the naked guy was white, they have video and it shows the guys legs after he was shot... not sure about the guy getting eaten tho

Finally! Watching all those zombie flicks, and reading all those zombie books, and memorizing The Zombie Survival Guide is finally going to pay off!

The Miami Zombie has a name: Police told local press that the naked man they shot to death when he wouldn't stop eating another guy's face is 31-year-old Rudy Eugene, and that he was in the depths of the world's worst acid trip when it happened.



The local CBS affiliate has word that cops are blaming a new batch of LSD for the zombie-like state in which they found Eugene, naked, chewing on his victim's face. There's not much information available about Eugene yet, except for that he was divorced and his ex-wife said "he always felt like people [were] against him," The Miami Herald's Diana Moscovitz and David Ovalle reported. The Associated Press has the terrifying and surreal witness account to police:

“The guy was, like, tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, ‘Get off!’ ’ Mr. Vega said. ”The guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin.” Mr. Vega flagged down a Miami police officer, who he said repeatedly ordered the attacker to get off the victim. The attacker picked his head up and growled at the officer, who then shot the attacker more than once, Mr. Vega said.

Eugene's victim, who hasn't been identified, is in the hospital in "extremely critical condition," the Herald reported. "Much of his face was gone, the skin ripped away, the nose bitten and the eyes gouged. What remained was his goatee and little else."



The zombie-like behavior has, naturally, inspired a Twitter account for the Miami Zombie. As Miami New Times' Francisco Alvarado notes, it's also given rise to a new discussion of so-called excited delirium, which is a phenomenon police have associated with people so out of control on drugs (usually cocaine, but in this case LSD) they're impervious to pain. NPR had a report in 2007 about the controversial diagnosis, which isn't a universally recognized medical condition, and which civil liberties groups say police use to cover up excessive force. So far, we haven't seen many complaints of excessive force in this particular case.

Worst Acid Trip in History Blamed in Miami Face-Chewing Attack

Would have been so cool if his name were Bub.

i guess i better get to the gun store...

I'll gas up Dead Reckoning.

By "blaming" it on acid, does that mean they have a tox screen test that identified the problem definitely as being acid? Where did this acid come from? Is it being sold on the streets? How many people are using it?

Awesome. That's the plot for the 1976 horror flick Blue Sunshine-

kind of weird, at first it was coke, now acid... and last i heard, they didn't have a test to detect acid in our system... and since when does a toxicology report come back that fast? most of the time it is weeks, not 2 days....

This thread was more exciting than the last three women who e-mailed me!

at least you have three women that email you...

Apparently it was NOT acid. But a combination of chemicals that can be gotten over the counter and have PCP like effects. I will see if I can find the source I read earlier. Not that it matters, humans can elicit all kinds of strange behaviors even without drugs.

BTW
The force continuum does not support using a firearm when a person committing an assault does not stop. IMHO, he should have not shot the man as the first step after issuing orders.

If a citizen had done this instead of an officer it would already be something they would try to get him on manslaughter for.

Silly me, I thought he was trying to get the coke out of the guys nose.

Seriously ****ed up acid trip.....

i would have shot him...in the head, too...

Where is Torgo? We should write a great horror movie script off of this!

But seriously, drugs are bad....MmmKay!?!

i don't normally eat peoples faces,
but when i do,
i do it naked...
