This is a horrendous story

I'm trying to visualize this, but do I really want to?

1. Yeah, that is some crazy shit.

:wow:

:scared:

2. What the...

Hello random psycho.

[loveable liberal]

3. maybe this guy has something to do with all the feet....

washing up on Newfoundland shores....

[ghostsofgiants]

4. The feet were washing up in B.C. not Newfoundland.

Wrong side of the country.

[InternalDialogue]

5. Wrong side of the country now, but...

he's been using the bus, no?

[ghostsofgiants]

7. He only made it to Manitoba...

He's still half the country away.

6. That is horrendous. I can't imagine being on that bus

how awful for the man who died and for the witnesses. It makes me wonder if the guy chose to move his seat next to the sleeping man simply because he was more vulnerable.

8. And here I thought Canadians only got violent when they played hockey.

9. See? If everyone on that bus had a gun...

10. Or Samurai Bunco Swords

:woohoo: :hi:

[Redstone]

12. And don't you bet that THAT "concept" is flying around the idiot side of the Internet today!

I'm not EVEN going to check to see if that's so.

14. I just figured I'd beat them to the punch.

:hi: Redstone!

[Redstone]

15. Midlo! You done good with that post.

16. Don't bother

It's already warming up in LBN.

This whole story is just bizarre. And here I thought Canadians were still relatively sane. I can't imagine what the poor people who were on that bus are feeling right now. I would definitely have had to burn my clothing.

17. Yes, a horrible situation, and leave it to the Gun Nuts to exploit it. They're utterly

shameless, and do not have a single shred of human decency among the lot of them.

What, do you suppose, IS it about Gun Nuts that makes them care more about guns than ANYTHING else in the entire world?

-They care more about GUNS than about friends.
-They care more about GUNS than about family.
-They care more about GUNS than about the good of American society in general.
-They care more about GUNS than about human life in general (there's ALWAYS an excuse when people get murdered).

I will never, EVER usderstand the psychology of a Gun Nut. They're so much more obsessed, by several orders of magnitude, than the most rabid of born-again holy roller religious types you'll EVER see.

11. Ouch

Crazy canucks.



Good, it takes the world's eyes off of the crazy Americans for a few minutes.

13. Colwell praised the "extraordinary" level-headedness and bravery of the bus driver and passengers.

Well, every passenger except for one.

18. Level headed was a poor choice of words.
