I feel like crying and throwing up... it just makes me nauseous... this stuff doesn't happen here. Oh my gosh. It's like a horror movie. SICK. I have ridden Greyhound buses.

Sadly there are deranged people all over the globe. No area is immune.
Obviously someone has to be severely "off" to do that to another person.

The world is full of sickos. Tink is right, it's happening everywhere.

This story and the one about the preacher in Alabama who killed his wife in 2004 and put her in the freezer both hit the news today. Not a good news day!!! http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/07/31/...zer/index.html

I understand there's a lot more big cities and a lot more people in America... but to be honest this kind of gruesome murder rarely happens in Canada, let alone here on the prairies. Big cities like Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver maybe, but I can't recall reading about anything like this and I read the news daily. I also read CNN daily and I read about things like this constantly going on in the world, but I really felt absolutely safe here in my little corner of the world. There are murders, sure, but mostly just stabbings that are drug-related. Maybe I'm just naive. There was the Robert Pickton thing a few years ago, a pig farmer in BC who had murdered 27 prostitutes from Vancouver and buried them around his farm. That was pretty much the biggest story throughout the country for a long long time.
It just has really shaken me up. It's all anyone talked about today, all day. I never really thought something like THAT would happen so close. I thought that would just happen in big cities. I started riding the Greyhound when I was 15 and 16, if I didn't have the money for gas to go see my boyfriend a few hours away, I'd just get on the bus.
It just really doesn't settle well with me. That could have been me, that could have been anyone I know who rides the bus. This kid was younger than me and on his way home, and he was murdered, decapitated, and gutted. And there were children on the bus.
I feel like erasing all of this but I think I'm going to post it
