Man..talk about Jason Vorhees coming to life. If you haven't heard a young 22 year old male was decapitated by a deranged assailant on a Greyhound traveling in Canada. The two parties appeared not to have known each other. A complete senseless and unprovoked violent act. I have no words. Check out the video of a witness relaying what occurred. Again, in the immortal words of Prince Rogers Nelson-Mommy, why does everybody have a bomb? Here's more, courtesy of the BBC:
Bus beheading suspect in court
Suspect Vince Weiguang Li in custody
Vince Weiguang Li has been charged with second-degree murder
A man suspected of beheading a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Canada has appeared in court in Manitoba charged with the killing.
Vince Weiguang Li, 40, is accused of second-degree murder. The motive for the attack is not known.
Mr Li said nothing in court but nodded when asked if he was exercising his right to remain silent.
Police have not yet formally identified the victim but friends have named him as 22-year old Tim McLean.
Mr Li, of Edmonton, Alberta, remained silent throughout the hearing in Portage la Prairie.
Police have offered no motive for the attack and prosecutors have requested a psychiatric assessment.
Mr Li will appear in court again on Tuesday after having an opportunity to speak to a lawyer.
Tributes
Eyewitnesses on board the bus, which was travelling through a desolate stretch of Canada's vast prairies, said the attacker stabbed the person sitting next to him 50 or 60 times.
He then severed his head with a large knife, reportedly brandishing the head to terrified passengers.
Friends of Mr McLean have paid tribute to him.
William Caron, whose brother was due to meet Mr McLean from the bus, told the Canadian Press that he had always tried to avoid trouble.

Another story that has been brewing and is more insipid than tragic, revolves around a recent appearance by Senator Obama in Florida. During a townhall gathering in the "sunshine state," Obama was heckled by three young brothers who may or may not have had some affiliation with a site entitled, UhuruNews.com. The badgering encompassed holding up a banner reading, “What about the black community, Obama?” and chanting unintelligible comments. What the hell is it with some Black folk? As a Republican of color, I still know how to play my position to see that history is made. And talk about being disingenuous-why not take such a stance during the Republican and Democratic debates months ago? Why not pose such a question to the other candidates that are (and were) in the running. Incredible. And lastly, can't these knuckleheads fathom that Obama has to represent a myriad of interests including those that pertain to people of color? Can he get the keys to the White House first? I suggest that our readers bombard these idiots with STFU emails-just a suggestion. Here's the exchange in question:
