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!

mx100 08-23-2010 05:57 AM

watched the whole thing starting from 7:00 pm.

very intense and saddening to see dead bodies being dragged out.

RIP.

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.

^ this time it took 11 hrs, 45hrs to smash the windows, and everybody wonders why they didn't kill him while he was standing at the door in the day time... :\

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

ZenZa 08-23-2010 06:15 AM

he was an ex-cop

pure.life 08-23-2010 06:17 AM

reports say his son is a cop as well.

StylinRed 08-23-2010 06:28 AM

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

SkinnyPupp 08-23-2010 06:34 AM

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.

Zyzz 08-23-2010 07:05 AM

wow just saw this on the news

were the tourists killed? or the chinese diplomats?

cause according to the picture it saids all the diplomats were killed

SkinnyPupp 08-23-2010 07:09 AM

Chinese diplomats?

They were all tourists man

Vale46Rossi 08-23-2010 07:11 AM

In the end 7 tourist were killed and the ex cop so 8 deaths

RIP

bbbj 08-23-2010 07:12 AM

Last update about 30 min ago was that 6 chinese confirmed dead I believe.

SkinnyPupp 08-23-2010 07:15 AM

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

danned 08-23-2010 07:17 AM

If there were dunkin donuts near the area I bet you the americans would not even show

TRDood 08-23-2010 07:36 AM

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!

danned 08-23-2010 07:49 AM

why the president of PHILIPhine is not showing?

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.

HonestTea 08-23-2010 07:52 AM

Just heard about this from a friend in HK and shit, such a sad thing to see the dead bodies being pulled out :( :(

RIP to the victims :(

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.

Heard about this on the radio on the way to work. Crazy.
