Okay, so it's not often I hear a news story and it's still on my mind days later unless it's:
1. Overly played/analyzed.
2. Something local.
3. Related to something I've been following socially/politically.
4. Or just completely shocking/outrageous.
Well, this is a #4. It is just so peculiar and horrifying - and I never saw it on the news, although we have Fox News running 24/7 in my office. I did hear about it through a friend who saw it on the news though.
You can read the full story here and here.
Here's the gist though: (You'll never think of public transportation the same)
A greyhound bus driving overnight through the plains of Canada - A 40 year-old man gets on the bus and rides for about an hour quietly. Then he just decides to get up and calmly (some reported "robotic like") stab a 22 year-old guy, who is sleeping with headphones on, about 50-60 times with a hunting knife and kills him - and doesn't seem to know the guy at all. It's gets worse...
He throws the body on the floor and decapitates him, holding the head up for all the other passengers to see as they are fleeing off the bus! Then meticulously disassembles and disembowels him as well - one passenger reported he's certain he saw the guy eat some of him!?!??!
The bus driver and a trucker who stopped with all the frantic people fleeing the bus, held the door closed, containing the crazy on the bus, as he tried to get off with the knife. He has been arrested, not without trying to flee - and has not been interviewed as of yet... Currently, it appears this was a completely random attack.
All I have to say: "What is this world coming to?"

Geez. That's disgusting. Did you read the story (and this makes me so sad) about the little disabled girl who was found dead in her bed after wasting away to 46 pounds? Her mother and "care givers" had neglected her for months...so bad that the girl's bedsores were infested by maggots. *Gag. It made me cry :(
Oh, I know...so depressing.
Wow, that's weird. Very sad.
Canada is known....or not known as the case may be.....for keeping news like this quiet. I had a friend who lived in Seattle and got Canadian news on occasion, and there were some really sick and twisted stories that we never heard down here. Those people on the bus are going to need some serious help getting those images out of their heads! Blech!!!
