Never Go Greyhound (sad)

*Buslady* · 07-31-2008, 11:53 PM

Awful. I won't ever go by the hound ever as it is, this is just a good example why not to. There are so many nuts out there, they have no security scans before boarding and it's impractical. You take your chances here.

It's official, world's gone nuts! Been nuts for some time now.

The way the news article had it, makes me wonder if the kid was under some sort of witness protecting and the attacker was a hit man, sent out to send a message or something. The way witnesses said he was very calm while carving away and all.

What the hell is going on in the world? We got this same kinda behavior (beheadings and much more) happening all along the US-Mexican Border... the world is losing it's sanity!

and we wonder why we have boarders...hey lets keep letting more killers in without background checks.

I just had to take a Greyhound last week....They're not starving for the seedier gentry, they've got enough.

Crazy story.

*Buslady* · 08-01-2008, 10:09 AM

I kinda feel bad for Greyhound cos recently they've been trying to attract high class folks, with refurbing coaches, buying tons new MCIs and Prevosts - which the latter are higher class coaches; the new dog pain scheme on the sides.....it's sad.
This probably just killed their business along with that poor young man. God I feel bad for him, and I think about his mother. Her baby's gone.

Go to the LA terminal...it's scary. All the freaks are down there. You'd never wanna go near a 'hound with that lot.

*Sewer Bull* · 08-01-2008, 10:27 AM

I blame slasher movies and violent videos games for this incident.

*Brodie* · 08-01-2008, 12:14 PM

Also, Marlyn Manson, and the Rock and the Roll.

*Sewer Bull* · 08-01-2008, 12:27 PM

Who's The Roll? The Rock's unsuccessful younger brother?

May I ask why Greyhound is the devil?

*ToTheNines* · 08-01-2008, 04:37 PM

Why didn't anyone help the dude?

Because they where all Amish coming from Pennsylvania.
But yeah seriously the same thing came to my mind.

*Warhorse* · 08-02-2008, 11:41 AM

We don't know enough to really pass true judgement on the people that were there. I think it came down to shock. But you have to give them props, they barred the doors of the bus so the attacker couldn't escape.

Attacker is identified as 40 year old Vince Weiguang Li.

Victim was a 22 year old carnival worker identified as Tim McLean.

There is a full story at this web site.

Yeah since everyone is the same.

I never said that. Greyhound is a low end form of transportation. Unfortunantly they attracts mostly the folks of the unusual kind and down right dangerous.
If you want a discussion about Greyhound and it's service, bring it on. I know my business.

(jus teasin!)

You think that's bad you should see some of my friends on the freeway during rush hour. They can get pretty creative with the racial slurs, 90% of which being directed at people from Asia.
