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


RIP John Connor

If it had not happened on a bus, it would have elsewhere.

Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said 37 passengers
were aboard, many watching the on-board movie "Zorro" when
the violence erupted.

STOP PUSHING YOUR FUCKING POLICE STATE ON ME CANADA !!!!

Why not ban the fucking streets, or ban restaurants... lot's
of knives there.

The real threat are the drivers. I almost board 2 buses that
went off of the road in the past. They drive like maniacs
(most likely because they are so use to the 8 hour routes).

Then our transport minister is like "Yeah we need to place
some security checks at the bus station..."

Why because you can't spend anymore money at the airports?!
Did you fill them up with xray's and database's so much that
you can't buy them anymore ? It's CORPORATE WELFARE. He
wants to take my money, give it to his friends in the
industry, an use this freak attack to open the door to the
NEED FOR MORE SECURITY.

How about, let me carry a knife on board too ? What a bunch
of fucking pussies on that bus too. If I were taking a bus
home and some asshole started stabbing the guy beside me I'd
have punched him in the throat!!!!!!

AGGGGGGGG !!!!!! RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU NEVEERRRRRRRR See bus accidents on the news, it's so
rare to be able to find them. They report on them the day it
hapens and then it's snuffed out.

There are so many of these gray hounds that crash it's
insane.

I'm gonna make a documentary or something man this really
pisses me off. I take these busses almost every second
weekend.

ALSO, they never play the movie on the bus wtf.

ah come on man...

everybody would have been in a state of shock at what had
happened before the victim even died, half the passengers
were probably ASLEEP when this happened. you can't blame the
other passengers for this, they were just regular joes
going about their regular business when some crazy asshole
starts flipping out. it wouldn't even register until the guy
was dead, you don't expect an unprovoked knife attack coming
out of leftfield.

give these people a break, they will probably be scarred for
life by this event, they are victims too.

You're right. Fuck though, I'm sure instinctively someone
must have wanted to stop it. It was just a knife, and it was
a kid he stabbed too.

To many emotions AGGGG, I've been freaking out at people
about this story since it happened.

"just a knife"?

when you see someone fucking decapitated inside a bus,
there's very little time to contemplate it being "just a
knife".

He wasn't decapitated until after everyone ran out of the
bus.

Anyway, if I see an 18 year teenager old getting stabbed in
the throat by some pyscho I'm going to fucking do my best
and try to stop him. Call me crazy.

I just talked to one of my co-workers about this, I'm
baffled how ballless our society is !

How can you defend not doing anything ? It wasn't wolverine
or someone with super powers, it was some skinny fuck who
started stabbing a kid !

Come on Staz, I'm sure if you were there you would at least
throw something at that guy or something. No one did
anything !

It's hard to wrap your head around it, hard to fathom what
you'd be thinking at the moment something like this was
happening. I'd like to think I'd try to be a hero and jump
on the guy's back or knock him out with a deft lob of my
PSP, but I just don't know. Naturally it's a frustrating
image, the thought of that kid getting killed while
everybody else just piles out.

there probably was nothing you could do. by the time you
could even comprehend what is going on he would of been dead
already. 50-60 stabbings, and police came in 10 minutes.
thats like like 2 stabs a second.

plus while your on a greyhound ride you don't really have
axcess to a weapon immediatly.

its hard enough to walk around on a greyhound let alone
knocking down a fuck like that

i don't know. i just hope i never have to go through a
situation like that.

imagining it fucks with my head enough then having witness
it. i feel bad for the children who had to see that mess.

I'm with you homie, I would've tagged that motherfucker.
Even to prove a point. Ball-less society, word.

Well seeing as he went straight for the throat, how would
you even save the poor guy, he's already going to die from
the first stab. just saying..

This hit close to home for me. I use greyhound alot and have
taken routes this bus did. Also slept with my headphones on.


It's debilitating to comprehend the fear going through the
minds of the victim and victim passengers. Given my strong
sense of vigilante justice and massive balls, I'd have
rushed the guy before the police got there and probably
stabbed him to death and cut off His head. I dunno,
it just fills me with rage. 18? Fucking hell. We were all 18
and we know how young that is.

what would you I do in this situation?

its hard to say really, yeah i'd like to think i'd be a hero
like the rest of us would, but in truth i dont know. reminds
me of the song 9th and pine by less than jake.

Hell jus yesterday i'm hangin around waitin to pick up and
theres some dudes just hassling little groms, i didnt say
shit bout that then, i even walked away thinkin man those
kids think i'm one of those assholes thats given em grief,
un fortunatley those assholes jus happen to have some sweet
hook ups, thats why i associate with em. So if i wont even
stand upto some dudes makin a kids life a little more
difficult than needs be, what will i do when i see some dude
gettin stabbed right up on the bus?

I really dont know.

It's not being a hero or not, it's just doing what is best
for everyone. Who knows, he could have hijacked the bus and
went on a crazy driving spree like in GTA, or he could have
gone outside and stabbed people. Maybe someone was left in
the washroom, alone with the guy while everyone is outside.

I'm sure we would all be scared shit less, but this seems
like it would be a little easier to do something then to
just ME FIRST out the door.

I take several gray hounds/ SMT buses every weekend, or
second weekend. Lot's of money spent on them, bringing me
back to my original point, I think the fact the transport
minister is capitalizing on this to bring up the idea of
AIRPORT LIKE security is really low, considering how many
accidents that fucking bus company covers up.

I'm not saying I'm wolverine or anything, it just seemed
like a large group of people could have stood up to this guy
judging from the profile they gave us.
