Angie Calgary Age: 23 Posts: 4736	This is the first and only official picture of Vince Weiguang Li, a man who stabbed and beheaded 22 year old Tim McLean on a Greyhound bus ride from Edmonton to Winnipeg. Let's take a look at his profile - Vince Weiguang Li is 40 year old and is from Edmonton. The police from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba where Vince Weiguang Li is held had no answers and the motive of his killing remains a mystery. Vince Weiguang Li was investigated on Friday but hasn’t uttered a single word. The judge talked to him, but the killer simply held his head bowed and never even made an eye contact with anyone. The only response the judge got was a slight nod when he asked the suspect if he is exercising his right to remain silent. Vince Weiguang Li did not respond to a question whether he was going to get a lawyer. Crown prosecutor Larry Hodgson asked to have the suspect sent to a psychiatric assessment but the judge dismissed the claim as he wanted to give the suspect a chance to speak to a counsel first - which is his right. There is no official police statement regarding the death of Tim McLean so all we have are reports from victims who were on the greyhound bus and according to them Vince Weiguang Li repeatedly stabbed sleeping Tim McLean, then went on to decapitate him and carved his body with a knife. The police however say that Vince Weiguang Li has no police records and it is not known why he was on the bus.

Lila Edmonton Age: 26 Posts: 1184	Well, I'm reading on the news that Vince Weiguang Li is facing second degree charges. So the guy stabs a victim 60 or some times, decapitates him and carves the guts out of his dead corpse. Makes you wander what one has to d to get a first degree murder in Canada...

delicon Edmonton Age: 30 Posts: 330	I think second degree murder means that the attack was not premeditated. Vince Weiguang Li worked as paper delivery boy in Edmonton, delivering Edmonton Journal, the National Post and the Edmonton Sun newspapers to people's mailboxes.He also worked at McDonalds.

Mark Edmonton Age: 35 Posts: 1807	My Greek friend Dimitrios who hangs out with me at New City (those who go to the club may know him) lives at the apartment complex called Twin Towers on 105 Ave and 90 St in Edmonton. Vince Weiguang Li also rented the apartment at Twin Towers and lived there for a few years. Pretty crazy.

BlackCat Edmonton Age: 25 Posts: 259	Has anyone noticed how larger than life all murder victims are? I feel sorry for terrible loss of Tim McLean, but I find it laughable how he is portrayed as larger than life, better then Jesus, holier than thou kind of dude. I understand you only speak good of the dead, but man oh man... I'm surprised he wasn't walking around with a halo on his head.

Twilight-Spider Victoria, BC Age: 26 Posts: 562	People often like to remember most often the good parts of a person's life and overlook the negative. It's easier to remember someone for the positive aspects of their life than the negative. Especially when that life is put to an abrupt end. For example. I am indeed a very vengeful person, petty, spiteful and not very nice. But I am also a very compassionate, empathetic and loving person (to those that I love and care about) If I were murdered in such violent and heartless manner, I'm sure that, when asked, those close to me would not point out my negative sides. They might say that I struggled to find my path in life, but that I was loving and caring blah blah blah. It would be in poor taste to point out the negative aspects of my personality. And so it is with anyone that is brutally put to death. As for who just kills someone? Lots of people. Over stupid reasons. The group of teenagers that killed an Edmonton girl on a golf course. Why? They were bored. People kill people for WEARING THE WRONG COLOR (gang colors). The world is full of people that think that a human life is worth nothing and that it's theirs to take. BASTARDS.

Steve Cold Lake Age: 102 Posts: 181	I have no pity for the demented, if you hate life - go ahead and off yourself and don’t take it out on others. This person does not deserve rehabilitation or imprisonment, I don’t care what he was or did in the past, death, at the hands of the family, stoning should do it, not too quick. Ok, I have had my vent, now where is my hammer.

Steve Cold Lake Age: 102 Posts: 181	Hi Twilight The problem with violent behaviour is that it is not dealt with effectively. OK, capitol punishment was done away with (here); afraid of killing the innocent perhaps but in this case there is no doubt as to who the offender is. To those who destroy life for no good reason and there is no question in the matter - death in short order to the guilty.

Twilight-Spider Victoria, BC Age: 26 Posts: 562	I firmly, firmly believe that the point at which you decide to end a human life in cold blood, you lose your right to be treated humanely and as a human being. The point at which you take a life in cold blood, you lose your right to live. Many people say that the death penalty is not a deterrent, because people will kill even if it's in place. That is true. People will kill regardless of if they could be killed for it in the end. But it will keep one person from ever killing again. And save thousands and thousands of the tax-payers dollars. There is a difference between killing in cold blood (as Vince Weiguang Li did to Tim McLean, as those bored teenagers did one night on a golf course, as people do for the most ridiculous reasons) and killing someone through the death penalty. One is uncaring, with a blatant disregard of human life and the value of a human being. The other is bringing the only measure of true justice that can be granted; your life given to pay for the life/lives that you've taken.

Hi Angie I heard of this recording and what it contains, don’t think I will check it out, I have enough information to determine that this asshole is a twisted fuck that does not deserve to breath.

No, see, I'm all for cannibalism, but only if practiced in an ethical and vegan (you heard me) manner. In other worlds, don't kill someone to eat them! Only eat family members and dear loved ones (only if they were vegans) as part of a funeral rite.

This sound somewhat akin to a Tibetan death rite....something I read in one of the Body Worlds exhibits. Don’t think they had to be vegans. I thought that vegans could not eat anything that had/has a face.

Twilight-Spider Victoria, BC Age: 26 Posts: 562	I just think that, if you have to eat people, vegans would be the healthiest choice because they haven't taken hormone/anti-biotic filled animals all their life. Or McDonalds and so on. So, I mean, they seem the most healthy choice for cannibalism.

Your comment makes me think of one of my favourite movies “Hund, wolt ihr ewig leben” or “Dog, would you live forever!” We don’t escape sickness and death. While I advocate not going out and poisoning oneself, more than moderate care for things like healthy eating only extends life marginally at the cost of living life less. Personally I don’t care to scratch out every available second that I possibly can, I am good to go.

Max SoCal Age: 29 Posts: 62	Wow ... aren't police brave? The way they hang back until any little bit of danger to themselves subsides, you know - after he's finished his meal, arrest him when he goes to take a nap. At least when a cop goes in Dirty Harry style, the baddies get instance justice with a .44 magnum slug through their worthless brains.

anamaria Calgary Age: 22 Posts: 538	Maybe the defense can pull the "window seat is more pleasing" excuse. You know, like - "Mr. Vince Weiguang Li just wanted the window seat but Mr. Tim McLean kept ignoring his body language to the point that it was unbearable."

pornask Edmonton Age: 27 Posts: 1207	It's really mean to make fun of a deceased young man who suffered such terrible death, but I've read some incredibly funny stuff in response to this beheading on the net today. I don't remember where it was posted, but someone said that Vince Weiguang Li must have terribly misunderstood Tim McLean after young man suggested that he would give him head if Vince Weiguang Li would eat him. Such a terrible, mean joke, but so incredibly funny... I think I'm gonna roast in hell for this. Damn.

As he said, everything can be funny, it's all down to the exaggeration of the joke behind it. And yeah, i'll see you in hell. Make sure you get the beers in will you?
