Li faces second-degree murder charges for the brutal late Wednesday murder of a 22-year-old man on the bus traveling a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 12 miles from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.

Jesus ****, what do you have to do in Canada to face first degree murder charges?

 

[$tinkle]

offer to be traded from the habs to the ducks, duh

 

[Samirol]

Jesus ****, what do you have to do in Canada to face first degree murder charges?

premeditation

 

[$tinkle]

premeditation

which is nuts.

who carries around a rambo knife w/ a 4" blood trough onto a greyhound not ready to go to work? just b/c he didn't pick out a particular victim ahead of time shouldn't relieve him of premeditation

if they have a death penalty, seems to me this should qualify

Greyhound scraps ads after Canada bus beheading

"Greyhound knows how important it is to get these removed and we are doing everything possible," Wambaugh said. "This is something that we immediately asked to be done last week, realizing that these could be offensive."

every once in a while, peta's pretty funny: PETA's beheading ad spurned

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — An animal rights group has tried – and failed – to run a newspaper ad comparing the beheading of a passenger on a Greyhound bus last week to the treatment of animals by the meat industry.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, said on its website it would run the ad in the Portage la Prairie Daily Graphic.

However, city editor Tara Seel said the newspaper had no intention of running the ad, which uses imagery of “an innocent victim's throat” being cut, in reference to the slaughter of cows, chickens and pigs on factory farms.

“His struggles and cries are ignored ... the man with the knife shows no emotion ... the victim is slaughtered and his head cut off ... his flesh is eaten,” reads the ad, which is posted on the website.

“If this ad leaves a bad taste in your mouth, please give a thought to what sensitive animals think and feel when they come to the end of their frightening journey and see, hear and smell the slaughterhouse.”

VB couldn't have written it any better

I just read some of the [highly entertaining] comments on that PETA story. It's entirely too funny when the masses get upset - especially in a situation where it's obvious that PETA wants them to be that way. :rolf:

it's a race to the bottom:

'God is punishing Canada', westboro baptist church sez

so now 'God' is a hungry asian?

 

[reflux]

'God is punishing Canada', westboro baptist church sez

If they prayed hard enough, God wouldn't force them to picket their way through the countryside.

Canada judge: Man not responsible for beheading

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) - A Canadian judge ruled Thursday that a man accused of beheading and cannibalizing a fellow Greyhound bus passenger is not criminally responsible due to mental illness.

The decision means Chinese immigrant Vince Li will be treated in a mental institution instead of going to prison. The family of victim Tim McLean dismissed the trial as a "rubber stamp" that allows Li to get away with murder.

"A crime was still committed here, a murder still occurred," said Carol deDelley, McLean's mother. "There was nobody else on that bus holding a knife, slicing up my child."

how can anyone take this provincial territory srsly any longer?

What you're saying is that, sometimes, even the retarded should be executed?




Agreed.

 

[$tinkle]

executed - no
held responsible & subject to punishment - yes

especially if it's a minority

Agreed.

See my sig line...

I wouldn't want to work at whatever hospital he's going to...

As for it being a hospital, I imagine it will be more or less prison-like.

Didn't you guys see Cuckoo's Nest?

He's MUCH better now......

WINNIPEG — Vincent Li has taken a significant step toward regaining his freedom and returning to the community — less than two years after the mentally ill man randomly stabbed, beheaded and dismembered a sleeping passenger on board a Greyhound bus.

Dr. Steven Kraemer told a provincial review board Monday that Li is ready to start receiving supervised passes that let him out of his locked ward at a Manitoba mental health centre. He said Li's treatment team endorses the idea of letting him out for fresh air and recreation twice a day, up to 15 minutes each time. Kraemer said Li's opportunities could gradually be increased to a pair of daily one-hour leaves.
