The mysterious appeal of bus travel seemed to lose a great deal of luster last summer when Chinese immigrant Vince Li was arrested in Canada for decapitating a fellow passenger and subsequently cannibalizing his corpse on a Greyhound bus en route to Winnipeg. The Canadian justice system similarly lost some of it’s sheen this afternoon after ruling that the slayer who carried out the grisly killing was indeed too sick in the head to be held criminally accountable.
While Li is expected to undergo years of counseling for slicing up his fellow passenger, jail time doesn’t appear to be in the cards for the Manitoba Massacrer. In the meantime, nearly every passenger taking public transportation is taking great pains to ensure they don’t fall asleep and fall victim to that creepy guy who decided to sidle up next to them despite the fact there’s two empty seats three rows away.
