Man who beheaded passenger on Greyhound bus, not a public threat
Quote:Vince Li, the man who was found not criminally responsible for beheading a man on a Greyhound bus in 2008, has been granted an absolute discharge.
The Manitoba Criminal Code Review Board ordered the discharge on Friday, saying Li, now known as Will Lee Baker, does not pose a significant safety threat.
Baker was found to have been suffering from untreated schizophrenia when he stabbed, beheaded and partially cannibalized Tim McLean, 22.
McLean's mother, Carol de Delley, a vocal critic of Canada's not criminally responsible laws and who believes Baker should remain in custody for life, posted to Facebook on Friday that she has nothing to say about his discharge.
"I have no comment today. I have no words," de Delley wrote.

Cannibalism is the new transgender.

Hopefully, someone does some street justice.

This is a very serious WOW! Maybe Californicated Snowflakes can now move to Canada. It's as crazy as they are.

The Canadians needed to get some people on the street that could keep track of their new Syrian immigrants. He's their new Enforcer.

RE: Man who beheaded passenger on Greyhound bus, not a public threat
Quote:Matt Logan, a former RCMP officer and forensic psychologist, said he thinks Baker's absolute discharge isn't in the public interest. He said he would have preferred to see a conditional discharge that included requirements for Baker's continued surveillance by mental health professionals.
Logan, who has never worked with Baker, said the man may have progressed well in an environment of support and structure, but he worries an absolute discharge could mean Baker won't access those resources anymore.
"I am concerned about a relapse. I'm concerned about a lack of insight in the taking of medications," he said.
"But the public interest looks at this and says, you know, 'Nine years? Nine years, really, for this kind of crime?' And I think we have to weigh that as well."
I feel bad for the first person who spills hot coffee on his lap while sitting beside him on the Greyhound bus.
I'm all for the rehabilitation of the mentally ill but this instance has a red flag. Can't imagine how the mother of the victim feels.
