From the BBC:
A man on a Greyhound bus travelling across the Canadian Prairies has killed and decapitated a fellow passenger.
An eyewitness said the victim was stabbed 50 or 60 times by the man sitting next to him, who then severed his head with a large knife.
The attack continued as passengers fl ...[text shortened]... on't know why, but this tale sends cold shivers down my spine. What the hell is going on?

This is exactly what I meant about being constantly alert and on guard while using public transit in the violent city people thread. It never ceases to amaze me how people can just go to sleep or get lost in their music or reading a book on a bus or train. That person next to you might be a nut job ready to snap. I'm not a badass, but I can guarantee you, I would have took that psycho straight to h*ll with me.
Believe that!

It is indescribibly frightening, and most self-defence experts will tell you that even if you can overpower such an individual, you will almost certainly suffer significant injury in doing so.
Don't be so quick to judge those who fled. We would all hope we have the moral calibre to intervene, but in reality, this is a situation that is out of our control unless we are armed. Sad, but true.

into the air, hang there for a few seconds pondering how exactly to deliver,
and then decapitate the man with a swift and millimeter-precise side kick to
his throat.
Hay-yaaaa!
Yeah, he wouldn't even have known what hit him. 😏

What I meant was if I had been the guy that psycho attacked, he may well have killed me, but he'd be just as dead. That's not bravado, that's a fact. Uncle Sam spendt some serious dollars training me, believe me, they didn't go to waste.

I know a few who could probably make a fight of it, if they saw it coming.
I am not in that 0.1%, and on one of the occasions I refer to, I wouldn't have seen it coming in a hundred re-takes. Thankfully, he didn't want to go to jail for life, but if he hadn't had that concern, I wouldn't be typing this! 🙂
