CRIME IN CANADA

Now this is a sick and twisted news clip. If you do not have the stomach for really sick things, do not read the article. In short this article points out that a man was murdered on a greyhound bus.

Maybe I’m just extra critical but it seems that there is nothing anybody could have done to stop this from happening. Or is it because people were too busy trying to get the bus to stop and running away from it? Is it the fact that in the North American society people are more worried about their well being then in trying to save a persons life?

I have ridden the greyhound bus often to numerous locations in both the U.S and Canada. My experiences for the most part have been very positive. Except for a few times when I’ve noticed that a lot of crazy people ride the bus, other than that, it’s a pretty good experience.

Actually CJG according to a report today on the CBC a passenger did try to stop the bus but by the time the driver responded it was too late!

Here are two articles none prove your point.

If such an article exists feel free to post.

I listened to the interview with Garnet Carlson yesterday on the CBC, the passenger who tried to get the driver to stop the bus.

Tried to stop the bus is not the same thing as trying to stop the murder.

With all due respects what would you CJG have done if some miscreant was busy chopping off another passenger's head? I would have gotten off the bus and made sure any friends or family with me did so as well!


As it stands I would hate to be the Risk Management director for Greyhound right now!
