I'm guessing any Canadian has heard about this, it's been all over the news at my local news station in Niagara. Scary stuff, think twice about taking a bus now. Thought that PB and J would have posted this he lives near there. Had to get article from here couldn't find a good local source. (also btw theres a solar eclipse tomorrow at 7:00am EST)

Maybe it was PB.

No one on the bus tried to subdue some 40 year old guy stabbing someone? What's wrong with people these days.

and i would honestly take that risk if the guy wasn't dead already.
ffs, there's 40+ people on that bus, that guy wouldn't even have time to think if everyone jumped him.

alright, next time your near a stabbing on a crowded bus you can be the hero/tough guy all you want and see how it goes. Maybe all of the scared too death people with you will help crowd back onto the bus and push you in there first.

Really dude I bet anyone in their right mind would have got their asses off the bus the second they saw some dude shanking someone. And really if you think about it how are 40 people gona jump onto a guy with a knife in a bus its not like they are big enough to surround the guy, even if it was there would be no way anyone would even want to stop him after he already killed one person because they would rather just get off the bus and not risk more lives and let the mounties or w/e the hell their called do their job.

that's kind of why I included, if he wasn't dead yet. i wouldn't try anything if the guy was already dead, or in such critical condition that he'd die in a couple minutes. all i'm saying is that if I saw someone about to get stabbed that I would actually do something about it, and i sure as hell would hope that the other passengers would actually try to help me/victim instead of running off the bus and locking themselves out. if you were in this situation, and you ran off the bus, knowing you could of stopped it and saved that man's life, would you sleep well that night? if I were there and did nothing it'd be screwing with my mind for years.

I don't know what I'd do, because I'm not in that situation. But, what I think I'd do is rush him. He's probably too focused on the fact that he KILLED A GUY, and thinking of a way to get the hell out of there to react. A simple knife disarm, and its free game from there.

I value my life far more than any strangers that I just might happen to meet on a bus, I don't think I would sleep well that night or for a couple weeks but after awhile I'm more than sure that I would get over it. However, if it was my family member or very close friend that was there I don't care what situation I was in I would damn sure try to get them out.

lol you guys all talk like that now "id totally jump in there and tackle him" etc ..this guy not only killed another man with a knife , but he cut his freakin head off , none of you would of done ANYthing..and i include myself in that statement..
bottom line.

i'd like to think i would've stopped him. take advantage of the rails and chairs and ninja kick him or something.

By the design of the bus I reckon max 3 people could get around him. if he's so 'robot' like methodically stabbing that poor bastard I would not go Farking near him. Only takes one swipe with a knife like that and you can say hello to life of ****. **** the passenger who gets stabbed I'd save my own ass and get out of there. They guy carved his bloody head off ffs.

Only a dumb retard who is high on crack or a pre-puberty kid who goes to a fantasy MMO gaming forum would try and 'aprehend' the attacker.

tl;dr version = Guy gets stabbed I don't care save my own ass.

the passengers ran off the bus when they first saw him getting stabbed, not after he's stabbed him 40some times and cut his head off crumpets. maybe someone who actually sees value in a strangers life would try to apprehend the attacker. for all I know the guy could have a happy family and is working some high end position that is actually valuable to society.
tl;dr version = I actually care about some innocent man's life, that's all that makes the difference.

i probly would have tried to stop the guy. he stabbed the guy 50+ times, ur saying no one could have kicked/punched him then just start stomping the shit outta him while he was stabing the guy for like 3 minutes? @ ppl saying "blah blah blah u wouldnt do shit blah blah".. some people actually do stand up to people like this freak, others run away, just depends on the person. i would like to think that if some psycho fck was trying to kill me, someone would help

I'd run like a Kenyan pulling old people and children into the centre walkway to obstruct the path incase the psycho would want to chase me.


And he was stabbed/decapitated/gutted after everyone was off the bus. When he first plunged in with the knife, the victim screamed and everyone got off the bus. It's not like they sat and watched the man stab him 50 times then cut off his head.

dom's right, he was just about to cut his head off when people noticed.

Only in Canada...

Maybe that 20 year old did something to that 40 year old. Like reminded him of some kind of past terror or some shiznit and made the "shanker" snap.


Anywayz, i would not rush him, unless hes going for one of my loved ones, or myself.

Gawd, talk about taking one for the whole team/bus mates if your rush

I bet he wasnt Canadian.

I read: "Man decapitated by a Canadian bus."

The article wasn't as interesting as I though due to my reading mistake.

Yay!

For me who is going to Canada soon...

1) I actually give a shit about my own life. I don't care for the guy getting stabbed. If you get stabbed once with a rambo style knife you get very little chance of recovering so goodluck to that.

2)I really could not care less if President Bush or Prim Minister Brown was sitting there. They get stabbed = They are farked.

Why you dont care about your life Crumpets? and no one should be stubbed, like mosiac said "the guy could have a happy family"

Exactly. He's bleeding and screaming: cut your losses, get out, call the police.
