"He said the attacker calmly came to the front of the bus to show
off the head.
\_ is my CCW permit valid on a bus in Winnipeg?
\_ this is why public transportion should be banned.
\_ Do you think you are safer on public transit or operating your
own car?
\_ Dunno, but I'm not gonna be beheaded by a passenger in my car.
\_ I'm glad that 37 passengers were unwilling and unable to stop
a single psycho with a knife. There was a wacko on the bus in
Boston (the bus driver eventually kicked him off the bus) and I
was already planning for having to tackle the dude, even though
I'm hardly the heroic type, because there were women and kids
at risk. I was *hoping* some of the other guys nearby would
help me out if it came to that, but it looks like maybe that
was wishful thinking. Or else Canadians are just pussies.
\_ Or maybe the real world is not the action movie you
think it is. Dude snapped with no warning late at night
when most people were half asleep. I bet by the time it
was over most people didn't even fully understand what was
going on. Ever been mugged? It's not until after the dude
is running away that you actually have a chance to think
"hey wait, I'm on the ground, my jaw hurts, and that dude is
running away with my wallet!"
\_ The morons got back on the bus and watched him dismember
someone.
\_ Not according to the article.
\_ Yes, according to the article.
\_ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7535840.stm
Where?
\_ "The bus driver, Caton and a trucker at the
scene re-boarded to see what was happening.
Caton said he saw the suspect had the victim on
the floor of the bus and "was cutting his head
off and pretty much gutting him" with a large
hunting knife.
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
from fleeing. 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."
\_ "Passengers exited the bus, and a trucker who
stopped provided wrenches and crowbars to
several of them so they could keep the suspect
on the bus until police came, witnesses told
Canadian TV."
The guy has already been stabbed multiple
times, and is in the process of being gutted,
and you think the other passengers should have
fought him? Why? Do you actually think they
could have done anything for the victim at
that point?
\_ How about, I dunno, before it got to
that point instead of running off the bus
like pussies?
\_ Cause you are a real man who westles
bears and fucks 10 women a day. Oh
wait, I forgot. You are some pathetic
shit who last got laid in '98 and spends
his nights masturbating to war porn.
\_ I'm the first to admit I'm not the
type of guy you'd expect to intervene,
but I would. I think most healthy
males would if they have such a
numerical advantage.
\_ What advantage? People are waking
up to discover they're on the RL
set of a slasher film. Panic is
the default setting in that
circumstance, and it's a miracle
more people weren't hurt rushing
off the bus.
\_ Yes, they did. They were still
pussies.
\_ That's not what the CBC says. Heck, according to this,
even the victim was sleeping. The passengers did pretty
well. -!pp
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/07/31/greyhound-transcanada.html
\_ "Knife! Knife! Run!" followed by something like:
"Gee, do you think we should go back and check on that
guy?"
Good job to trap the dude in the bus, though, for
what good it did the victim.
\_ The guy who'd already been stabbed 50 or 60 times?
One of the first things they teach police and first
responders is that you're no good to anyone if you
make yourself a victim, too.
\_ People survive being stabbed that many times
and who is to know that he wouldn't go after
someone else?
\_ ...hence why they got everybody off the bus.
I'm all for outstanding heroics to save a
person's life, but second-guessing people
who arguably saved everyone else on the bus
is just dickish. They did what they thought
was right under the circumstances.
\_ I was on a BART train once and saw a guy running through cars,
randomly punching people in the face, then running to the next
car. I thought "WTF?" so I started following him. Some huge
extremely buff dude in the next car, who was probably a pro
football player or something (no kidding) then saw him and
tackled him and then sat on him until we got into Embarcadero
station, where the cops came and arrested him.
\_ Good on you and the other dude! How did it go when the
cops got there? |

7/31 Obama, such a class act. Accusing McCain of being racist
(groundlessly) _again_.
http://csua.org/u/lzl
\_ do you get everything from michelle malkin dot com? your language
is the same.
\_ Wow. McCain is indulging in the most disgusting of campaign
tactics which even people like Ranesh Ponnuru are decrying,
but it's Obama whose accusations are groundless. If you
don't get the obvious message sent by putting Obama in an
ad with two sexually available white women, then you are
extremely naive.
\_ Right, anyone who doesn't see racist undertones in everything
is naive. Two sexual availible white women, sheesh. If that's
the first thing you think of, your either trying too hard or
a perv.
\_ You don't have to see racist undertones in everything to
see it when it's obvious. -!pp
\_ FIND ME A LINK. THANKS.
\_ ugh, article is boring and uninteresting. can either you post
a link to video of the ad? ok thx.
\_ No where in this article does Obama accuse anyone of being racist.
In fact, the Obama camp specifically denies that claim:

7/31 Reggie Miller = Obama?
\_ Looking forward to your interpreting this into English, really.
\_ They are both black guys who play basketball, I see where you
going with this.
\_ By this logic, Bill Bradley = Obama: they're both politicians
who play basketball. |
