f*** me :eek:



A young man travelling on a Greyhound bus was stabbed to death and beheaded by a stranger in a horrifying act of apparently random violence.

The incident occurred on a bus travelling from Edmonton to Winnipeg just before 10 p.m. Wednesday.

A man of about 18 who was sleeping with headphones on was suddenly attacked by his seat mate, according to the man who sat directly in front of them.

He was stabbed repeatedly with a large hunting knife, sending blood spraying across the interior of the bus. The driver quickly pulled over and passengers fled out the front door.

The man then sawed off the victim's head and carried it to the front of the bus.

The two did not apparently know one another. The victim boarded the bus in Edmonton, one witness said, and the attacker boarded in Manitoba.

A standoff with police ensued until about 1 a.m. local time.

One man was taken into custody.

Garnet Caton, 26, was sitting in the seat in front of the attacker.

"I was just reading a book and all of a sudden I heard a guy screaming. I turned around and the guy sitting right beside me was standing up and stabbing another guy with a big Rambo knife," he said.

"Right in the throat. Repeatedly."

The man wielding the knife had a shaved head and was wearing sunglasses, he said.

"He looked totally calm. He didn't say a word I don't think to anybody on the bus ... nothing. Just totally calm."

Mr. Caton said most passengers were sleeping at the time and didn't realize what was happening.

"I screamed 'stop the bus!' ... Everybody got the hell off, and people at the front of the bus didn't really understand what was going on. It almost turned into a trample scene there, everybody trying to get off the bus. But the guy didn't care at all. He wasn't concerned with anybody but the guy he was stabbing.

"The guy was totally calm. When he brought the head he looked at us and dropped it. It was like he was having a day at the beach. He couldn't be bothered by anything else."

Yes, that is quite bad. But there's really no need for anyone to lose their head.

iPod rage probably. Maybe the victim was playing Phil Collins. Would explain why he was asleep and why the other guy reacted so badly.

Seriously, though, I just wanted to let you know it wasn't me. :ohmy:

Perhaps we should do a Canadian Seagulls rollcall. . .

These jocular responses make me wonder..... are you lot living in a computer-game world or something?

Got any more, like about Al-Quida execution victims or something?


I know, I just can't get my head round why people would joke about something like this.

Are you for real? Take a look at your avatar. Yes I know it's all about Monty Python but Minehead by Election was tasteful? :nono:

Do you know the way out of that Ivory Tower. Just wondering like 'cos you seem to have been up in it a long time?
