Vince Li - the Beheader - Manitoba, Canada

Tim McLean
On July 30, 2008, Tim McLean, a 22 year old Canadian man, was was stabbed, beheaded and cannibalized while riding a Greyhound Canada bus in Manitoba.

He was brutalized and killed by a fellow bus passenger, Vince Li. 

Vince Li was found to be not criminally responsible for the murder by reasons of insanity and was remanded to a high-security mental health facility in Manitoba. 

Vince Li is a schizophrenic and is under constant psychotropic medication for life. 


Manitoba Health care officials, including the Manitoba Review Board, repeatedly rule
Vince Li
that Vince Li should be given more and more freedom.  Why is this? 

Previously he was allowed to make escorted trips into Lockport and Winnipeg.  Now the local egghead psychiatrists have decided that Vince Li should have increased day passes, escorted, into Lockport, Winnipeg and nearby beaches.

His treatment team is of the opinion that his condition is stable and that it would be appropriate and safe for him to leave the locked ward. 

Li must take his prescribed medication and comply with all directions on these outings.

Big deal.  It is amazing that Manitoba, which is a have-not Province in Canada, has the funds to pay for "escorts" to lead Vince Li on outings and excursions. 

Manitoba will escort murderers on outings.  Do you escort penniless mothers to the foodbank? 

The federal government introduced Bill C-54, the Not Criminally Responsible Reform Act, in February of 2013 in response to a recommendation last spring that Vince Li be allowed to have escorted walks away from his secure hospital. 

Pray that Tim, an innocent,
is placed on the stairway
to Heaven. 
The bill would create a new category of high-risk offenders who can’t be considered for release until a court agrees to revoke the designation. They would not have a review of their status for three years, would not be given unescorted passes and would only get escorted passes under narrow circumstances.

The law would make public safety the main consideration in such cases and ensure victims would be notified when the offender is released. The law could also be applied retroactively.

Advocates against this Bill state that the bill further stigmatizes the mentally ill, incorrectly suggests the likelihood of reoffending is connected to the brutality of the crime and makes people unnecessarily afraid of those with mental illness.

Duh?  Unnecessarily afraid of the mentally ill?  Are you kidding us? 

We are afraid of untreated and undiagnosed schizophrenics because they can sit beside you on a bus or a bus stop and decide to cut the head off of a total stranger.  They can kill you and they don't even know you. 

Anyone, regardless of the circumstances, who cuts off the head of a stranger sitting beside him on a bus, who wallows in the blood, who eats the flesh of another, should never be allowed any freedom or any release from captivity. 

God save us from the smart ass, white bread psychiatrists who seek to find something redeeming in every murderer.  They are paid to come up with solutions and they do - the wrong solutions. 

Pray for Tim McLean, an innocent stranger sitting in a bus seat, who was murdered by Vince Li. 

Pray that Tim is in Heaven. Amen. 

Pray without ceasing unto God, that Vince Li will never be released from custody.  Amen.
