"I found it scary seeing as how I used to take Greyhounds to Canada!!!" one wrote. "I doubt I ever will again, especially now."

What an idiot. Psychos are everywhere. You can't avoid something like this. It could happen anytime, anywhere.

Others were critical of the already traumatized passengers who watched the incident unfold. "37 people didn't have anything to throw at him? 37 people couldn't have over powered one guy with a knife?" an outraged poster asks. "Isn't this the same mentality that allowed 2 or 3 idiots with box cutters to take out the Twin Towers?"

"No handguns allowed in Canada, we know. But no woman had a purse to bonk him on the head?" another queries. "No one bothered to throw a can of diet Coke at the guy's head? Who was on the bus? The Old Ladies' Home and Gardening Society?"

And still a third called Canadians "panzies" (sic) for not doing anything to stop it.

But experts remind the commentators they weren't there at the time and can't understand the shock and surprise that may have rendered those onboard numb and unable to act, while worried about saving their own lives.

I can kind of understand this logic. I can also understand people not wanting to act to protect their own lives. If you wanna bring the gun debate into this scenario, you could always argue that if the attacker had a handgun, he could of killed numerous people on that bus instead of one.
