Ok I just saw something on Twitter that has made me go :-O
Apparently there has been an attack in America and the 'zombie' word is coming up.
No really!
The government are blaming drugs for the fact that a man, completely naked and in broad daylight tried to eat another man alive!! I've never heard of drugs causing that??

The conspiracy theorist are already blaming secret governmental testing and tbh I am baffled. Am i being unreasonable to post this on here as nobody is awake and I just want someone to verify that Im not imagining things and that this report is here and that it definitely isn't the beginning of a zombie apocalypse and I don't need to stock up on water and tampons!!!?

I'll give you the link but some of the pics are grotesque so you have been warned. img.ibtimes.com/www/articles/20120529/346484_miami-cannibal-rudy-eugene-photos-zombie-attack.htm

My friend is also awake and just said that apparently there have been reports of the drug PCP causing canibalism in one or two other cases.

Just another reason why we shouldn't hang out with drug-takers.....they might eat you!! :-S

Link doesn't work I'm afraid.

kittyandthefontanelles · 30/05/2012 02:17

Exactly. PCP is dreadful stuff. Although in my line of work it means Personal Centered Planning

Nope, sorry. It's just bringing up an article on survivalist principles! Must sleep now.

JarethTheGoblinKing · 30/05/2012 02:34

This has been linked a fair bit on here... it's pretty grim really. Everybody keeps LOLing about the zombie possibility, but it's pretty gruesome when you actually think about it.

There was another one today, where a Man disembowelled himself and cut bits of gut and skin off and threw them at police Confused. The world gets crazier with each passing minute.

Yep, was on the morning news here in the Caribbean, happened in Miami - a homeless guy was off his tits on LSD and attacked another homeless guy and started to eat his face. The police shot him but he still didn't stop so they carried on shooting until he was dead.
I haven't seen the photos, I don't want to see the photos. I can only assume that the poor people who saw it first hand and had to deal with it will be having nightmares for a long time, the poor guys.
Not to mention the poor victim. It's like a fucking horror film.

kittyandthefontanelles · 30/05/2012 04:35

Oops yes it's worked now. Ewww...the close up of the victim's face is something else! God awful.

Moominsarescary · 30/05/2012 07:40

I can't see the link but it sounds awful

takingiteasy · 30/05/2012 07:55

Fucking hell!

Birdsgottafly · 30/05/2012 07:55

Seeming as people are taking this as a joks, google 'drug related attacks on children in the US', it will no doubt have you laughing all day.

Moominsarescary · 30/05/2012 08:00

Pcp is bloody awful stuff

TandB · 30/05/2012 08:00

This doesn't sound terribly funny. Confused

Moominsarescary · 30/05/2012 08:02

I don't think anyone has said it is funny

kittyandthefontanelles · 30/05/2012 09:21

Why do you think it is being taken as a joke? The zombie conspiracy theory is ridiculous, the actual situation is very grave. I don't think anyone was laughing.

I think it's horrible that people are lol-ing all over the internet about this being a zombie attack. This would have been a living nightmare of the worst order for the poor man who was attacked :(

Lemarch point taken. I'm not taking the piss though, really Im not, Im just so unbelievably freaked out. If its possible to nervous laugh on the internet, that's what Im doing.

It is horrendous...I am aghast at all the other reports of similar incidents and I genuinely am worried about what it al means, effects of drugs or otherwise.

Don't worry thatisall, I first saw the story online a couple of days ago and couldn't get it out of my head. Like something from 'The Walking Dead' and certainly no joke. Apparently he was high on a form of LSD or PCP (no idea which), which when taken in high amounts causes the user to get highly aggressive and feel like their internal organs are burning up (thus the stripping of the clothes).

It was truly awful and I am far too chicken to look at the pics.

rhondajean · 30/05/2012 13:12

Found the disembowelling story - it was in. New jersey.

Pepper spray didn't subdue him.

Some very very strange things going on.

As I posted on another thread, apparently president Putin has a gun which uses electromagnetic fields to zombiefy people. Can't see him testing it on a homeless man in miami mind you.
