Wow... even more horrible than originally thought. WOW.

WTF?

I think I'm going to load silver bullets in my gun from now on. That way if I decide to murder someone I can claim insanity because I thought they were a warewolf. Plus I'll keep a wooden stake for Vampires too. Out of the mental institution in no time and back on with my life.

Buy some Dungeons and Dragons books. It's a cheaper insanity defence.

I wondered what you were talking about...Um...there was a busload of people there,any two or three of them could have stopped this if they had any balls. I could have stopped him without a gun but I guess I'm too big of a coward. Besides,it sounds as if this was a sudden attack,this guy would have already stabbed you before you even had a chance to pull. If you weren't the victim and you shot the guy,you probably wouldn't have been able to save McLean anyway. Who knows,maybe you could have,fuck in reality,for all you know a couple of the passengers may have been packing but were too afraid to actually DO anything. Anyway,it didn't take a gun to stop that shit,all that was needed were some balls!

It definitely was a sudden attack. The reports that I've read say that the attacker pulled his knife and stabbed the victim repeatedly. Before anyone had a clue what was going on, he was dead. All that a gun would have done in this case is eliminate the need for a trial and stop the dismemberment. It's not the best example for concealed carry.

Legal concealed carry is very rare in Canada. It exists, but the requirements make it an impossibility for the average citizen to obtain.

I don't believe a gun would have saved the kids life. Sadly. It would have ended nut-bar's though, perhaps.

I wouldn't blame the other peeps on the bus for not stopping this. I've dealt with people in psychotic rages. They are unstoppable. They are frightening. With situations like that, you don't put yourself in harms way unless in self defense. The kid was beyond repair. And, there was someone that barricaded nut-job in the bus and was prepared in case he got out. (in older reports) But who knows how many older/younger people were on that bus. Certain people ride buses.... I wouldn't expect grammie to stop the violent act. I'd get them off the bus.

My only hope it that this guy doesn't get out of long term care. He'll be in lock down in some institution. No one will want him out. If he made any effort to hurt himself, I don't know who would help him.

Tmall · 03-06-2009, 09:03 AM

And one other thing...

If you want me to believe you'd face off against a psychotic man with a knife, while he has the advantage of taking you on one at a time because of the design of the bus, and all the guys behind you would do is slow you down as you're getting stabbed 15-20 times, then you're almost as crazy as he is.

It's nice that you'd have wanted to do something. I'd have wanted to do something too.. But, my e-penis isn't so big that I don't realize it would have taken chuck norris to have ended that situation without a gun.

yeah I thought about that several times... if I was on the bus what would I have done... I firmly believe i'd have done something... I nearly got stabbed in Portland when a guy pulled a knife on my friend and tried to stab him in the back... ended up with just a little cut on my side that didn't even leave a scar... and a slice on my finger that took 4 stitches...

thing is... in that situation... for me at least... it was more just reaction... I didn't think it through... and honestly... think'n about it after... it scared the shit out of me... think'n what could have happened...

but yeah ya never know what you'd do till you do it... and would I have done the same in my situation if it wasn't my friend he was going after... honestly... probably not... just wouldn't have the same protective reaction...
