There are many reasons I hate riding the bus, but until today, beheading wasn’t one of them.
Canadian police charge man over bus beheading
When Mr Caton and two others returned to the bus to check on the victim, he said they saw the attacker “cutting the guy’s head off and gutting him”. Moments later, police surrounded the bus and arrested the man after a nearly three-hour standoff, an official said. “He was taunting police with the head in his hand out the window,” said Mr Caton.
(Nothing like witnessing a violent crime to thrust you into the spotlight where you belong, eh Mr Caton?)
But wait, there’s more…
Teen sexually assaulted girl on school bus, police say
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s office said Branden Allen, 18, a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy were arrested on charges of sexual battery and false imprisonment. Authorities say the two younger male teens boarded the parked bus and acted as lookouts as Allen “sexually battered the victim despite her resistance and protestations.”
BONUS!! Priceless comment left on another blog in response to this news story – Slightly edited for rambling:
