Knives don't kill, lack of blood does. Banning knives just makes spoon users of us all.

I've seen police board someone on a bus in one town, and have coworkers pick them up in another. Stabbing a fellow passenger so that the bus pulls over seems like a pretty handy way to get off the bus so that the police you know are waiting for you at your destination don't get you.

Around White River, you'd better have a ride waiting. Dogs and Choppers are hard to hide from and cold doesn't give a damn. Bin Laden wouldn't last a week there....

banning bus routes north of the 49th sounds best... oh oh I know tell them Knives on buses are illegal. Then they won't think about bording buses until they have deposited their knives at safe knife drop out locations

I just heard a bit of this when waking up this morning to the radio..... all I heard was that the police put this idiot on the bus.

Reading the above link, sounds like this would fall under the OPP's responsibility if you ask me.

I say we ban the practice of using Greyhound as police transport. Surely I can't be the only person who's seen this sort of thing happen?

If they're using it as police transport, there should be an escorting officer. That's not necessary with a "get outa Dodge" suggestion. Regardless, if the guy under suspicion - even for a moment - they should have patted him down. I see a bit of negligence on the OPP's part.

I've seen RCMP put a person onto a Greyhound, and corresponding officers pick them up on the other end, no escort. Negligence doesn't even begin.
