I agree that it's not Greyhounds fault in any way, it could've happened anywhere at any time. I feel for the victim's family. I also completely agree with the actions of the passengers though.

Think about it. The guy probably stabbed the other guy severals times before anyone realised what was going on and started freaking out. My guess, the guy was already dead by the time the bus even stopped and people began fleeing. Yes, I would run too, I wouldn't want to be the next person stabbed. Who knows what drugs the guy was on or what medication he skipped when he was doing this. I wouldn't put myself in harms way for someone already dead. They did prevent him from leaveing the bus, which was a smart thing to do, and this also prevented him form going after anyone else or causing more injuries/death.

I have no doubt that he would have continued a stabbing spree on someone else who tried to take him down. He stab 40-50 times, there has to be some kind of rage or mental breakdown. To decapitate the victim after realising that he couldn't get out of the bus and then dropping the head where they can see it, this tells me that he would've prefered another person to stab but used decapitation to vent he stabbing needs.
