Bus passenger beheaded seat mate ( Archived) (201)

Aug 3, 2008 4:17 PM CST Bus passenger beheaded seat mate
I should probably stay out of this thread but I was wondering about something. But first, I don't think he was a muslim extremist if he had a Pastor and attends a church. So the whole terrorist theory doesn't wash in my eyes.
I realize the media doesn't always give all the gory details but the truth usually comes out eventually.

What I'm curious about is why he boarded a bus for about an 800 mile trip with a 12" butcher knife? That almost has the appearance of pre-meditation on his part doesn't it? But the young man he killed was a stranger to him therefore between the knife and killing a total stranger he has to be totally insane.

I'd say he's a few bricks shy of a full load. Not to be offensive to anyone.

Indyfella: I'll do some googling. I sure wouldn't want to have missed something that important. I remember the silence being deafening.



I'm sure you won't find anything...You know me...I just like to make things up as I go along and frequently have no idea of what I am talking about!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully no one is offended by anything that would ever be said on CS. Or for having a different view.
That doesn't seem right...

It doesn't seem right, but we are a mix of people here so of course people will be offended from time to time.

I've felt offended by some comments made many times, and it's not because I disagree with them, but the way they are put forward.

Join the club. Usually I don't say much about some of the insults tossed out. However, this particular topic rather interesting as to how people view it.

Lillym: Interesting you should say that... now how did the Mintoff years have anything to do with our culture???


Well, I am living in Valencia,Spain for the past 30 years and truth speaking, hardly any roman catholics left, but our chief of town is a woman,reelected now for the 5th time and any woman can walk alone by day or night and no guy even dares to overdo. It s enough you make like reaching for your movil phone and they beg you not to call the police .-) well trained I would sayprofessor

Now to that horror on Greyhound...as a tour guide I will make sure no knifes or Toledo swords are allowed inside....promissed.

I've got a hypothosis that if if someone were to bomb the white house and kill the president and vice president, we'd see at least 10 humor threads within 24 hours. Tell me I'm wrong.

If sick people turned to look at themselves when they felt the urge to find humour in tragedy, there would be a lot less sick people around.

I took your statement to it's baseline, but obviously you missed the inference..........

Sick people will always find humour in tragedy and write about it. (Was that clear enough or do I have to disect it again and explain it to you?)

I think you will find that ANY humor in any form debases someone. Maybe ban all humor. dunno
