By now you have probably heard of the horrendous bus slaughter. Where a man apparently went ape shit and attacked a sleeping man, stabbing him multiple times and eventually beheading him. Seriously, someone did not get beat enough as a kid. Wow. What’s also unfortunate, is Greyhound was currently running an advertising campaign that stated, There’s a reason you’ve never heard of “bus rage.” All of the ads are currently being pulled from publications.

I don’t know why, but I cannot begin to wrap my head around this guy. I also read today he stabbed the kid in the neck 50-60 times, and while on the bus and everyone was outside - he cut off pieces of the victim like nose and ears, and even ate some of them.

They are giving him a psychiatric evaluation. Seriously, do you really need to evaluate someone like this? If you do crazy things, you are crazy. You don’t need a professional to tell you that.

Crazy needs to be locked up anyway. I feel so bad for the victim’s family. Who would ever have guessed? I am pretty jaded with the world, but this story still just blows me away.

Ad campaign is unfortunate indeed. I don’t even understand the demographic. Commuting on greyhound perhaps?
