Yeah I watched the whole thing lived. One of the most fucked up live events I remember seeing. It was great seeing the live hostages walk out on their own (I think I saw 4) but sad to see them drag the dead bodies out

Make sure to post the Apple Daily video as soon as it shows up!

it took over 4 hours for the RCMP to finally put a stop to Vince Weiguang Li beheading, mutilating, eating of his victim on that greyhound bus in manitoba and that was only after he attempted to escape the bus.

#1 priority is to never kill anyone, even the suspect. At that time, he was peaceful and hadn't harmed the hostages yet.

All this because he wanted his job back? oO

he must have known he wouldn't get his job back and was only doing this to show how unjustified he felt his dismissal was

i wonder what the story is behind his dismissal I can't imagine it being a simple case of extortion

Apparently he was part of a group of cops busted for extortion. They're all probably fall guys for even deeper corruption

Something about an "unjust" dismissal (who knows, extortion was mentioned) and loss of pension. I don't agree with him but I can "understand"... slightly.

One of the kids was set free in the day, but his parents stayed behind. Anyone know if they survived?

This is so sad. There will be a lot of explaining to do for the CEO of that tourist company.

They are partners of Super Trio!

jokes can be saved for another time. This is a serious matter with innocent lives lost.

What struck me on top of the attack is the way the cops strategized their tactic. The (young)cops seem fazed and not well coordinated. I am not a big fps fan but I would imagine there would be a better tactic to approach the hostage-takers. Perhaps they thought smashing the windows would draw the ex-cop's attention preparing an opening for snipers. Nonetheless, there is a lot of explaining to do.

Why would they have to answer for anything? A former cop hijacked their bus with an assault rifle, it's not like they had anything to do with it.
