Miami zombie attacker may have been using 'bath salts'

[Muhast]

yea, different from their normal behavior, but eating someone's face?? that, to me, is just so absolutely insane. If this stuff really turns people into zombies, then watch out!!!

I have never seen somebody do that, but I've seen people do some very odd things that normal people would never do. Like super human strength, 6 police officers trying to hold one average size person down and struggling to do so.

I feel so bad for the people driving on that highway that morning. Could you imagine seeing another person ripping another humans face to pieces right in front of you on your way to work or the store? I imagine that is a sight they will never forget.

 

[sacase]

On this drug yes evidently so but on most drugs I don't know of any where you use your teeth as a weapon to attack people.

Brah....two words....zombie apocalypse.

Mephedrone is only one of the drugs used in "Bath Salt" not the only drug within it's make up.

With illegal, 'street' drugs, you never know for sure what you are getting. So that's very likely to be an accurate observation.

I saw that on the discovery channel. The groups uses this as a worst case scenario but it really is more about basic survival should something catastrophic happen. I'm not one who really puts much thought into this but some of the things they said of things you would need to look out for was interesting.

 

[arglebargle]

It certainly does look like the beginning of a zombie movie or novel.

True but to make this particular drug there are certain ingredients that were needed to produce it.

I don't think this is "hyperbolic media disorder" when the user of this drug just ate 80% of this mans face and would not stop even when confronted by police and shot. Add to that other encounters by doctors when confronted with a user of this drug.

Crazy? Yes, eating a mans face off? that one is a new one for me.

Guy did not stop even when confronted by police or when they shot him the 1st time

A few years ago, some dude took mushrooms and ended up carving the still-beating heart out of his friends chest.

Not much of a friend. :laugh2:

I agree some drugs can create a delusional state of mind and cause people to become violent and paranoid. Eating a person is just a new one on me.

The story is suffering from hyperbolic media disorder. For any drug you want to examine, you can find a tale of extreme behavior or trouble.

I think I will wait to find out more about the facts here.

I don't think it's exaggeration.

I've been hearing of this stuff for a while.

I know a person who's brother passed away because of what happened while he was on it.

did his brother attack someone with his jaw?

Not that I am aware of.

When I was a firefighter I saw someone on PCP one time. That was scary enough. It took 6 of us to subdue him and that was after a really hard kick to the balls by one of my cohorts.

I can't even fathom something worse than PCP but this sounds like it could be.

You are two sick puppies, LOL. I can only assume no other "pups" survived from among the progenies each of you were born into.

So ... only children now, are we? :laugh2:

Would you give up eating someone else's face if it lowered your carbon footprint?

Good question. Hard to say. Once you develop a taste for something — other peoples' faces and such — it can be awfully hard to give it up. Eco-conscious or eating people's faces? Societal responsibility or societal abomination? I'd probably have to flip a coin.
