He says he remembers what happened on a Greyhound bus bound for Winnipeg during that midsummer’s nightmare in 2008.

But now that he is medicated for his illness, he says the aliens he was afraid of have disappeared, the voices he heard are silent, and he is aware of why it happened on a different level.

Painfully aware.

“I try to forget it . . . I feel nervous. I feel painful. I am embarrassed. It was wrong.”

Li spoke those words last weekend when, for the first time in the nearly four years since he made international headlines for the horrifying psychosis-induced beheading of fellow Greyhound passenger Tim McLean, Li granted a full-length interview for release to the media.

The contents of the interview were supplied to the Winnipeg Free Press.

Li also said he feels sorry for what he did and what it has done to McLean’s family.
