Unbelievable that this is even an issue that requires a petition. Society must be protected from this kind of person and the strongest possible message must be sent to all these radicals that mental problems or not, their freedom is forever gone when they commit this kind of act.

hang this guy, why bother with him costing us money and risking our safety. Cmon. Tim didnt get a second chance why would he. Major mental illness. lock him up for good and subject him to test after test.

Maybe by keeping these kinds of people locked up forever ,it would deter some from pleading insanity and stop them from doing the crime in the first place.

I understand many people have mental illnesses but to have somebody this ill and deranged given the chance to once again be on our streets is unacceptable. I cannot even imagine the pain this mother has had to endure!

he should be in jail
and they should have medal dectors when u go out to bord the bus like the airport
(1) “What the judge said is he is not criminally responsible,…(2)BUT, he is responsible for this crime, and I have seen no one deny this fact.”
Only in the realm of law can those two statements be seen as different.

I agree that he had a problem and he may not have really “known” what he was doing, however I also truly and strongly believe that the doctors should give him help, BUT be locked up for the rest of his life, and never let out.
>It pains me to think that this happened only 45 minutes away from where I live and how many times I have ridden a greyhound bus into Winnipeg.In the news stories when you hear about “their last stop at a gas station in a small town” —- that gas station is literally 2 and a half blocks from my town- in a safe and happy community.Everytime I drive down that highway (which is alot) I think about it and the McLean family.

He is ultimately responsible
He is responsible for his mental health
He is resposible for not taking his medication
He is resposible for deceiving others
He is responsible for not seeking help
He is responsible for not taking treatment
He is responsible for not telling other’s about his voices
He is resposible not his demon’s or the devil
He must be consider a dangerous offender for the rest of his life
he is dangerous to the public at large
He can not be trusted

This monster should never see day light again! If he is ever be released, residents all over Canada should make his life a living hell, and torture him until he flees back to China because he will surely do it again.
why wouldn’t he be responsible for such a cold blooded crime??? he also had intention of killing someone and that’s why he was armed with a knife and scissors.
How is it that no one tried to stop him?
How is it that no one tried to help Tim?
It is safe to say that Tim lost his life so that the rest of the people on the bus could live because it could have been anyone of them.
Why didn’t the police shoot this monster when they were watching him mutilating the body?
Was this supposed to be a horror movie?
Why is the killer living on tax payers dollars?
I cant find answers to these questions
To Tim’s family and friends, my deepest sympathy to you, I support you 100% and I support Tim’s law 100%
Eye for an Eye. Throw him in a pit with savage dogs and let them eat their way out. We don’t need this animal in our world. He is a monster and a risk to society. Those who believe he “did not know what he was doing” can join him. How can someone do such a thing and not know? Can people really “black out” and commit such a violent murder? B.S. Never let this creature breath our air or walk this world again… it is not a right, its a privilage, one he does not deserve. Burn in hell Li along with those willing to give you a chance.

Let justice be done!
Their should be a minimum detention period to ensure the individual receives the treatment they need.
truly sad, somethings gotta be done to give justice to families with loved ones. Regardless of a mental defect… wheres the justice?
i miss you timmy, you taught me my manners, and because of you, i am me. <3 rest in peace

I watched the documentary…and was completely horrified that the police sat idly by, while this tragedy was occurring.
Why did they not shoot him??
Where is the justice in this situation??

It is scary to know how close to me all this happened. I know people who know Tim, he was family and a friend to them. A beautiful life was cut short. R.I.P
I support keeping this animal in prison.
