Pretty edgey psycho freak by the sounds of it

Obviously it's all Patchou's fault as there's no skinning contest or public update yet. The man must have got edgey.

Freaky psycho indeed.

* Menthix waits for some politician to blame it on games or movies

Yeah really sad news that, feel really sorry for the people who were there its the sorta stuff that will stay with you for life

I can already see it being blamed on games and or movies.

Great, tell me that when I'm about to move there

And yeah it's a kinda thing that's going to put you on edge for the rest of your life - especially when you see it

I doubt I'd be screaming and puking though....

I meant I'd probably have some sick sort of respect and curiosity for the guy.

I mean what went on in his head that made him stab some random guy 60 times and behead him on public transport

WTF? I just read the article. That is sick.

It was this 40 year old guy, generally the whole games/movies context only comes up if the person in question is a teen. It would be hard to say that a "grown man" was influenced by video games.

By the way, ended up releasing the guy's name.

I would say this is the most thorough article about the incident (It also seems to keep getting updated as the story progresses).

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/08/01/stabbing-victim.html

Lock him up and make sure he NEVER gets out again

It's pretty fucked up

take it no one has highlighted my post yet

Haaaahaha nice, but how were we to know there was hidden text?

Next time put another line underneath the hidden text to show the abnormally large text spacing, so we think "is there something hidden"

Got an update (translated by Google, therefore "great" grammar):

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.volkskrant.nl%2Fbuitenland%2Farticle1051401.ece%2FDader_onthoofding_was_betrouwbare_krantenbezorger%3Fsource%3Drss&hl=nl&ie=UTF8&sl=nl&tl=en

how is that an update... it's way less information than the BBC article and way more less than Canadian news sites

proper update

i dont think it's fair to blame the other 40 or so passengers on the bus, as they could have truley actually saved him. the guy had a rambo knife!!! CUTTING UP A GUYS BODY!!! as the newspapers describe it, CARVING!! and i dont think its fair to address all canadians as "wussies" because of one isolated incident. people are now taken away from what really happened and who really did it and are now taking it upon themselves to blame the passengers? it's not right and it's sick to think that way.

you know waht? i hate britain because of jack the ripper and all citizens of the UK are wussies for not saving the women.
yeeeeeah pretty much the same eh.

and what the hell? ISLAMIC TERRORIST TRYING TO GET CLOSE THE THE FING UNITED STATES??!?!

atleast they didnt let him continue on the killing and locked him in the frigging bus! and siarming it so he couldnt get away! and keeping him in the bus till cops came so he could be trialed and punished for it!!
think of the positives of the people on the bus rather than "oh they're killers too" and open some of your minds and realize this shit doesnt happen in canada every day, so dont give us a negative name for it.

oh and another thought - k so he stabbed the guy already probably a couple times with his RAMBO knife............. within the first few seconds..... a few HUGE stab wounds........  yeah, grabbing that guy to stop him once the man is already dead wouldnt help much.risking your life for a DEAD man.... their adrenaline atleast kept him in the bus and saved more lives?!

Completely agree with marissa. The passengers coulnd't have done anything more. If a passenger had attempted to save the man, then we would may talk for more that one deaths.

I don't think anyone here was blaming the passengers Marissa

It was a horrible event, and one of the only horrible things ive heard coming out of Canada, i quite like the thought of canada since watching the Home Alone movies when i was little, but i do hope that nothing like this should occur again, the passengers on that bus were probably traumatized and still probably are.

psychos are everywhere.

Not Public Transport
Women alone by themselves at night
Warnings were issued and the girls did not follow them
Not exactly the same tbh....

Not that I'm sticking any blame onto passengers at all, they couldn't have done shit if the guy got stabbed in 'the right place' just once

through many articles in Canada reports coming from the US are saying we're "wussies" and that we should have stood up, and we're ALL the kind of people who let the world trade centers get taken out.

I heard it on the news. I think he got away with the police car but they finally got him. Too bad these things happen and we cannot do anything.

What is our world coming to? How is it that people can simply go ahead and cut other people's heads off, walk around with it, and feel entirely calm? There has to be something we're not doing correctly.
