Rest In Peace My Dear Friend
You now watch over me
From the golden kingdom above
Your body may be still
But your soul still lingers here
Missing you hurts
Forgetting you hurts more
For I may still hurt
You no longer have pain
Rest In Peace My Dear Friend

It’s easy to say what *should* have happened, Trish, but you weren’t in that situation so you don’t know. I think it’s disgusting how so many bloggers/keyboard commentators are blaming the innocent. The only one who should be publicly shamed is the murderer.

I believe the events that transpired sent everyone into a state of panic and I firmly believe anyone of us would have reacted the same way. I believe it was in the best interest of all the other passengers that everyone got off…what would have happened if some did try to jump him..it may have turned into a complete blood fest, as clearly this attacker was not in his right mind and was being controlled by an unseen force..they did the best thing they could and got everyone else off,including children. If they would havejumped him, I shudder to think what more those innocent childrent would have had to see and witness, as it is they will never forget what they have seen and heard. So please people dont judge the passengers…they had to protect the innocent ones and prevent any further attacks. This man clearly was not in his right mind and who knows what else he could have done! This young man did not deserve this and it was extremely horrific. May his family be comforted and strengthened in their time of need.

My heart goes out the McLean family. People out there think of how brave this young Tim was and how many people think of him as a hero. I will let you think that for yourselfs, but I think it is sick and twisted that there are actually people out there that are pointing fingers and placing what if’s on the innocents of passagers and children aboard that grey hound on that dreadful night. I am sure not a day goes by that these people that worked together to make sure nobody else got hurt that night, don’t think about Tim and his soul. Just one last note…. when your thinking about pointing your fingers at someone just remember you were not there you have no clue what horrible, tramatizing, memories those people on that bus wednesday the 31, and you may want to rethink your thoughts as twisted as what happened. have a heart for Tim as well as the others aboard the bus. You all want something to complain about… how about the Canadian Justice System and how there is lack of one. there is something to point many fingers, start there. Peace. And Love. RIP Tim McLean you will be sadly missed by all, but yet remembered by all.

This is a weird, and obviously tragic, event. Seems like it might be a case of some kind of psychotropic drug or perhaps mind control. It just doesn’t make any sense.
And the crowd response…eery as well. Everyone just ran away while a kid got his head cut off. WTF?
