Holy, holy shit. Raw Story. Entire article, but the last sentence and video(Go to the link if you want the video. I won't watch it.):
Disturbing new details have emerged about an incident in Miami, Florida in which police shot and killed a man who was tearing off and eating another man’s face. According to Miami’s WSVN, the victim, who is believed to be homeless, lost 75 percent of his face in the attack and is in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Police claim that the dead man was overdosing on a new, powerful form of Lysergic Acid Diethlymide, the hallucinogen commonly known as LSD.
Eyewitness Larry Vega was bicycling on the MacArthur parkway on Saturday afternoon when he saw the two naked men locked in a grisly struggle. The scene, he said, was like something from a horror movie.
“And the guy was like tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, ‘Get off!’” Vega said, “You know it’s like the guy just kept eating the other guy away like ripping his skin.”
Vega flagged down a police officer, who ordered the attacker to let his victim go. The attacker ignored him, but when the officer jumped the concrete divider and shouted, Vega said, “the guy just stood his head up like that with a piece of flesh in his mouth and growled.”
The officer opened fire, striking the suspect, who barely paused as he continued to rip away the homeless man’s face. The officer fired several more times until the attacker was dead.
More police swarmed the scene and the victim was caught on Miami Herald surveillance cameras as he struggled to sit up. His face, said Vega, “was just a blob of blood. You couldn’t really see, it was just blood all over the place.”
Police spokesman Armando Aguillar told reporters that the suspect may have been overdosing on a new, super-potent form of LSD. ”What’s happening is whenever we see that a person has taken all of his clothes off and has become violent, it’s indicative of this excited delirium that’s caused by overdose of drugs,” he said, “What’s happening is inside their body their organs are burning up alive.”
Neither man’s identity has been released to the public.
That's a real bad societal omen, don't you think? Awesome. At best, this is "Killer LSD Side Effects Include Severe, Violent Zombie-ism, Flesh Eating, Hyper-Strength, And Bullet-Tolerance." At its worst, this is "Zombie Attacks Man; Eats Face. Cause Of Event; Unknown." Has Science finally created a new type of drug, similar to whatever it mimics, but much, much stronger and horrifying? Is there really a need for hyper-violent hallucinogens? Could we not work on technology that helps humanity, not fills it with The Hallucinating Undead?
Instead, we get Zombie LSD. Or Zombies. Par for the course in "Universe B."
Also: I'm not totally convinced this isn't a zombie, or something similar to that archetype.. The small, but high-profile flesh eating bacteria outbreaks around the world are.. Disturbing, and terribly coincedental. And yes, this is 2012, so, well, whatever happens; Happens..
Stories like this make me really doubt our chances for survival.
