The question the liberals always ask: “What made him do this?”

When no information is released on the perpetrator or victim, one can only wonder if this is another attack by a practitioner of the Religion of Peace. The method of execution doesn’t sound like anything a traditional Canadian would do.

Pre-board security screening needed.

What’s really disturbing is that with a whole busload of people, nobody stopped the attack. They all ran off the bus. While it sounds unlikely that they could have saved the victim, they should have been able to stop it before the decapitation. And the perp should have been dead before police got there.

“Uighur or Han?”

Huh? You tell me. From a Canadian news site:

Making news this morning: More details on the Greyhound bus murder are circulating. A number of groups on the social networking Web site Facebook are paying tribute to 22-year-old Tim McLean as the victim of a horrific stabbing and decapitation. On his Myspace profile, McLean, who called himself “Jokawild,” described himself as someone who was into having a good time and “getting the most out of life.” RCMP said Friday that Vince Weiguang Li, 40, of Edmonton, has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder and is scheduled to appear in court in Portage la Prairie, Man., Friday at 10 a.m. local time.

There was a young, buff ex-military guy sitting right in front of the attacker and the victim. He ran.

You must have a source that I have yet to find.

What is your source of that info?

See post 12. I read another story which referred to the victim as a “young aboriginal man.”

Do you see what happens when we let everyone have knives? Why, oh, why can’t we have a national knife registry and ensure that every knife that the gubmint allows us to own is locked safely in a restaurant kitchen or butcher shop?

So, please tell me. Is “Weiguang Li” Uighur or Han? And what, pray tell, is the difference?
