This murderer is 120%, full blown-psychochotic-crazy-nutzo-bonkers-out-of-his-mind. But that's not the clinical term for it.

This guy is as sick as they come, unfortunately, also with violent tendencies.

The delusions this wacko must have been experiencing to do such an act are unimaginable.

I've studied Psychology and schizophrenics are 99% of the time non-violent.

The problem with a violent schizophrenic that suffers from delusions of grandeur is that they can actually believe they are the devil - or that they are destroying evil. Who knows what his fantasy world consisted of - but what ever it is, it was a full blown psychotic break from reality.

That poor kid, just sleeping on a crappy Greyhound bus, listening to headphones, minding his own business...

In the days to come, I guarantee we'll be hearing about this man's medical past. They'll say the usual: that he wasn't taking his meds, that he's been in and out of hospitals, etc... that he somehow slipped through the system.

Well, which ever doctor was last responsible for him, that doctor failed big-time.

Again I have to say...

SHAME on the forum members who are criticising the actions of the passengers, I believe they acted very bravely and ensured that nobody else was killed.

To all the wannabe-hero's who are talking about grabbing the killer in a headlock and gouging his eyes or popping a cap in his *** , then may i suggest you get a grip on reality and realise this isn't a movie or videogame.

This was a very shocking and sickening moment and i very much doubt anybody here would have reacted much differently to the poor passengers on that ill-fated bus.

Once again, I'm shocked to find out that the killer had no criminal record and was actually on his way to a job interview. What the hell happened???

What caused a seemingly normal man to snap, to kill and behead a total stranger?

It's just a blessing the killer didn't have a gun or there would have been many more dead and injured.

Sickening.
