It's Begun!

Yeah, wow... This was strange.
Clearly drugs mixed with insanity lead to this.
I mean, they were both naked too... what the hell?
 
You're right. The media mistaking a drug label really invalidates this entire thing.

Pack up folks, no drug problem here.

Oh there are drug problems. Almost all of them come from drugs that are taken legally.

Misinformation, misdiagnosis, and fear-mongering with inaccurate facts do no make "problems" go away. So far from what I can tell, these tactics create incarceration, failed states, and corporate profits. Good trade-off, eh?

I'm shadowplay and I approve this message.

Point to the part of my post where I claimed that the media's ignorance on drugs means that there is no drug problem. If anything, spreading ignorance makes the drug problem worse.

For example, this could lead to a discussion of what to do with powerful designer stimulants like MDPV. But they mixed up meth-like stimulants with LSD, which is a fundamentally different substance. So now there could be an unwarranted backlash against LSD while designer stimulants do not get the attention they deserve.

For what it's worth, MDPV has recently been scheduled. Not before somebody who was in my high school class died of an overdose and several of his "friends" were spotted doing lines of MDPV at his funeral, but it's a start. They had purchased it as "bath salts" from some sort of mom-and-pop health food store whose owners appear to have thought they actually were selling bath salts.

Do you see why ignorance of drugs and their effects can make the problem worse?
 
Or all it would take is for an unscrupulous mad scientist to poison the world's water supplies with the already-existent drug!

That will be Dr Lazar. Bonus points to anyone who gets this reference.
 
The people I've seen on those bath salts are straight up ********. Not for doing them, but while they're on them...they're just not functioning.

And its nothing like LSD, in any way.
 
News reports indicate the Miami Police officer had no choice but to shoot the cannibal. One wonders if this might have been the time to use a Taser?

Although usually i am not in favor of police using excessive force, if i was a policeman and saw a guy eating the face of another, i would probably shoot to kill as well.
 
I lived in Miami for years and I *rrrrrr* never saw anything like this at all. Sure, I came across a lot of stiffies... *bah-dum-bum* but nothing like this. I will say though *RRRR* that I uh... *rrrRRRRR!!!!* ...uh, have to go.

Second Zombie Case Occurs In New Jersey

The gruesome scene played out at a home in Hackensack, N.J., where 43-year-old Wayne Carter allegedly barricaded himself in on Sunday, NBC New York reported.

Officers got a call that morning when a witness said Carter was threatening to harm himself with a knife. Two cops responded, kicked in the door and found Carter in the corner, the station reported.

Carter allegedly ignored officers' orders to put down the knife, and instead began stabbing himself in the abdomen, neck and legs.

An attempt to pepper spray the bleeding man had no effect, the Associated Press reported.

That's when Carter -- disemboweled but responsive -- reportedly threw bits of his skin and intestines at the officers.


They decided to retreat and call in the Bergen County SWAT team, Hackensack police Lt. John Heinemann told reporters. The team was able to subdue Carter and get him to a hospital, where he remained in critical condition on Monday.

I'm not sure which is funnier. The fact that cops thought a man stabbing himself repeatedly would be bothered by pepper spray (why didn't they use salt spray?), or that, recognizing the possible threat of zombie contamination, they wisely retreated before they could catch it.

It would have likely had no effect. They don't feel pain while under the influence and it's near impossible for your face itself to seize up from a taser hit unless it is nearing fatal voltage. As said, he kind of was really intent on eating that man's face.
 
One of the funniest things I've seen in awhile:

The man accused of the hideous attack, and shot dead by a police officer, is 31-year-old Rudy Eugene who had deep roots in South Florida, with friends, family and a rap sheet.

Accused? He was shot to death while devouring the victim's face!
 
It's still a legal nicety that he hasn't been convicted of anything. :p
 
I recall more than 10 years ago when someone maimed two people using a sword, outside a temple. A bit like Highlander, away from holy ground ("there can be only one").

But this seems more interesting.

I think we need an updated thread about the (unreal as things stand) hypothesis that a zombie outbreak does happen. Or this thread's scope has to expand :)

It's actually because they can be sued (by relatives in this case I suppose) if they don't through in the alleged or accused... if he were acquitted anyhow...
Though I doubt the man will ever stand trial...

The news sources in question was definitely overly cautious.
