yes, the bus beheading guy is asian

This is a crazy story that people are all over this morning... In Canada, Police have charged 40-year-old Vince Weiguang Li with second-degree murder in connection with the stabbing and beheading death of his seatmate on a Greyhound Canada bus: Suspect in bus beheading identified.

The victim, identified by the Canadian Press as 22-year-old Tim McLean of Winnipeg, Manitoba, was repeatedly stabbed and then decapitated by Li, who was sitting next to him on a Greyhound bus yesterday.

Nobody knows why the hell he did it, or what prompted the attack. All they know is, this guy went crazy with a "large butcher-type knife." And when that happens, you get the hell out of there. Passengers exited the bus, and a trucker who stopped apparently provided wrenches and crowbars to several of them so they could keep the suspect on the bus until police came.

According to the story, Li was taken into custody after an hours-long standoff, during which he remained in the bus with the victim's body. He was eventually seized by police after he broke a window and attempted to jump from the vehicle. Crazy.
