No Mel, it sounds like you wouldn't help. I don't know how anyone could help but wonder what happened to the rest of the passengers while a fellow passenger is being stabbed to death? Mel is sick of hearing about it & said to get a life to those of us wondering. someone coming to the rescue would have just put themselves into great danger. People are saying that others should have helped Tim? come on people!! - after one or two stabbings he was already gone. As for the killer, he needs to have the same thing happen to him. My heart goes out to Tim and his friends and family. Get a life and hopefully you won't ever be in that position because I'm sure you wouldn't help either. Have you ever heard of shock, fear for your own life and your kids, etc. I am so sick of hearing people say why didn't anyone help Tim. So sorry for Tim McLean, my heart and prayers goes out to him, family and friends. My most sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families of all involved. Please leave a condolence message for the family of Tim McLean, here, who's bright life ended so tragically. I can't imagine the terror that these passengers went through, having to witness this horrific event. Friends of McLean bonded together to grieve for a man described as a "sweet man," a "ladies man," a "bright and bubbly guy who who was always out for fun." One friend, who traveled with him had nicknamed McLean "Tiny Tim." That was his last communication with his son. Just as the bus was leaving Brandon, McLean sent a text message to his father, asking if he could come home for a night, Tim McLean, Sr., told CBS news. "I believe he was having some marital problems." When he met with Li to hire him back as a newspaper distributor, he said, "you could almost read bet ween the lines" from the way Li was talking "that there was something not right there." His delivery employer, Vincent Augert said, Li worked for a MacDonald's in Edmonton as well as delivering newspapers for a distribution firm. Pollack ordered a psychological evaluation of Li pending Li having the opportunity to speak to an attorney. Li said few words and nodded his head when Judge Rocky Pollack asked him if he was exercising his right not to speak. On Friday, a bruised and bandaged Li appeared in court in Portage La Prairie, where he was charged with second degree murder. Tim McLean, who had boarded the bus in Edmonton, was a summer carnival worker for the past three years at Vancouver's Pacific National Exhibition. The passengers, many of whom were badly shaken by what they witnessed, were taken to a hotel in Brandon, Manitoba, and were given crisis counselling.Ĭanton also indicated that right before the attack, Li had just changed seats to sit next to his victim. The attack appeared to be unprovoked and it is thought the killer did not know his victim. It was just like he was a robot or something," he added. "He calmly walks up to the front with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in front of us," Mr Caton said. The guy just took a knife out and stabbed him, started stabbing him like crazy and cut his head off," said Garnet Caton, 26, a passenger on the Edmonton-to- Winnipeg bus. "He didn't do anything to provoke the guy. He was finally apprehended at 1:28 am after Li tried to break out of a bus window. Men, women and children who witnessed the attack were in shock, crying, some becoming physically ill as they waited by the roadside for several hours while police tried to get Li to exit the bus. The attack occurred approximately 12 miles west of Portage La Prairie, on a desolate plains stretch of the Trans Canada Highway. The Greyhound bus had made it's last stop in Brandon, Manitoba on a long journey that originated in Edmonton, Alberta and headed for Winnipeg. The random attack appeared to be unprovoked according to several witnesses. At this time LE does not believe the victim, Tim McLean, 22 and his assailant knew each other. After the driver pulled over, the bus driver, a passenger and the driver of a truck trapped Li inside the bus as passengers fled the bloody scene. Late in the evening on Wednesday, July 30th, approximately three dozen passengers watched, screaming in horror as Vince Weiguang Li, 40, suddenly started stabbing a sleeping man beside him 40 to 60 times, decapitating him then waiving the head at fellow bus travelers.
