There isn't a Christmas that has passed without my thoughts turning to Tim's family. His parents especially. I have a 4 year old named Ethan and I cannot imagine being in their shoes ever. Please know Tim is not forgotten.

I really can only say I wish them healing and peace. My daughter who was 14 at the time. Security in Calgary is there, although I really don't think it is as professional or secure as it could be. The sequester area for the passengers is make-shift at most and I do believe that more can be done to get security protocols as the Calgary International Airport has. The person who did this should be SENT back to his homeland of Dandong, China and let them take the burden of his incarceration, which should be PERMANENTLY. He is a very mentally unwell individual who needs to be cared for with medication and psycho-social counselling for the rest of his life. Peace to the family of this man.

I did not know Tim but after reading various articles, it sounds like he was a free spirit with a heart of gold. My heart goes out to his friends and family....and may he rest in peace.

I just watched another Dateline story on this horrifying tragedy. Aside from all that should have, could have, would have been done...how can Greyhound refurbish this bus and put it back on the road. What an insult to all who have ever been a Greyhound passenger. I will never ride Greyhound again because of this decision. I feel that it would be so disrespectful to Tim's family and other's affected by this event. I have grandson's coming to the age of Tim when he was murdered. I can't begin to imagine....there are no words. It is seldom one sheds a real tear of a total stranger but I know of several of my friends who have, as have I. I would like to see a minimum 1 day Canada wide boycott of passenger service with Greyhound initiated. I don't know how this could be arranged but what ever I could do to let Greyhound know that they did a wrong and a bad thing (which just infuriated and shocked me and my friends even more than the tragic events of that horrible day in Canadian history) I will do it.. May you rest in peace Tom McLean. May your family gain justice for you, for themselves and for all of us who dare to care about a nice young man who should have had a long and happy life. I understand that Li could possibly be let out next year. How can this be prevented? Tim...you will always be remembered as a not-so-silent testimony as to wrong/right and you have all of us to see this never happens to anyone else ever again. You are forever in our hearts. To Tim's family I would just like to say...you more than deserve justice...you will gain it.

I didn't know Tim until the story of his death was broadcast by the news. Like most Canadians, I'm shocked by the way our Justice system is handling V. Li, and I feel powerless to help. But I do want to be able to say something in support of the family and of the memory of Tim. To the family of Tim McLean, my heart felt sorrow for your loss. Peter from Montreal

I haven't heard of this story until now and it is heartbreaking. How can someone do this to another human being? It is truly horrible and I hope that justice is served to the fullest extent of the law! My heart goes out to this young man's family.

I didn't know Tim or anybody involved, but I'm deeply touched by this incident. How can this happen?! I sure hope the guy gets life in prison where he can rot because the death penalty is to easy of a death. I feel so bad for the family. I'm sure what i'm feeling is nothing compared to what they are feeling, but I'm praying for Tim and his family anyway. I hope the best for them and his friends. God Bless.

To the Family of Tim, I have a son, 19, and I believe, in some way, he is like Tim, loving and caring and full of life, I believe your son will be around you always, he was needed somewhere else. I want the family to know, even strangers care. Bless your family..

To the family of Tim, Though Tim has been taken away from you, he obviously left a memory of an active, full of life young man who loved his family and what life had to offer. He was a great gift and will remain in the memories of many...even strangers.

No inmates for this guy, he gets to waste tax payers money in a nice cosy hospital and play cards. He will have no criminal record and after a yearly review can be let go into the unsuspecting public, hoping he is taking his meds.

Saying that's unfair is a gross understatement. It makes me sick how these criminally insane monsters get to live the rest of their lives in comfort. I don't care if they are "mentally ill" or not....they are still a danger to society and should NEVER be released back into the public. It's beyond pathetic how effed up our justice system is.

There can never be justice for crazy people that do not have remorse nor can we find any form of credibility for sick people. In the end of things, there is only one judge higher than our capacity, and he alone will sift and understand this insanity. We are not capable of this and all the minds of this world cannot say for sure. Pray and learn that's all we may have in any of this. Justice is not going to bring back lose,memories are the only sure thing.Friend in Hamilton.

We had been out for an hour or so and my aunt said that we needed to go to my other aunts house so she could see my son. By the time we had gotten there my son had long passed out. I went inside and low and behold there was Tim and my cousin Derek dressed as to my knowldege anyways CLOWNS!! Any one who knows me knows im terrified of them, well Tim chased me around my anutys house for what seemed like ever lol. Finally when i calmed down the three of us just about busted our guts laughing!!

This is crazy,most people are normal everyday folk they just want to get from point a to point b with no problems.how could the government allow a person like mr. li in the country.Now travelling on the bus may not be as safe as we figured.My heart goes out to the family no one has a right to die that way.And now there are kids scarred for life witnessing this horrifying crime and everyone on that bus.What would make a person do this makes no sense.Mr li should get the death penalty and have his head cut off .

It's hard to imagine we live in a world where people can be so cruel and heartless. That a crime like this has been committed and the man that committed this crime is wanting to die for what he has done.There is "NO" excuse for what he has done (crazy or not) there is no cause for someone's life to be taken away like that! I do believe in "an eye for an eye" and this crime is just unreal to me. I pray for The McLean Family everyday and have been keeping tabs on what's going on. Please be strong and remember you have a lot of people, love and prayers on your side. God Bless!

Since I have seen this story I have followed it everyday. This is the kind of story that makes me support capitol punishment. I can't imagine what the family is going through. God be with the family and friends and remember god has taken his pain away and has made him an angel.... Your Guardian Angel You have a Guardian Angel Who watches over you - Everywhere you go And everything you do. This gentle, silent helper Is there to be your guide To shelter and protect you, And for you to walk beside. Your Angel will always help you Whenever things go wrong, They'll be the wings beneath your feet As Life's path you walk along. Feel this calming presence - Be enfolded by its love And let your life be guided By a power from above.

I am so sad to hear about this tragic story. What an absolute shame. My heart goes out to each and every one of Tim McLean's family and friends. There are no words to describe how horrible it was that this happened. May it comfort you to know that you are not alone, and that total strangers from all over the world are praying for you, and will continue to support you with our love, and follow up on how you are coping during this terrible loss. Tim seemed like such a special person. An amazing spirit. Please hold your memories close to you, and know that he is with you always. Souls are energy, like the sun. And energy never dies, it just changes form. You are forever connected with Tim. God Bless.
