Vince Li (AKA: The Manitoba Bus Beheader) to get unescorted field trips: Vince Li -- who beheaded and then reportedly ate parts of a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in 2008, will soon be allowed to leave a mental hospital near Selkirk, Manitoba without an escort. The ruling by the Criminal Code Review Board means Li will be on his own in public for the first time since he stabbed Tim McLean almost six year ago. McLean's mother, says she's ``very disappointed'' with the board's decision.

The week following the attack, Greyhound Canada announced it was pulling a series of nationwide advertisements which included the line, "There's a reason you've never heard of bus rage."
On February 27, 2014, the CBC reported that on March 6, Li will be allowed to have unsupervised visits to Selkirk, starting at 30 minutes and expanding to full-day trips. Since 2013, he is allowed to have supervised visits to Lockport, Winnipeg, and nearby beaches. Those visits will be relaxed.
How nice for the poor misunderstood beheader. And springlike weather just around the corner. Many people thought this guy so deserved a death sentence if there ever was one, but not only will he not be punished he'll be on the beach this summer.
I guess all society can do is hold our collective breath, roll the dice and hope he doesn't relapse. Because if he does heads will ro... okay poor choice of words. If he does, I have no doubt there will be a renewed outcry for the death penalty for psychos like this.
