First and foremost my deepest sympathy goes to Tims family. That being said to say Greyhound is responsible is ridiculous! They had nothing to do with the attack, we need to start holding the people responsible who did the crime not the bus company who provided the service they were paid for! So because the courts messed up we need to move the blame?? No we need to address why people get to use the “I went crazy” excuse! The RCMP on the other hand need to be re-educated on how to deal with extreme situations like this. If they had let some freak eat my sons remains I would be irate also!

I wonder too, why tear gas or some such incapacitating strategy wasn’t even attempted.

It does matter that Tim’s body was subjected to such barbarism. Perished or living, it does matter.

I won’t forget you Tim McLean.

this is absolutely devastating. its so disappointing and disgusting that this Mr Li character was not charged with anything. I wish the police would have shot him dead. It is appalling to me how “GOD” would tell someone to EAT another person! Mentally sane or not, this man should be in jail at the LEAST! Mr. Li is guilty and he should not be permitted to live after taking such a precious life.

With regard to criticizing the RCMP :
Quotes from “Glen”:
“I find it strange that certain people are criticizing the police’s actions in this case”
“but it is not the police’s function to execute people.”
“they do not have the liberty to let their personal feelings dictate their actions”

Well, remeber the Taser incidents in B.C.? I rest my case.
I am saddened to see a world renowned police force being brought down by some members of that force. The truth is that this happens in every force, and personally I feel that the recruitment of ex military into their ranks brings a police force closer to paramilitary force than law enforcement body.Policing and military are two completely different mentalaties and disciplines. Remember, Policing is by CONSENT of the people,paid for by the TAXES of the people and not an entity in its own right.

Yes, he WAS dead, but if you were his father wouldn’t you have wanted that animal disabled or killed BEFORE he ate your son’s eyes??

I find it strange that certain people are criticizing the police’s actions in this case. Mr. Mclean was dead. No action on the part of the police could bring back Mr. McLean. No doubt the police found the situation as horible as everyone else but they do not have the liberty to let their personal feelings dictate their actions. So under the circumstances, there job was to arrest Mr. Li using only the amount of force as necessary.The police did the right thing, if they had rushed the bus, they may have ended up having to shoot Li. I realize for some people they would not have a problem with this but it is not the police’s function to execute people. I suspect the same people that are criticizing the police now would be criticizing the police had the police shoot Li. I find that to be a common characteristic of arm chair quarterbacks.

One more thing, why did no one use the fire extinguisher that I am surely was near the bus driver? Spray that bastard, then knock him out with the cylinder.

Greyhound needs to be held accountable for the security of future passengers.

Judge & jury, there are 2 people on the bus, Tim & the monster, you draw your conclusions if you are the police. But I guess if you are the RCMP you only need to have a stapler in your hand.

While many people may share your perspective, I am not sure we want the police being both judge and jury.

I would agree with you Gloria, that the present system does tend to lead to frustration, as many people do believe that justice is not being done.

Certainly, there are many people purporting that Li is as much a victim as Tim. For most people, this is a difficult argument to grasp, let alone refute…. “really”… as much a victim as Tim?

I can’t believe the people of Winnipeg is allowing this to happen. RCMP should have shot him dead right there and then. I am disgusted in our RCMP and feel they are to blame for a lot that happened to the body.
In todays crime we need the death penalty back and change the laws when it comes to these insane crimes. I am very disappointed in Winnipegers for not doing more and make these changes happen.
