Being an ex-fruit orchardist in the Okanagan Valley of B.C. Cdn., I must admit that I am at loss as to what '--Aomori-grown apples--. These seemingly from South Africa.

We, in Cdn, know almost anything marked "packaged in Canada" is frozen products from CHINA. Really peeves us as fruit farmers…

Second degeree murder is not as strong as first degree. Fact is a good chance he will only be charged with manslaughter & then even less due to a mental probelm at the time.

The press does NOT seem to feel this move by the Chinese Govt., was or has been sensible. Also many feel once the Games start they will still be blocked by the Chinese Govt's thinking & what the police or military carry out as so-called-safety.

True WilliB the passengers did next to nil in this matter. ALL they wanted was to get out alive. Mind your credit has to go to the bus driver, an unknowen truck driver, & one passenger that barred the killer out of the normal door what with a crow-bar, hammer…

As a Cdn living in Cdn. That was really a shocker I have to admit. Cdns are still shaken up over this one. We have never heard of anything as crazy as this incident.
