable. But I have to wonder…is this guy a muslim? It’s not like we haven’t heard of beheadings in the past, but this story has a new twist to it - Vince Weiguang Li allegedly was hacking off pieces of the body and eating it…in full view of the passengers who were horrified that this was happening - but not one of the 38 people (including the driver) did a single solitary thing to stop it.

‘Please kill me’: murder suspect

The man accused in the beheading of a passenger last week on a Greyhound bus asked in court Tuesday to be killed.

I’ve seen where people are calling for government to provide more security on buses; I think people should be prepared because if you’re going to wait on government to save you, you could die waiting.

Sgt. Brian Edmonds said that 40-year-old Vince Weiguang Li, of Edmonton, Alberta, has been charged with second degree murder.

Friends started a Facebook group called “R.I.P. Tim” after news of the attack.

“He was a great person, he was kind, thoughtful, and he did not deserve this. I feel for his parents and sisters and his lil bro,” Jossiee Kehleer wrote.

Caron said McLean was quiet, though he liked to socialize with friends. He was small — about 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds — and tended to stay away from a fight, he said.

“From what I hear, this other guy is three times his size,” Caron said. “All the time I’ve known Tim, he’s never been the type of guy to get into a fight with. He always kept to himself when there’s strangers around.”

Witnesses said the victim was stabbed dozens of times in the apparently unprovoked attack Wednesday night aboard the bus as it traveled a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 12 miles from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.

They said the attacker then severed his seat mate’s head, displayed it and then began cutting up the body as passengers fled in horror.

Garnet Caton, who was sitting just one seat in front of the two men, said he did not hear the two speak to each other before the attack. Caton said the victim appeared to be sleeping with headphones on when his seat mate suddenly began stabbing him repeatedly.

“We heard this bloodcurdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy repeatedly, like 40 or 50 times,” Caton said from a hotel in Brandon, Manitoba, where he and other horrified passengers were taken.

Caton said the driver stopped the bus when he became aware of the attack and passengers raced off. A short while later, Caton said he re-boarded along with the bus driver and a trucker who had stopped to see what was happening.

He said the suspect had the victim on the floor of the bus and “was cutting his head off” with a large hunting knife.

‘No rage or anything’

“When he was attacking him, he was calm … like he was at the beach,” said Caton. “There was no rage or anything. He was just like a robot stabbing the guy.”

The attacker turned toward them and the three men quickly left the bus, blocking the door as the attacker slashed at them through an opening. Caton said the driver disabled the vehicle after the attacker tried to drive it away.

As the three guarded the door with a crow bar and a hammer, the attacker went back to the body and calmly came to the front of the bus to show off the head, Caton said.

Cody Olmstead, another passenger, said the man “dropped the head and went back and started cutting the body.” Olmstead said the man later use the head to taunt police.

Olmstead said many were watching the movie “The Legend of Zorro” when the violence erupted.
Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said there were 37 passengers aboard.

Notice that although people fled the bus, not a single one of them was trained to do something in response, or had a weapon to stop this mental case. Nobody had a gun? Or knew martial arts or something? They couldn’t have rushed the guy, wrestled his knife away from him and knocked him out?

Everyone was too afraid for their own safety to try and intervene and stop this horrible attack.

Interestingly, this comment left at the Edmonton Sun, is missing and it can’t even be found on the cache.

Presumably it’s a Canadian or someone who has some sense where these matters are concerned.

Leftists would prefer if murderers such as this guy were allowed to run free. People were sent to counseling right afterwards, how nice. I would be scheduling some self defense training and get myself a weapon of some kind. There is no excuse for this.
