As you may have read on your flist some guy was randomly stabbed and beheaded while travelling on a Greyhound bus. It's shocking, horrible, tragic and many other strong words.

And so now there's a page dedicated to him over at Facebook. Which, personally isn't my cup of tea but whatever. The part that I do have a big problem with though is this -

"If any of his family or friends join this group I want you to know I will have u in my thoughts as Tim is now in a better place."

Okay. Just. No. And fuck you. Do NOT use "u" as a freaking word on a page like that, in a post like that. That is tacky and well, stupid. Also? Maybe YOU believe he's in a better place and that's great but don't tell the family that, don't tell people that cared about him that. You don't know what they believe. Maybe they don't believe in a better after life, maybe they were Satan worshippers, maybe this and maybe that. And if they do believe in a better after life ... I don't know that someone would really want to hear that so soon after something so digusting happened.

Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

It's possible I had something else to say but I don't remember what it was or could have been.

I agree with you.

Also, I've rode Greyhound before, and it sucks ass even more now than it did when I was a kid.

I've ridden the Greyhound once maybe twice many moons ago. I don't remember what it was like but I'm sure it wasn't fun.
