Remember when the chinese guy killed Tim McLean on the Greyhound Bus in Canada?

Why did Canada let him go just a few years later, and let him change his identity?

They should have jailed him for life and/or sent him back to where he came from.

Tim's poor family.

There was no justice for them.

It happened almost 16 years ago, on July 30.

Don't remember this at all.

That eyewitness was kind of cute. Wonder what happened to him and what he looks like today, 16 years after ??

It was a horror story, R2.

And what kind of "justice" was that for the victim, that they let this psycho killer cannibal free only 7 years later?

That's Canada.

I'm surprised someone from the family hasn't tried to kill him

Canada has a pitiful justice system

He really was!

Poor thing was so traumatized, though.

You can see he had such a hard time forming his thoughts and getting his words out, just trying to recall that horrific scene.

For some, the story of Vince Li — who killed a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in 2008 but was found not criminally responsible — ended when he was given an absolute discharge Friday.

Not so for Kayli Shaw, who was one of the passengers on the bus when Tim McLean was beheaded.

In a statement emailed to CBC Sunday, Shaw said she's afraid Li, whose name is now Will Baker, could stop taking medication for the schizophrenia that led to the fatal incident.

His absolute discharge means Baker no longer has conditions imposed by the Criminal Code Review Board for his not criminally responsible designation, which used to include taking his medication under supervision, disclosing his address to his medical team and having no contact with the victim's family.

"This is not right. Mr. Baker is free. I am not free," she wrote. "I live with things everyday."

Shaw was 22 when the attack happened, the same age as McLean.

She was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after the incident, but says she believes the system was much kinder to Baker.

"The decisions made by the medical review board seemingly reflects [that] those with that severity of mental illness are able to walk away without much thought of others," she wrote. "Yet for those who have been affected by other mental health issues are unable to get 'fixed and able to walk away' without such being used against them."

Shaw, another passenger and Tim McLean Sr. all filed lawsuits against the bus line, the Canadian government, RCMP and Li in 2011. They later had to drop the RCMP from the suit in 2013, and cross out a section that alleged Canada "failed to ensure the safety of passengers on board buses travelling between provinces."

In 2015, both passengers dropped their suits against Greyhound as well, after the bus line said it could not be sued under Manitoba's system of no-fault vehicle insurance.

"I have to go through the abuses of the persons in power of making decisions on my life and the risk placed upon me," she wrote Sunday.

"Yet a man that is forced to seek help gets to be known as not a risk."

I used to visit Canada a lot when I was younger, but haven’t been back after this attack, not because of this one incident, but because the country seemed to have taken a dark turn.

OF COURSE it is. Such a waste. The victim had total BDF. You can tell the Chinese guy is a wannabe white incel.

This would make a good tv series. No more than 3 8 episode seasons. I'm looking at you Netflix.

I'm glad he chose the name "Will Baker."

It's easier to find him now.

Just look for a chinese guy with a white man's name.

I'm also glad that his new identity was outed by the media.

The public deserves to know where this fucking creep is at all times, so they can keep tabs on him.

I feel like randomly beheading someone is something you should never be released for. Canada is also where those English kids who murdered a toddler were sent to live new lives after being released.
