you do realize that an unrepresented accused will cost the criminal justice system more money than one who is represented on legal aid? for example, there will more time in court as the judge explains the rules of evidence. there will be a series of mistrials - so the juries will have their time wasted as well. or in your world are we getting rid of judges and juries as well as defence counsel???

No but it would be much simpler if we could just throw the book at him and lock him up as we all know he is guilty as sin.

Actually we don't know that. Until he is assessed by a psychiatrist we don't know if he knew what he was doing was right or wrong. PLEASE understand I am NOT condoning what he apparently did but the concept of knowing what you have done is wrong is another very important part of our legal system.

Esco - what's with the new sig flag? Are you trying to suck up to that semi-obnoxious Brit?
I'm part British also mate, grew up in Blackburn.
I have 5 or 6 nationalities in my genes, so I'm a watered down version of "that" Brit ;)

That's not a video of him eating the corpse. That's a recording of the police scanner audio.

I question the accuracy of what they reported. It was dark, don't forget and the guy was at the BACK of the bus.
i wonder who released the police scanner audio. i think its no longer available.

It's strange they don't give out any details who that psycho was? Could it be a muslim? I mean i'm not being racist but thats their kind of way of punishment.
The acussed is Asian, like you whynot888. He most likely got the idea of decapitation from the videos from the Middle East of the decapitations of political prisoners circualating on the internet. Whynot888, since he is Asian like you, it still would not be appropriate to ask you why he did this, as that would be racist right? But wait, there are Asians who are of the Muslim faith too right? I think confusion arises when we generalize.

Recent reports say Li was having marital problems.
My theory (pure speculation):
Li found out his wife was having some sort of affair. Probably hacked into her email and found some messages and a pic of some guy. Confronts her and she says it's all over, in fact he's left town, just to a greyhound to xyz. Li takes his knife, drives or hitches or whatever to catch up with the bus. Thinks he recognizes the guy, and gets his revenge.
Either way I hope we find out the truth. It's hard to believe someone could be so truly insane to do something like that out of pure randomness.

I believe you btw, just saying there must be a link if it happened.
Wrong spelling perhaps???
Thomislav Dosen
A short abstract is available from the archives of the Hamilton Spectator (and the Toronto Star) - you can buy the whole article for $3.95. Click on the link - I didn't duplicate the abstract due to copyright.

My theory: victim had a "wide stance" per chance?

So who was this Li guy? Was he an immigrant? PR? Citizen? Born in Canada? Sounds like he was a big loser, crappy job, etc., and if I know Chinese women his wife was riding him about his failures in life.

Who thinks this was premeditated?

Did Li just happen to have this knife on the bus with him out of coincidence or always carried it with him or did he bring it along because he knew he wanted to do this for whatever reason to someone sometime on the trip?

He could have also been wearing the sunglasses because he wanted not to be so suspicious to the people as he was deep in thought about when he was going to strike.

Maybe Li found out his wife was having some sort of affair with a young white man? Possibly giving massages? That goes along with the speculation above and the asian on the totem pole discussion.

To me it sounds like this guy just snapped and went mental for whatever reason. He probably was always a headcase and was suppressing it until now. Doesn't sound like it was premeditated.

I do agree with you but I would like to know is what the hell was he doing with a large hunting knife?

I don't believe he was thinking about hunting animals. The only thing that doesn't sound that it was premeditated was who he was going to kill.

I believe he had every intention to kill someone on this trip whether it was on the bus or not.

Like I said before, he probably will not see the light of day again. Thanks goodness for that. Again, my thoughts and prayers to the victim's family.

maybe.... but chopping the guy's head off and walking around with it? stabbing the guy a million times? being all calm and blank about it? Maybe it was premeditated, a premeditated plan of a total nutcase.
