Witnesses: Canada bus passenger beheads seat mate
From Associated Press
August 01, 2008 1:23 AM EST

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Manitoba - Passengers aboard a Canadian bus fled in horror as a fellow traveler viciously attacked his seat mate, repeatedly stabbing him and then severing his head, witnesses said Thursday.

Police said a 40-year-old man was arrested after the grisly attack late Wednesday night aboard a Greyhound bus en route from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba.

The suspect was captured as he tried to escape from the bus early Thursday about three hours after the violence, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Steve Colwell told reporters.

Authorities declined to provide details beyond that the victim had been stabbed. They said a motive hadn't been determined and refused to identify the suspect or the victim.

But passenger Garnet Caton said the victim, who appeared to be about 19, was sleeping with headphones on when his seat mate suddenly began stabbing him as the bus traveled a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway, a dozen miles from Portage La Prairie.

Caton, sitting just one seat in front of the two men, said he heard no exchanges between them prior to the violence.

"We heard this bloodcurdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy repeatedly," Caton said from a hotel in Brandon, Manitoba, where he and other horrified passengers were taken.

Caton said the driver stopped the bus when he became aware of the attack and passengers scrambled off. A short while later, Caton said he re-boarded along with the bus driver and a trucker who had stopped to see what was happening.

He said the suspect had the victim on the floor of the bus and "was cutting his head off" with a large hunting knife.

"When he was attacking him, he was calm," said Caton. "There was no rage or, or anything. He was just like a robot stabbing the guy."

The attacker turned toward them and the three men quickly left the bus, blocking the door as the attacker slashed at them through an opening. The three secured the door to prevent the man's escape. Caton said the driver disabled the vehicle after the attacker tried to drive it away.

As the three guarded the door with a crow bar and a hammer, the attacker went back to the body and calmly came to the front of the bus to show off the head.

Cody Olmstead, another passenger, said the man "dropped the head and went back and started cutting the body." Olmstead said the man later use the head to taunt police.

WTF?  The other passengers ran off the bus?  No help for the poor guy who was screaming?

F'in Pussification of America.

It's a Canada thing.  You wouldn't understand. 

[Saniflush]

They are FRENCH Canadian.

Hey, hoser... 
Not much for readin', eh? 



Pussification?  YES...
Our America?  NO!  So, take off!  We're not quite as pathetic as our neighbors to the north... yet.

Canada is just America's attic.  You forget that it has a lot of neat stuff up there until you actually go see it.  And Mexico is the basement.  A little dirty, but a hell of a lot of fun.

Truthfully, I tend to skim over the details and just read the important stuff.

The guy that got his noggin sawed off was most likely one of those bastards that just wouldn't shut the fuck up. I've entertained the thought of doing the same thing during several flights on Delta. Always seem to get seated next to some fat blabbermouthed asshole instead of the hot chick that usually winds up sitting in the row behind me.

Ain't that always the way?  I've been traveling for years...  I've been on hundreds of flights, and I can only recall a few times where I got to sit next to a sexy, hot dame.  It's almost always the incredibly overweight person who overflows into your seat, a parent with a crying baby, or the blabbermouth.  Now, I do have some stories and experiences, but nothing resembles anything out of Penthouse Forums.

Here's my usual airline scenario. I board, stow my shit, get seated, then flip open my book/magazine. Every now and then, I'll glance up to see who's heading my way. Some schlutz carrying an arm full of duty free shop bags, plus a bag about 6 inches greater in circumference than is acceptable as carry on. Still gonna try to cram it into the bin amongst everything else. "Stupid jackass. They should shoot him," I usually mutter under my breath as the peanut chunker comes to tell him his bag is too big and will have to be checked. He puts up a momentary fuss before finally relenting and handing the bag over.

He finally sits about 5 rows up and to the opposite side of the aircraft from me. The line of passengers waiting to get to their seats has grown considerably since the jackass's futile attempt at hammering a square peg into a round hole. It stretches all the way to the door.

About 8 people in is this pretty hot looking gal, dressed professionally, not slutty. I start thinking how pleasant the trip to San Diego would be sitting next to her. She keeps coming my way, looking to my side of the plane. "I've got a chance," I kid myself. She eases into the row directly in front of me, just close enough to get an intoxicating sniff of her perfume.

"Damnit!"

Another chance approaches about 4 people behind her. She looks my way, passes, and takes a seat in the row behind me.

I look up to see what fate has dealt me. Maybe I'll have the 2 seats to myself, I think, Fat chance.

I see a guy about 7 people up the line. 300 pounds, stuffed into a cheap suit with a tie that is wrapped around his meaty neck. It's all askew and looks like he is trying to hang himself. He is hugging a wadded mass of crumpled newspapers, a "to go" bag from the airport sandwich shop, and he is sweating like a guy running an asphalt steam roller in Greene county in the middle of August.

"You're my bitch," karma whispers to me. "Enjoy your next 3 hours."

And, just to prove karma is a heartless bitch, every now and then I catch a brief whiff of that sweet perfume, It's fleeting, and quickly driven away by the stench of the lummox that is wedged into the seat next to me.

I wonder if the guy had been convicted of anything before that??

If not, it sounds like some kind of demonic possession.  I mean really, who just does something like that randomly?

That brings me to my question, do you believe in in demonic possession?  I personally have not made up my mind about it.

I would rampage on Ms. Stokke's ass as though I were demonically possessed.  Then, at the inevitable trial for my horrendous acts upon said ass, I would claim that I had been demonically possessed.

So, my answer is: I believe in demonic possession if it will help me beat a rap.

[Snaggletiger]

Demonic possession is a viable defense for certain criminal acts....if the jury believe that shit.
