A sympathetic comment on the Chinese-Canadian immigrant head chopper...
We should not be too quick to judge. To all appearances, he was a good guy, who tried to work very hard to support his family. He did all kinds of jobs before moving to Edmonton and later taking his family there. He is a husband to a loving wife Anna and had the support of his community and Canadian friends. I guess the stress of everything took a toll on him and Chinese men are not unlike other men who sometimes refuse to admit they have a problem and needs help. Not being able to speak English, being new to the country and having mental confusion can add up to a frightened confused man who perhaps started hearing voices, telling him to kill someone in order to help himself. Tim McLean was that unfortunate man. It is terrible all around.Dian Fossey, eat your heart out. No need to travel to the jungle to encounter the wildlife anymore. Thanks to immigration, it's here, apparently. Just prod an immigrant with a stick and stand back? That's all it takes to go postal, presumably. Somewhere along the way, we all became lion tamers - but without the whip. We all became social workers, but without the qualifications. Somehow, we all accepted living in the jungle as the price of immigration. Strange.
