Another vote against public transportation

July 31st, 2008

Maybe I am not helping the environment any, but rarely does someone with a Rambo knife pop up behind my seat and decapitate me.

Man decapitates passenger aboard Greyhound bus in Manitoba: witness
“When we came back on the bus, it was visible at the end of the bus he was cutting the guy’s head off and pretty much gutting him up,” said Caton.

The attacker ran at them, Caton said, and they ran out of the bus, holding the door shut as he tried to slash at the trio.

When the attacker tried to drive the bus away, the driver disabled the vehicle, Caton said.

“While we were watching the door, he calmly walks up to the front with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in front of us,” said Caton

Only way to stay safe is to minimize/cut out most contact with strangers and crowds and enclosed spaces. Seriously. Not that people you know are necessarily safer, but at least you may have some idea when they’re going to blow and know where they keep their weapons.

The fuck.

    I wanted to comment with something about how horrible humans are, but the whole time I was reading the article, I was only thinking how not sad I would be if the vic turned out to be Matt. If there’s a hell, I’m on my way!

    Now I can’t actually remember hearing of anyone in the UK being kiled on a bus (thought it must have happened somewhere), however the only times I have travelled on a bus in the past 15 years are the “park and ride” services in York and Chester - drop your car off just outside the city and there is an every 15-minutes bus service that goes back and forth from there.

    When my friends and I used to meet up every New Year’s Eve I used to walk the two miles to the pub and then two miles back again rather than take a bus for the journey there - basicaly because buses are full of F**kwits, mentalists and the general Great Unwashed of Britain (and some who fall into all three categories).

    • I don't live on the moon
      Drink martinis in the afternoon
      I don't pretend to make
      The world feel better
      I don't live on the moon
      No I, I don't live on the moon

    • It just ain't fair this
      thing called loving
      When one's still there
      and the other feels nothing
      I would have done anything for you
      I still love you, baby I adore you
