I wonder what's on his reading list?
Or who he listens to on the radio? Or maybe he's just nuts.
Knife-wielding man beheads fellow passenger on Canadian bus
27 minutes ago

OTTAWA (AFP) — A passenger traveling across Canada's Western plains on a bus stabbed, gutted and decapitated a man seated next to him, and then taunted police with the head, a witness told media Thursday.

The victim, believed to be 18 years old, had been sleeping with headphones on his ears before he was repeatedly stabbed in the chest by the man with a "big Rambo knife," witness Garnet Caton told public broadcaster CBC.

But at least They are avoiding a knee jerk reaction toward knife registration.

Day decries bus stabbing as one-of-a-kind in Canadian history
2 hours ago

LEVIS, Que. — Public Safety Minister Stockwell is expressing shock at what he calls a "horrific" bus stabbing that he's calling one-of-a-kind in Canadian history.(snip)

Day says he wouldn't even entertain the notion of registering knives as dangerous weapons, noting that millions of kitchen knives alone are likely sold each year.

3. Good Lord ! I just don't know what to say about that.
"Public Safety Minister Stockwell is expressing shock at what he calls a "horrific" bus stabbing... But he says such an incident is, thankfully, extremely rare..."

Well, let's fucking hope so!

This reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones' character in "No Country for Old Men", when he was in the diner with his deputy reading an article about some senseless savagery and just not being able to comprehend how such things happen.
