Greyhound did an excellent job of handling all of this - props to them. Many companies don't have a plan on how to act when a crisis happens. |
+1 many companies would have lost their heads over an incident like this |

AN ETHICIST'S TAKE
Don't fault Greyhound passengers for fleeing

Special to the Star
Reading about events on that Greyhound Bus in Manitoba is enough to make an ordinary person sick. So it's impossible to get inside the minds of passengers awakened by a sound more horrible than anything they had ever heard. We're told they bolted to the door, in one case tossing a toddler out of harm's way, in another almost running over a terrified senior in haste.
Everyone who has ever ridden a bus will ask themselves, "What would I have done? Would I have tried to stop the killer?"
Answering requires the ability to weigh the risks and benefits associated with intervening. That's easy enough in your living room on a Saturday morning, but this event occurred in the dead of night, with no warning whatsoever.
To expect ordinary people, under those circumstances, to be capable of calmly weighing the risks and benefits is to ask the impossible.
Even allowing for that, passengers made the right decision.
On the "benefit" side of the equation, media reports contend that by the time passengers knew what had happened, the victim had been stabbed several times, and there was blood spurting all over the bus.
He was well beyond saving and nothing could have been gained by rushing the attacker other than securing him for arrest – a feat that was accomplished by exiting and sealing the bus.
Which leads to the "risk" side of the equation.
Even in their stunned state, it was immediately obvious to other passengers that the attacker appeared not in a normal state of mind. Garnet Caton, a passenger close to the attack, reports:"He looked totally calm. "
Anyone standing in a fountain of blood, repeatedly thrusting a knife into someone's throat, and being totally calm while doing so, is not sane. Calm, reasoned intervention with one so deranged was going to have no effect. The only possible intervention would have been physical, leading undoubtedly to more pathos, more death.
Faced with almost no possibility of doing any real good, scared out of their minds, Greyhound passengers on a dark road outside the sleepy city of Brandon did exactly the right thing.
As a result, only one man died, and his life was not within their power to save. Thanks to their actions, the attacker is in jail.
They did what they could.
No one should expect more of anyone, even themselves, than that. |

Why would someone in prison do the right thing...
Prison is full of murderers and rapists...
This jackoff is just one of them...
As sad as it is that it happened, Tim was an adult...
And as far as I know, you have to do something to a child before other prisoners will want to hurt you...
However, I think this dick will go the insanity way so he'll never even go to jail... |

The ed thing about this is the fact that there going to charge him for second degree murder due to the fact it was comletely random.
correct me if i am wrong but second degree is a period of 10 - 25 years maximum. Obviously he will get the full period, but still...
that makes him 65 or so when he gets out
Hopefully someone will murder him right away. |
First degree murder would get him mandatory life with eligibility of parole after 25 years.
Second degree would get him mandatory life as well with eligibility of parole after 10-25 years (the judge decides that).
If he pleads insanity than he goes to a mental institution...however, like someone else said, if he's deemed to be healthy again he gets out :nervous: |
