Sorry if this has been posted, I searched but didn't see it.

AFP: Canadian police charge 40-year-old man in bus beheading

According to reports, McLean had been listening to music and texting friends and family, his cheek pressed against the window of the bus when his assailant struck suddenly, stabbing him repeatedly in the chest with a "big Rambo knife."

The other 34 passengers and the driver were jolted by "blood-curdling screams" and fled, bracing the door on their way out to trap the assailant inside the bus, witness Garnet Caton told public broadcaster CBC.

"He must have stabbed him 50 times or 60 times," said Caton.

"The Legend of Zorro" had been playing on tiny movie screens on the bus as dusk approached and passengers began to doze off.

The victim's father told CBC he had received a text message from his son as the bus was leaving Brandon for the last leg of his 600-kilometer (370-mile) journey, asking if he could stay the night.

Tim McLean Sr. replied, of course, he could come home.

The suspect, described as a large man wearing sun glasses, had been on the bus for only an hour and did not sit near McLean at first, said Caton.

During a stop, the suspect smoked a cigarette and then moved to the back of the bus to find an empty seat next to McLean, stowing his bags in an overhead bin, he said.

Half an hour later, he stood up and stabbed McLean.

The bus driver, hearing screams, pulled to the side of the desolate road, and opened the door.

Passengers scrambled over one another, according to witnesses cited by the Globe and Mail newspaper. An elderly woman was knocked to the floor. A mother seated at the rear threw her toddler several rows forward to get the child away from danger.

When Caton and two others returned to check on the victim, armed with a crowbar and a hammer provided by a trucker who stopped behind the bus, he said they saw the attacker "cutting the guy's head off and gutting him."

"While we were watching ... he calmly walked up to the front (of the bus) with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stared at us and dropped the head right in front of us."

"There was no rage in him and he wasn't swearing or cursing or anything, it was just like he was a robot or something."

Moments later, police surrounded the bus and arrested the man after a nearly three-hour standoff, an official said. "He was taunting police with the head in his hand out the window," said Caton.

I mean what the fuck? I think this man should have been gunned down on the scene, mental problems or no. Think of the poor kids parents getting that phone call. I can't even imagine.

Demons, duh.

The local station in Hamilton Ontario this morning talked about unconfirmed rumors that the attackers ate pieces of the victim, and the two HUNDRED member facebook memorial group.

It's so freaking sad to see the news teams struggling to give this story legs.

The attacker is a fucking nutter that cracked after being crammed on a bus for to many hours. Just senseless violence.

People need more guns to stop things like that imo.

ROFL yeah, more guns for all. So instead of killing one guy with his axe, he could have shot up a whole bus load of people Virginia Tech-style.

No the guns only protect people, that mother with the toddler could have gotten out her gun and ended the whole situation.
Crazy/criminal people can get guns whenever they need them, why can't normal people protect themselves with an wide array of military hardware on crowded buses?

People, untrained in how to fire or safely store firearms, with weapons in crowded public areas? Yes, please.

You fucking hippies. Everyone knows guns dont cause problems, they solve problems. After all the problem of violence can only be solved with more violence. Societies with more guns are safer. Look at the middle east!

Guns for all!

If the psych bag wanted to he would have gotten a gun. Also if I am remembering correctly, VT did not happen on a shitty bus. You hoe.

So you support the police randomly carrying out "the people's will"? Do you realize what you're saying? Sure the man is quite clearly a disgusting example of humanity's worst, but he still is entitled to proper trial and investigation. That way we can discover what spurred his behavior and find a way to prevent such activities from happening again, instead of letting coppers gun down people and letting it be the end of it...

How is stabbing someone 60 times and beheading them with a Rambo knife classed as second degree murder and not first?

You're absolutely right! We should study him and find the source of his anger. Maybe his mommy didn't hug him enough or he got picked on when he was a kid. Or maybe he's just off his fucking rocker and should be put to death? I can't understand how we can waste millions upon on millions of dollars trying to rehabilitate individuals or medicating individuals who have severe emotional and psychological disturbances when 100 out of a 100 times, they relapse and go apeshit bonkers again and end up killing or hurting someone yet another time.
