you guys shouldn't be angry at Feldschalcht, I think he's just really upset about this, it upsets me too, and sometimes, I think I would try to save a victim like that. It's not trying to be a hero or anything, but really someone getting killed for no reason makes me sick to my core, and I don't think I could live with a calm conscience knowing that maybe, just maybe I could have done something to help him. I probably would get chopped too tough, but sometimes it's what I believe.

This pretty much encapsulates how I feel. Maybe it isn't LOGICAL, but it's easy for us to pick apart the logic in attacking psychopaths with knives in the comfort of our own homes over the Internet.

Feldman VI, one of the articles said that the police even said that they are glad that the people on the bus acted as they did. This psychopath took a life, as he intended, and to be honest it didn't seem like there was much hope of stopping him at all, short of someone three seats away who is a well trained marksman shooting him in the face before he landed the third or fouth knife-slash to the neck, which obviously didn't happen.

Don't make yourself to be so righteous and stop embezzling your indignation. Its disrespectful and short-sighted, especially when this is such a tragedy that we shouldn't be talking it about so non-chalantly, and especially when someone else had just lost a brother or a son and everyone agrees that it was an isolated incident nobody could truthfully do anything about.

JUMP HIM

Have you ever been in a fight?  Have you ever broken up a fight or tried to shield someone from the angry blows of someone who is too drunk and too insane and is going ballistic?  I don't think you'd be saying the sorts of things you are if you've ever been in a violent situation.

Man, shut up. I see what you're saying, but don't pass me off as some sort of a self righteous douchebag because I wished that someone would have helped the guy. That's insulting and offensive to me. I admit that I was really angry back there and I was posting out of SHEER RAGE out of the situation, and now that I've calmed down I understand that everyone had to get off the buss (not that I even disagreed with that before), I'm just saying that I'm surprised and kinda angry that no one helped the guy out of sheer instinct.

Not that I'm saying I'm a FIGHTIN' CHAMP (seriously, because I know some smart ass is going to go 'heh...mog is an street vet'), but I've been in about 15 or so fights that I can count off the top of my head since I was like, 9 or something at the earliest. Not that it may mean anything significant, but I spent more than half of my life in public housing (the slums, ghetto, bad part of the hood, whatever), and I've seen my share of gang fights, jumpings, fights, and even shootings. I've been in the midst of it before, it's not like I'm just talking out of my ass here!

Alright this argument's really getting no where so everyone needs to shut the hell up about it. No one's opinions is going to change.

I'm just throwing my two cents in real quick however: someone brought up the narrow bus aisle. That's the exact point. It goes from BUS LOAD OF PEOPLE into LINE/ROW OF PEOPLE TRYING TO SQUEEZE IN TO TAKE INSANE GUY to ONE ON ONE.

Yes I know I overused the caps there but that's the point. A fucking bus. It's so narrow you seriously can't expect 2 or more guys guys to squeeze in the same spot of a row to try to get into a seat area and take out a guy, as cramped as it is. I'm sorry, it's just not possible.

Sure, because arguing is all about changing someones opinion.  :fogetnah:

You know, I was thinking the same thing that some other people were. With all those people on the bus, you would think someone could at least like, I don't know, slam a briefcase into his head or something. Though, when I give it more thought, I wasn't actually on the bus, and A LOT comes into play when you are actually in the scenario.

Man, mog is like what? 14? 15? I wouldn't be surprised if he is since he OBVIOUSLY doesn't understand the severity of the situation.

Heres the dark truth about REAL LIFE mog

NOBODY CARES

In real life, when there is DANGER, its EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF. Nobody is gonna give a fuck to help another if they themselves are going to be in danger in the process. This isn't Final Fantasy mog, grow up.

PS
I'm not saying there AREN'T heroes, because sometimes (1%) there ARE people who can act heroically, but thats as rare as a four leafed clover...

Holy fuck I'll be 21 very soon so I didn't even bother to read the rest of what I'm sure wasn't a very intelligent post.

There are no words to explain how weird this incident seems to me, really. My condolences to the victim's family.

Well, this "hero mentality" that you and mog share, ain't gonna fly in real life. You'll just end up dead, but then again, it's not like you were there, you're just sitting in your comfortable living room and criticizing others for running away when YOU would have done the same.

Man, I used to religiously ride Greyhound buses all over the place because it's ridiculously cheap but the downside is it's full of freaks and weirdos. This doesn't surprise me at all, man. I've seen some pretty crazy stuff go down on Greyhound buses.

I really think Greyhound buses are a gamble, because 10% of the people are normal and the rest are literally freaks from the 4 corners of the world. Mental patients can stumble onto buses. Horrible thing to happen to someone just riding a bus somewhere.

Aten is such a gemstone. There are no heroes on the battlefield..only bodies.. *spits*

Hey guess what, the killer's Asian. That explains a whole lot. First Pearl Harbor, Virginia Tech massacre, and now this! I think America needs to make them Japanese internment camps again. The situation is out of control compared to the amount of violence in Caucasian communities.

no guys. that's not even the point. the guy stabbed the kid. the kid screamed. even if everyone on the bus got up IMMEDIATELY and attacked him, there would be no saving the kid. there would be no reason to try to take the guy down for the POSSIBILITY THAT HE MIGHT TAKE THE KID'S HEAD OFF. IT WOULDN'T BE LOGICAL.
seriously the only reason would be either to look like a hero or some FANTASY VIGILANTE JUSTICE.

SURPRISE. Asian's have built up anger against Caucasians. Bring back the camps.
