  Wow this is the most disturbing thing I've seen in the news in the last little while

  "PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. – Police haven't confirmed it, but a passenger says a gruesome attack on a Greyhound bus near Portage la Prairie, Man., has left a young man stabbed to death and decapitated and dozens of passengers in shock."

  fuck me.

  It always amazes me when you hear reports of people being stabbed 50, 100 times. Wtf.

  Just try doing the stabbing motion 50 times, its beyond belief

  • :(– Jaline1/4

    cos I mean, i can totally understand stabbing someone 10 or less times, ya know, but 50 is a little crazy for me– set2/4

    Anyone who does it is a psycho.– Jaline3/4

    of course of course, I just cannot understand the sheer amount of stabs– set4/4

  "Caton said the attacker appeared "totally normal" earlier in the journey after boarding around Brandon, and chatted with a young woman as he smoked a cigarette during a break.

  But when he got back on the bus, he moved his belongings from the front to a seat beside the victim in the back and about 20 minutes later began attacking the man, said Caton. "He didn't say anything to the victim at all," said Caton."

  • Sounds like something out of a horror movie. fugged up!– canuck1/4

  fucking insane! why would all the passengers just let the guy stab someone 40 times!!!! i mean it's 37 against 1! that is just completely fucked!

  • getting stabbed 40 times doesn't really take that long...– TheBlueOne1/9

    Its a good point but 99.99% of people are complete pussies– set2/9

    When it comes down to it most people are cowards.– canuck3/9

    they seemed to stand there long enough to count though,– moth4/9

    yeah, exactly moth. totally fucked. i would have at least swung my fucking bag at the psycho.– lvl_135/9

    I was wondering the same. The bus driver probably told everyone to get off (as they were running off), but still...– Jaline6/9

    Yeah like any of you lot would risk getting stabbed for a nobody. Pfft internet tough guys– modern7/9

    Man.. I would have get off there as quickly as I can.. No Joke.– elektro8/9

    As if any of you would have done anything had u been confronted with it in real life.– thestevo9/9

  Knives are far scarier weapons psychologically than guns...most people freeze when confronted with them...they freeze when confronted with violence in general...

  • I would be more frightened of a gun than a knife.– Jaline1/2

    knife is way worse, can have your eyeballs knifed out for starters– modern2/2

  "The bystander effect (also known as bystander apathy, Genovese syndrome, diffused responsibility or bystander intervention) is a psychological phenomenon in which someone is less likely to intervene in an emergency situation when other people are present and able to help than when he or she is alone."

  I wouldn't be surprised if mental illness comes to the fore here.

  • most likely...– TheBlueOne1/3

    This guy clearly had issues. sad part is they won't charge him much since he is/was not all there. The system here sucks.– canuck2/3

    That's the one thing I am more conservative about. We need to be tougher on crime.– Jaline3/3

  That's half true Jaline.
  If someone get's a leg cut off by a train - it takes one person to take the lead and act - that person can then easily command action from another person... like "you - get a belt".

  If the situation is a nutter with a knife or a gun though - I'll wager you'd fucking leg it!

  • yup– Jaline1/4

    it's not bystander apathy anymore when your life is in danger.– moth2/4

    It depends too. Like if there are a bunch of strong people around, or if there is some kind of weapon available.– Jaline3/4

    But it's very in-the-moment, so you never know. Most people will exit promptly.– Jaline4/4

• TheBlueOne

  And the sad thing is, unlike the movies, the bad guy usually doesn't brandish the weapon in front of you. Most people who get stabbed don't even know they are getting stabbed.

  • that's true– Jaline1/9

    (I think)– Jaline2/9

    yeah..it is..– TheBlueOne3/9

    I'd probably beg to differ with that statement, fuckin hell, im sure the guy knew he was getting stabbed– set4/9

    I know what you mean though, i have a friend who got stabbed and thought he was punched until he saw the blood– set5/9

    I think TheBlueOne is talking about the initial stab.– Jaline6/9

    Exactly. You're friend thought he was being punched.– TheBlueOne7/9

    yup, thats what I said...lol– set8/9

    my dad got stabbed a number of times and didnt know either, until he saw the blood.

  wasnt someone asking about greyhounds from canada to kansas city last week?

  • I've taken them a few times. Not that bad. I was thinking about taking one next week...but may not for a while.– Jaline1/3

    the safest will be in the immediate future as security will be higher.– jaylarson2/3

    statistically speaking
    probabilities. or at least a naive understanging of them.– jaylarson3/3
