HOLY CRAP Asians-in-the-News of the Day

By Moye | Friday, August 1, 2008 | 5 Comments

I first heard about the horrifying murder on a Canadian bus yesterday, where a stranger gutted and decapitated another passenger for no apparent reason.

Witnesses said the victim was stabbed dozens of times in the Wednesday night attack aboard the bus as it traveled a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway about 12 miles from Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.

They said the attacker then severed his seat mate’s head, displayed it and then began cutting up the body.

Ahhh! WTF!!! Decapitation!! Ahhh!

This morning the police revealed the suspect:

Vince Weiguang Li, of Edmonton, Alberta, has been charged with second-degree murder.

Ahhh! He’s Asian! Ahhh!

(I don’t really know what that means. I just thought I’d share the news. Cause there’s an Asian guy in it. That’s what this site is about, right?)

yeah, I was worried as soon as I read the name...

The Mainstream Media is looking for ANY reason to bash the Chinese, especially right around the Olympics... and even though the guy is probably Canadian, they're going to spin it with the whole race discussion, just like they did with the Hmong shootings in Wisconnesota

This page includes a video interview of one of the witnesses. He described the Asian guy as in his 60s (I think?), bald, and looking very calm through the whole horrifying incident.
