It is not that it was pure evil which killed Tim McLean, nor that the killer cut his head off and stuck it on the body, as we have seen in the beheadings from Iraq and Afghanistan, but he ate parts of Tim, and took evil to whole new levels.
That is so rare among killers as to truly stand alone.
Pig Farmer and Greyhound Killer.
Those two will go down in history. The only difference between Jeffrey Dahlmer and Li is the numbers of people killed and eaten. I am sure, given enough time, Li would have knocked Dahlmer off the perch of cannibal killer.
What are you doing in Canada to develop the evil.
Apparently, it is working.
We will learn more about Li, what they find in his home, what else he may have done, his connections, and interests.
Li got on the bus with the knife. Not many people carry Rambo knives around routinely.
He got off the bus, and when he got back on, he MOVED his seat to sit next to Tim, and then he butchered him.
THAT shows intent. Intent to kill someone, and intent to kill that person (Tim), when he moved to and sat next to him.
Yet Canada, in all their civilized humane legal maneuvers, have charged Li with 2nd degree murder.
Do you want to show respect for human life, for Tim? Try the guy and then execute him.
That shows more respect for human life than does 15 or 20 years in prison.
And please do not jump to a defense of illness - Li was mentally incompetent or unstable at the time. Evil uses our refusal to acknowledge its existence, to spread. We do not even accept that evil per se exists, instead, we cloak it with terms and labels that make it more medically challenged than what it is - evil.
Evil exists and Li is the best example of evil in Canada or the US at this time. I believe, the all time honor goes to the Pig Farmer of British Columbia, who doesn't deserve a name, for the evil he committed, and the innocents he devoured.
It is interesting it shows up in Canada and sometimes in the US, two countries whose people do not universally accept the existence of evil, and instead prefer to call it sickness or mental illness, and in doing so, give safety to evil to spread.

Decapitation Suspect Allegedly Ate Victim
According To Police Tapes, Officers Observed Attacker Hacking Off Pieces Of Victim, Eating Them
TORONTO, Aug. 2, 2008
(CBS/ AP) A police officer at the scene of a fatal stabbing on a Canadian bus reported seeing the attacker hacking off pieces of the victim's body and eating them, according to a police tape leaked on the Internet Saturday.
In the tape of radio transmissions, officers referred to the attacker, who also beheaded the victim, as "Badger." They said he was armed with a knife and scissors and was "defiling the body."
"Badger's at the back of the bus, hacking off pieces and eating it," an officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said on the tape.
The RCMP described the tapes as "operational police communications and, as such, are not meant for public consumption." The tape was posted on YouTube among other Web sites. The employer of the man who witnesses said stabbed and beheaded his seat mate on a Greyhound bus in Canada said Saturday that he was in shock to learn that his "model employee" has been accused of the grisly attack.
Vincent Augert, an independent contractor who distributes newspapers in Edmonton, Alberta, said that Vince Weiguang Li, was one of his most reliable carriers.
"He was very punctual and always cleanly dressed," Augert told The Associated Press. "He was a very nice, polite guy. We would've had no reason to let him go before all this happened.
" Li faces second-degree murder charges for the brutal late Wednesday murder of a 22-year-old man on the bus traveling a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 12 miles from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.
Witnesses described a bloody killing that occurred as some passenger were napping and others watching "The Legend of Zorro" on television screens inside the bus. Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh said there were 37 passengers on the Winnipeg, Manitoba-bound bus at the time. Shortly after passengers reboarded following a break, the suspect - for no apparent reason - stabbed the man sitting next to him several dozen times as others fled in horror, witnesses said. He then severed the man's head, displayed it and began hacking at the body.
Li, who was in court Friday, did not reply when the judge asked him whether he was going to get a lawyer, and only nodded slightly when asked whether he was exercising his right not to speak. He was not required to enter a plea.
He shuffled into the courtroom Friday in Portage la Prairie with his head bowed and feet shackled.
The prosecutor asked for a psychiatric assessment, but the judge said he wanted to give Li a chance to meet with his lawyer. Li's next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Li has no known criminal record.
Authorities have not released the victim's name but friends identified him as Tim McLean and said he was headed to Winnipeg after working with the carnival in Edmonton.
William Caron, 23, said McLean was quiet, though he liked to socialize with friends. He was small - about 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds - and tended to stay away from a fight, Caron said. "
All the time I've known Tim, he's never been the type of guy to get into a fight with. He always kept to himself when there's strangers around," Caron said.
Friends started a Facebook group to remember him after news of the attack.
Friends told the Globe and Mail newspaper that a small group gathered Thursday outside the home of McLean's father, also named Tim. They greeted him as he returned home from work, and sat with him as he watched the news at his computer for the first time. Witness Garnet Caton, who was sitting just one seat in front of the two men on the bus, said the suspect had been on the bus about an hour. He initially did not sit near the victim but changed seats after a rest stop. Caton said he did not hear the two speak to each other before the attack.
"We heard this bloodcurdling scream and turned around, and the guy was standing up, stabbing this guy repeatedly," Caton said.
Caton watched in horror as blood sprayed across the back of the bus, he told The Globe & Mail daily.
"He had a Rambo, hunting knife covered in blood and he just kept going at the guy," Caton said. "He was very calmly killing the guy and the other guy was screaming bloody murder," he added.
"There was no rage or anything. He was just like a robot stabbing the guy," Caton said.
Caton said the driver stopped the bus when he became aware of the attack and passengers raced off. A short while later, Caton said he re-boarded along with the bus driver and a trucker who had stopped to see what was happening.
He said the suspect had the victim on the floor of the bus and "was cutting his head off" with a large hunting knife.
The attacker turned toward them and the three men quickly left the bus, blocking the door as the attacker slashed at them through an opening. Caton said the driver disabled the vehicle after the attacker tried to drive it away.
As the three guarded the door with a crow bar and a hammer, the attacker went back to the body and calmly came to the front of the bus to show off the head, Caton said.

Memorial service held at Regina Exhibition for man slain on bus

Published: Saturday, August 02, 2008
REGINA -- A memorial service was held on the midway of the Regina Exhibition on Saturday for Tim McLean, the young man who was murdered on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba last Wednesday night.
According to Amber Swedgen, the spokesperson for North American Midway Entertainment, the service was organized by Tony Diaz, general manager for Canadian midway operations. Diaz flew to Regina on Friday to meet with the midway employees about McLean's death.
"We were definitely planning something, but when he got back from Toronto he really felt the emotion on the midway and the emotion himself," she said. "So they got it all together and they got a hold of the church and they got it all organized immediately."
Clergy from a local church officiated the ceremony, which lasted 45 minutes and included a speech by McLean's direct manager and a poem by a coworker. Swedgen said that even though the service was organized overnight, over 200 people turned out for the service. She also said that members of the community were "extremely helpful" in helping put the service together.
"We all needed to have a nice get together today and just really remember and just be thankful that we all had a chance to be with him and work with him and he was a part of our life," Swedgen said.
According to Swedgen there are plans to coordinate a fundraising drive for the McLean family, one of the many ways the company came up with to try and help the family. She said that for many in the midway carnival company, those who work the carnival circuit become a "city within a city" and are like a massive family.
