Bus beheader allowed time outside locked hospital ward
June 3, 2010
Less than two years after he beheaded a passenger on a Greyhound bus, Vince Li, pictured, has been given permission to start spending brief periods outside his locked, high-risk ward at a Manitoba mental hospital.
Li learned Thursday that a review board hearing has decided to accept his treatment team's recommendation to allow him opportunities for fresh air and recreation — under escort.
Li will be allowed initially to go outside at the Selkirk Mental Health Centre for 15 minutes at a time, twice a day.
The review board says those privileges can be extended to passes good for up to one hour, twice a day, provided there are no problems.
The facility's grounds are not surrounded by any fence or barrier, and extra staff likely will have to be hired to accommodate Li, the board was told.
Li was found not criminally responsible last year for the 2008 killing and beheading of 22-year-old Tim McLean on board a Greyhound Bus near Portage la Prairie, Man.

holy crap, that's awful. fuck that!
i'm always one to advocate for the rights of mentally ill people in the criminal justice system, but that's such a terrible, awful, horrible, abysmal idea... i'm not exaggerating... this really scares me.
i used to agonize and lose sleep about the grounds- or day-passes i signed for my garden variety inpatients. they were committed to a locked unit for a reason, not because they washed their hands too much... but none of them had fucking full-on butchered another person in public.
if i were the M.D. on that treatment team, i'd never ever sign my name to that plan. i'd rather resign, or be sued by Mr. Li, than have an innocent life, and such horror, on my conscience for the rest of my life.
it's basic psychology as well as common sense. the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. it's so pointless when we don't learn from history.
Say what?
http://www.torontosun.com/2011/07/29...-sue-greyhoundTwo passengers are suing Greyhound, claiming they can't eat or work since being aboard the same bus as Vince Li, but the bus company not only denies liability, it even challenges them to prove they were negatively affected by what went on that day.
In February 2011, two Ontario women — Kayli Shaw of London and Debra Tucker of Port Colbourne — filed lawsuits against Greyhound, the federal government, the RCMP, and Li, arguing those parties are responsible for stress and anguish that they suffered after witnessing Li's attack on Tim McLean aboard a bus in the summer of 2008.
Li, who has decapitated MacLean aboard a Greyhound bus near Portage La Prairie, Man., has since been declared not criminal responsible for his actions.
Both passengers filed identical lawsuits on the same day, using the same firm, and both are seeking $1 million in general damages, $1 million in "nervous shock damages" and $1 million in special damages.
The women argue that witnessing the attack has left them permanently disabled by the trauma, and unable to properly participate in work, recreation and social life.
Greyhound filed its statements of defence in May, not only denying any responsibility for the women's conditions, but questioning whether those conditions even exist.
In its statement of defence, Greyhound claimed the women suffered no "severe stress, nervous shock, post-traumatic stress disorder and mental suffering," and challenged them to prove otherwise.
The company said it maintained a "reasonable" security system on the bus, and if anyone is liable for anything, it's Li, whose "sudden and unforeseeable actions" caused whatever trauma the women claim.

@Dakota Valkyrie, can we make that a class-action or whatever it is so it's like a group suit or something?

Sure! If they win they will have plenty to go around. And since they are incapacitated, there should be little resistance.

Greyhound Cannibal Wins Right to Leave Mental Hospital
http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktl...,4047239.storyWINNIPEG, Manitoba -- Vince Li, the man who beheaded and cannibalized a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Canada, has won the right to be allowed to leave the grounds of the mental hospital where he is being kept, a criminal review board ruled Thursday.
Li was found not criminally responsible for the July 2008 death of Tim McLean, a young carnival worker who was sitting next to Li on a bus near Portage la Prairie.
On Thursday, the Criminal Code Review Board overseeing Li's treatment decided to authorize short escorted trips into the central Canadian city of Selkirk, Manitoba.
The review board said the passes will start at 30 minutes and increase incrementally to a maximum of full days.
But the passes should only be granted if Li's treatment team believes his condition is stable and that it would be "appropriate and safe for him to leave the locked ward."
[...]
As the bus stopped and horrified passengers fled, Li carved up McLean's body and ate portions of it.
Finding himself locked inside the bus, Li finally escaped through a window and was arrested.
Li then apologized and pleaded with police to kill him.
Police said McLean's body parts were found throughout the bus in plastic bags, and the victim's ear, nose and tongue were found in Li's pocket.

Okay...show of hands of everybody who thinks this is a good idea to let this man roam around in the city even if he is supervised?
Do they think he'll be okay as long as he kept away from greyhound buses and young carnival workers?

Canadian Cannibal Has Been Allowed To Leave The Grounds Of Mental Hospital
Canada – While perusing the news for some articles to post, I found an*update*on Vince Li, the Canadian cannibal who*beheaded*and ate parts of a stranger on a Greyhound bus. Last week he won the right to leave the grounds of the mental hospital where he is being held. Oh, Canada.
Back in 2008, 40-year-old Li was a passenger on a Greyhound bus*traveling at night along a desolate stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway. For no known reason, aside from Li being batshit insane and God telling him to, Li stood up and began calmly stabbing the fellow sitting beside him in the neck and chest.
The victim, 22-year-old Tim McLean, was a carnival worker returning home to Manitoba after working at a fair in*Alberta. He*didn’t have much time to defend himself as he had been sleeping while listening to music on his headphones. *The bus came to a stop and everyone inside fled, leaving poor McLean to be carved up at the hands of Li.
And when I say carved up, I mean that literally. Li decapitated McLean and then held up McLean’s head, showing it to the 35 horrified passengers outside who had fled the bus. The bus driver and two others attempted to board the bus but were chased off by Li who then went back to work on mutilating McLean’s body eating*pieces*he was carving off.…
This article is from The Dreamin' Demon, the Internet's self-appointed buzzkill.

The Canadian justice system always makes me feel better about ours
http://www.breitbart.com/system/wire...14-104051-7162WINNIPEG, Manitoba, May 14 (UPI) --
A man who beheaded a fellow Canadian bus passenger should be allowed to spend more supervised time in the outside world, his treatment team recommends.
Two psychiatrists taking care of Vince Li at the Selkirk Mental Health Center told a review board that Li has stopped having hallucinations and has been a model patient, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
The 45-year-old Li was confined to the center after he was found not criminally responsible for beheading Tim McLean, 22, on a Greyhound bus in July 2008.
Li suffers from schizophrenia.
