"TORONTO - A 40-year-old man who witnesses said stabbed and beheaded his seat mate on a Greyhound bus in Canada made his first court appearance Friday, while police offered no motive for the savage attack against the 22-year-old carnival worker. " --from the Associated Press
Well, allow me to offer a motive. This is every Greyhound passengers dream. Sitting that close to someone, probably for 14, 15, 16 hours, unable to sleep due to the seat configuration and the noise and the constant stops and speeches by the driver is enough to drive anyone to savagery. The richest people on a Greyhoud are those with two seats to themselves.
I've witnessed two verbal altercations on Greyhounds, altercations where an entire busload of people shit forth their anger and frustration onto one unlucky, inconsiderate, damnable bastard. These buses make people uncontrollably, incurably angry.
I almost wish I had been on this particular bus when the particular incident occured. I bet the head fell into the floor and rolled towards the toilet in the back. I wonder if I could have kept from giggling. |
