Neither had I.

I DO hope it's not something kids can buy at Bed Bath and Beyond.

The higher you are, the more brain cells are dying. Different drugs kill different cells. I WISH they were readily apparent cells like "oh, my arm no longer works, I guess I should get off drugs", but it isn't. It's cognitive function stuff.

If meth was involved, I want to know. If LSD was involved, I want to know. If bath salts were involved, I want to know. It's easy to demonize "drugs" and I think that's all the more reason we should just get a straight up lab report from the authorities in this case.

Just want to put this out there... but why. Certain drugs are well known to have hallucinogenic properties with mutilation (self or other) being well documented (during the high and years later). Regardless of which drug it was, KNOWING the exact one in this case will not change the fact that the others can have the same outcome, nor change the mind of those already doing them (or may do them in the future.)
the guy was high, out of his mind, and chewed off a man's face.
Let's just be happy it wasn't a zombie. That would REALLY scare me.![]()

I can't even imagine the awful life he will have if he survives. Considering the extent of his injuries, he will not be able to see, talk, eat or even breathe normally again even with skin grafts etc. He has no family or friends stepping up to support him. It's just so horrible.

According to CNN's post today, " [...] The [security] footage shows that attacker, identified by Miami-Dade Police as Rudy Eugene, 31, walking along the sidewalk and then stopping in a shaded area created by the tramway bridge. He apparently attacks the victim, dragging him out from the shade, stripping the victim's clothes off and then beating him as the victim kicks his legs in an apparent attempt to fight back. http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/30/security-video-shows-entire-miami-zombie-attack/
So perhaps the victim was an innocent homeless guy that was there at the wrong time and place. Regardless, no one deserves this. I wonder if there is a fund where we can donate money to help the victim's medical costs.![]()
Actually it's not. Bath salts are not actual bath salts, although they were at one time. Bath salts in this context contains an amphetamine.iLander|1338325092|3205725 said:kenny|1338324894|3205720 said:kenny|1338324866|3205719 said:Imdanny|1338324658|3205711 said:I don't disagree.

Indeed.
I hate to say this but if the universe had any mercy he would have died.
