Miami police warn of 'Cloud Nine' drug after homeless man threatens to eat officers

Is anybody else troubled by the lack of a definitive statement tying bath salts to zombification?  The oblique highlights in red.  The Telegraph.  Excerpts:

Police in Florida have warned of a potent new mind-altering drug called 'Cloud Nine', after a homeless man threatened to eat two officers a week after a naked man chewed off most of a homeless man's face before being shot dead. (Homeless man under the influence of bath salts?  But it doesn't say that, now does it?)




The ecstasy-like drug is part of a new line of over-the-counter "bath salts" implicated in last week's attack.


The police department is now warning officers to be extremely cautious around disorderly homeless men and telling the public to call police immediately if they see anyone showing signs of being on the new drug.

In the latest incident, Miami police took Brandon De Leon into custody after he entered a restaurant shouting obscenities and initially resisted arrest.

On the way to the station he slammed his head against the plexiglass barrier in the patrol car, shouting to the officers: "I'm going to eat you!"

Later, the 21-year-old growled and grunted like an animal, and tried to bite an officer's hand, police said, prompting them to fit him with a bite mask and leg restraints.

In addition to the Cloud Nine, police also believe De Leon finished off a bottle of rum and was working on a beverage called Four Loko, which combines alcohol and caffeine. He tested positive for marijuana, Xanax and alcohol.



The case "bears resemblance to an incident that occurred in the city of Miami last week, when a male ate another man's face," a police memo to officers warned.

"Please be careful when dealing with the homeless population during your patrols."

Since a large percentage of homeless people are mentally ill and will, sooner or later, show some of these same symptoms zombies supposedly have(In public, that is..), there should be an uptick in arrests of the homeless.  The bath salts/zombie cannibal angle provides cover to arrest the easily agitated.  And those crazy, cornered homeless people will, at some point, become agitated, causing an overreaction by authorities, causing more headlines from the media outlets.  An expanding, sensational meme circle, growing larger and more sinister with each event..

Bath salt users are on the increase.  Who's manufacturing this shit, who's making money on it? 

And why the uptick of horrifying violence?  Did the recipe change, or are humans more susceptible the crazy around them and just embracing the madness?  A bad omen, this is..
