M50o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr Man Decapitated On Bus

Published: Thu, July 31, 2008 - 3:45 pm

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Manitoba (AP) - There's been a bizarre and
grisly killing aboard an intercity bus in Canada.
Witnesses say a man repeatedly stabbed and then decapitated a
fellow passenger last night aboard a Greyhound bus traveling from
Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Police are providing no details, but say a suspect is in
custody.
A passenger, Garnet Caton, says the victim was stabbed dozens of
times by the man sitting next to him. The attacker then severed the
man's head with a large knife.
Caton says "There was no rage or anything. He was like a robot,
stabbing the guy."
The witness says the attacker calmly came to the front of the
bus to show off the head.
A Greyhound spokeswoman says 37 passengers and one driver were
on the bus.

Hey! Owen sound, that’s not to far from where I lived for 10 or 11 years. Right on lake Erie in Ohio in a small town named Vermilion. If it wasn’t snowing, the snow was melting and creating mud and then came the bugs, what everyone up there called Canadian Soldiers, they came off the lake and covered everything, they were more slippery than ice. All in all I liked it but the family decided to move back to a warmer climate so we came back home. THAT’S BEEN OVER 55 YEARS AGO ! Time sure does fly bye.

For the most part, this is quite a peaceful and almost “safe” place to live. The crime rate in my town is crazily low, if a window gets busted, that’s headline news! Until last week, when a man was stabbed, which happened to be a case of mistaken identity, there had been no violent crime in my area for over a year. Pretty good compared to good ole Mobile, lmao. I love Mobile, and I miss my family, but for the most part I like it better here. Except for the SNOW! HAHAAHA! It can be annoying after 4 mths of “lake effect snow”!

I see what you mean DEW. Manitoba is just about in the middle of Canada. Amen on the crazy people every where ! Been half way around the world in both directions from here and always found the people about the same, just with different accents and manners.

YEP! It puts a whole new meaning for Greyhound on the old saying” YOU PAYS YOUR MONEY AND YOU TAKES YOUR CHANCES “. You probably can get a better ticket price if you sit by a deranged psychopath. Man ! that’s a mouth full of words for me. I must have heard that in a movie at some time in the past.

No Sir Mr Carl, it was in Manitoba, about 1,409 miles away. I’m closer to home than I am there, lol. But it just goes to show, there’s crazy people everywhere, not just in Alabama!hahhahaa!
