The Canadian Greyhound Bus Cannibal

1/6/2023
The Canadian Greyhound Bus Cannibal Hello, friends! Join Jess, Brice, and our special guest Dean around the campfire while Mara takes the reins and tells us about the shocking case of the killing of young Tim McLean. Tim McLean was just 22 years old when he boarded Greyhound bus 1170 bound for Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. On the fateful day of July 30th, 2008, he lost his life to Vince Li. Mara tells us about the stabbing and eventual cannibalism that led to a standoff with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba. Li was finally taken into custody and charged with second-degree murder but he would not be found criminally responsible for the crime due to mental illness. We discuss the profound impact this case had on the passengers of the bus and the family of the victim. Was justice served for McLean and his family? Should Li be able to rejoin society? Listen to the episode and don’t forget to give us your thoughts! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLean https://web.archive.org/web/20080810005604/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080805.wbus06/BNStory/National/home chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/3458881/Manitoba-Criminal-Code-Review-Board-decision.pdf https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-tim-mclean-greyhound/jen-jeffers https://nypost.com/2017/02/11/man-who-beheaded-bus-passenger-granted-total-freedom/ https://web.archive.org/web/20090315135511/http://www.edmontonjournal.com/Health/Beheader%2Bcriminally%2Bresponsible/1356476/story.html https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/greyhound-killer-believed-man-he-beheaded-was-an-alien-1.1131575 https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/the-scream-that-haunts-the-forgotten-passengers-of-bus-1170/article1372244/?page=all https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/40-year-old-suspect-held-in-gruesome-manitoba-bus-killing-1.705008 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/greyhound-beheading-10th-anniversary-1.4760074 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/mother-of-tim-mclean-ends-petition-to-change-law-1.2502104 https://globalnews.ca/news/1855998/timeline-of-decisions-in-the-case-of-vince-li/

That time the United States Army took on the Crips

11/18/2022
It’s 1989 and Sgt. Bill Foulk purchased a home in one of Tacoma’s worst neighborhoods. The street was home to one of the most notorious street gangs Washington has ever known, the hilltop street gang. Sgt Foulk and his neighbors witnessed numerous drug deals and illegal activities and reported this to authorities several times. But when that failed to garner a police response Sgt. Foulk had no problem confronting The Hilltop crips himself. They were tired of Sgt. Foulk’s threats, the Crips threatened and ambushed Sgt. Foulks' house but not before he invited some of his friends from the 2nd ranger battalion to his house for a BBQ and after 10 minutes and more than 300 rounds had been fired the Crips soon realized they were in a fight for their lives!!!! https://www.military.com/history/time-army-rangers-got-gunfight-crips-street-gang.html https://www.q13fox.com/news/army-ranger-veteran-remembers-defending-his-home-against-alleged-gang-attack-in-tacoma-shootout https://www.q13fox.com/news/tacoma-homicides-up-more-than-50-over-same-period-in-2021 https://apnews.com/article/ecea5c7982345f184064facf5433330d https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/us/wa/tacoma/crime-rate-statistics https://sofrep.com/news/ranger-legends-ash-street-shootout/ https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/dec/30/after-17-years-tacoma-police-chief-with-good-heart/ https://www.southsoundtalk.com/2019/04/05/ranger-ash-street-shootout-remains-part-of-tacomas-gang-lore/ https://nwgangs.proboards.com/thread/41/hilltop-crip-gang https://youtu.be/HxgJ8AnobGE https://www.army.mil/ranger/
