We are all hearing over here in Ireland and UK about the tragic killing of Tim McLean on the bus trip across Canada, the worlds gone crazy. I send my blessings and wishes to his family

Bad enough to lose a son but to have a reporter inform you before the cops is down right WRONG! Our cops need to step up and our media needs to back off.

R.I.P
Tim McLean

I was shocked to hear about it too. Have they figured out why the guy attacked yet?

I AGREE THERE PAWLY. I HAD A LITTLE RUN-IN WITH THEM ON THE WEEKEND, I ASKED COPS TO REMOVE A VERY DRUNK HOMELESS FROM THE FRONT STEPS AT WORK CAUSE WE HAD A FUNCTION IN THE DANCE HALL. BUT ALL THEY WERE INTERESTED IN WAS WHO WAS RENTING THE HALL. IT WAS A GROUP OF HEAVY METAL NAZI LOVERS. I'M NOT INTO ANYTHING LIKE THIS BUT THE SEMINAR WAS ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH. THERE WAS A LOT OF TATTOOS AND BLACK TSHIRTS AND LEATHER BOOTS. FIRST THING THE COPS SAY IS THAT I SHOULD INFORM THEM IF WE HAVE A GROUP LIKE THIS RENTING IN OUR BUILDING. THEN THE COPS ASKED ME FOR THE RENTORS INFORMATION. SORRY!!! I DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE OUT THAT INFO. THEY SAT AT THE END OF OUR PARKING LOT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS WATCHING AND THEY NEVER DID MOVE THAT DRUNK. HE WAS PASSED OUT ON THE LAWN WHEN I WENT HOME.
THIS GROUP WAS DOING NOTHING TO DRAW THE COPS ATTENTION EXCEPT WHAT THEY WERE WEARING AND SPORTING TATOOS. I CHECKED ON THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE THE LECTURE WAS ON AND THEY WERE PRETTY SERIOUS AND CAUSED NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. ONE OF THE QUIETEST AND CLEANEST GROUPS WE HAVE HAD IN THERE.
I HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW OUR ALDERMAN FOR THE AREA QUITE WELL AND I WILL BE TELLING HIM OF THIS. BELIEVE IT OR NOT THIS GUY MAKES THINGS HAPPEN. I DON'T WANT AN APOLOGY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT , JUST
COPS, DO YOUR JOBS !!! REMEMBER ? "TO SERVE AND PROTECT" !!!

WELL THATS ENOUGH FROM THE GRUMPY OLD MAN

@ Tiker ~~ We may never know. He is to be put under psychiatric observation. Reportedly he asked the judge at a preliminary hearing, "Kill me."

Also, Greyhound Canada is scrapping an advertising campaign reportedly costing millions of dollars. the slogan, "There is a reason you've never heard of bus rage."
