KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent -- A 21-year-old woman was beheaded in front of horrified onlookers at a bus terminal in this Caribbean nation's capital, police said Tuesday.

Stacy Wilson was returning home from work when a machete-wielding assailant pulled her off an idling bus in Kingstown, according to Assistant Police Superintendent Eckron Lockhart.

Thank G-d he didn't have a gun.

They did not release a motive for the attack.

Insanity?

[Argus]

Recent convert to Islam?

Hmmmm

[Emmett McCarthy]

Took the words right outta my mouth!

[dfwgator]

Darned Rastafarians at it again.

[cripplecreek]

I assume there were other people on the bus who apparently sat and watched.

Now, now, now...let's not all lose our heads over this...oh, wait!

Honestly, without a pistol in hand, I'd be afraid to make a peep
when a nut is slingin' away with a machete.

There's a reason the gang MS-13 uses machetes.
Psychologically it's easier to scare people with a weapon that
can separate a person from one of their limbs with one good swish...
when a pistol might only punch some survivable holes in them.

IIRC, once a disarmament was done in Rwanda...that's when the
thugs brought out their machetes (made in China).

These Caribbean nations are very violent.

[cripplecreek]

Good point. I've got a real machete made in Honduras. It's not a knife. It's an axe with a 2 and a half foot blade.

That ad on the link nearly freaked me out. Bad timing for it, I would say. ;o)

[caseinpoint]

And now that I went back to the ad, the original head of a young woman isn't there. But really, it was a young woman whose head is in the foreground, tilted back so you can barely see the rest of the body. I'm not crazy (most of the time)!
