"I understand people are scared because of my behavior on the Greyhound bus. I am not at risk for anybody. I don't believe in aliens. I don't hear voices," Summerville quoted Li as saying. "I take my medication ... every day. I am glad to take it. I don't have any weird voices any more." Li also told Summerville he would like to be forgiven. "I would do anything for (McLean's) family. I would ask forgiveness, but I know it would be hard to accept," Summerville quoted Li as saying. That forgiveness may be a tall order. "I think for the advancement of my own being ... my own soul, I will have to come to a place of accepting," Carol DeDelley, McLean's mother, said Tuesday. "But what would be unforgivable for me would be ... to not do anything to try to prevent this from happening again by the same perpetrator. I don't think Vince Li can be trusted to take his medication." DeDelley wants Li kept in a mental hospital permanently, but expects that he will gain more freedom every year until he is eventually released. "If he's not responsible for his own behavior, then the state, the government, must step in and be responsible for him for the rest of (his) natural life." Li emigrated to Canada from China in 2001 and became a Canadian citizen four years later.
