Krusto 2/15/2013 12:52:38 PM ReportI was going to suggest the same thing, every little bit of information helps
TFinn 2/15/2013 2:36:05 PM ReportIf Greyhound kicked him off ...I smell litigation !!
rcssm69 2/15/2013 4:32:49 PM ReportWell isn't that speculation!
Wobbler 2/15/2013 8:14:01 PM ReportOPP has been called and no, the man was not forced to get off the bus....that was his destination
shorty38 2/15/2013 8:43:47 PM ReportWhy is it that every time someone gets drunk and does something stupid so many people think it is time to blame someone else.... If you drink, it is your fault, accept the the results.
kamen 2/15/2013 9:00:05 PM ReportActually, anyone who took smart serve will tell you this, blame is to be placed on anyone who served him alcohol including people who host a party. You are responsible for said person until said person sobers up.
Wobbler 2/15/2013 10:17:32 PM ReportWho are we to blame if someone "serves" himself?
chicky016 2/16/2013 8:19:27 AM ReportI saw the body...the guy was only in a black tank top and jeans...
blink101 2/16/2013 4:47:55 PM ReportWhen Greyhound removes you from a bus because of bad behaviour or imparement,it is their policy to call the police & they meet you as you exit the doors.
Wobbler 2/16/2013 7:52:43 PM Reportblink101
Yes you are right blink, but in this case the man was not "removed because of bad behavior or impairment". He was let off the bus at the location that was specified on his ticket.
Let's not speculate any more and let the police do their jobs and put our thoughts towards the people who have lost their family member.
My condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to this man's family and friends
