It really should be a bigger story, but, surprisingly, a lot of people haven’t heard about the totally batshit-crazy brutality that occurred on a Greyhound Bus in Canada a few days ago. Suffice to say, some whacko snapped and brutally stabbed this 22-year old kid a gazillion times (one eyewitness said 40 to 50 times) with a Rambo knife and then cut off his head and displayed it to the terrified passengers outside of the bus (they did the sensible thing and ran the fuck off of that bus, anyone who says they “could have stopped him” are exhibiting a severe case of “Armchair Quarterback Syndrome.” Sure, 37 people might have subdued him, but these are normal folks riding a Greyhound, not a paramilitary police force. One fatality could have easily turned into two or more fatalities and who really wants to be the guy who gets stabbed while 36 others jump on this guy and “kick his ass.”)
According to the myspace profile of the victim, Tim “Jokawild” McLean was an Insane Clown Posse fan. I mean how crazy is that? ICP has like a kabillion songs about decapitation. I haven’t heard much ICP, but I’d say decapitation was at least mentioned in the half-dozen or so songs I have been exposed to. The probability of this kid getting randomly decapitated on a bus in Manitoba has got to be be on par with an Ozzy Osbourne fan actually becoming possessed by demons.
I thought it was a fucking typo when I first saw this on the news pages a few days back…absolutely frigging unreal…what a crazy-ass thing to happen ON A BUS, no less. Nuts.
You’re right on the ICP angle too…weird.
….and yes I am still excited about my bus ride to NYC *shudder*
I was wondering…but since you’re in the USA and not Canada, where most of those crazy-ass bastards seem to gravitate to, you’ll be fine
Ha, I think Tanya is taking a bus to NY soon too. Oh yeah, you forgot ti mention the guy proceeded to cut pieces of the victim off and eat them…nice
