I hope somewhere there is some agency that is keeping track of the number of these bath salts attacks that cause people to want to eat flesh. One of the more scary ones happened in Georgia. I'm actually shocked the man wasn't shot and killed. I think in Los Angeles he would have been. What happened was the 21 year old came running at police while he was naked and swinging a golf club at him. Oh yeah, he would have definitely been killed here for doing that. Anyway, police tried pepper spray. Didn't even make the guy blink. They tasered him numerous times and he just kept coming. Finally, after the 14th taser, he went down and it still took lots of officers to hold him down and get him secured. The entire time he was telling the police how he wanted to eat their faces. I'm pretty sure there is someone writing a script to a movie that will cost a few thousand bucks and is going to involve an army of people on bath salts and how they take over the world.
Jebus, wouldn't he have burst into flames after the 14th taser?
ReplyDeleteThis shit is so fucking scary....
ReplyDeleteI know I should not ask but curiosity is getting the better of me, are they orally ingesting the bath salt? injecting? sniffing? How are they abusing this ish?!?!
ReplyDeleteJust something about all these "zombie" stories seems forced and not right *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe first guy was not on bath salts. Just nuts.
ReplyDeleteIve only heard of that type of behavior coming from someone who uses PCP, i mean, Ive watched someone high off their ass on PCP running full speed thru a wooden fence like it wasn't even there. i'm sure these 'bath salts' are very similar to PCP, but they are NOT zombies unless they died and came back to life to feast on human flesh. These people are drug induced cannibals! There has been enough zombie movies out, i don't get why they're still being called zombies.
ReplyDeletewhere is George Romero when you need him.....you can't make this shit up! so there was a case over in asia too...good. it dosen't just look like an american thing.
ReplyDeleteAll I know is, every scary Zombie movie I have seen (I have seen lots, check out Zombie Ninja,totally awful fun) at some point early into it the CDC puts out a statement declaring there is No Zombie Threat. A few weeks ago, the CDC did just that. Hmmmmm. I have my escape plan and copy of Max Brooks books on hand. *wink wink* seriously though, I am not buying the "bath salt" explaination at all
ReplyDeletecute!yet a reboot of WAR ZONE Z
ReplyDeleteNB:maybe the guy was under PCP or crazy or the story is only garbage
@MontanaMarriott - snorting
ReplyDeletebtw, my friend had an interesting theory.
ReplyDeletehe said you know mad cow disease? what about a similar strain, a bacterium if you will, that infects peoples brains and makes them crazy. he said animals forced to (unnaturally) eat other (same kinds) of animals-as in sheep forced to eat sheep may have caused all of this. oh drunken theories! or are they?
MontanaM-forgive me if I'm totally misunderstanding your question, but are you under the impression that they're ingesting Calgon? If so (and that was my initial impression, so I had to look it up), what it actually is is a manufactured drug that causes all kinds of weird freaky stuff to happen - hallucinations, paranoia, etc. It's sold in places like smoke shops as "bath salts" and labeled "not for human consumption" for legal purposes. (However, 3 of the chemicals used are illegal.) People take it in different ways - snorting, shooting, mixing it with food/drink.
ReplyDeleteHere's where I got my info:
http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/features/bath-salts-drug-dangers
I put this somewhere else but I'll also put it here:
ReplyDeleteBath Salts - snorting. HOWEVER - because people who resort to snorting bath salts are accustomed to snorting coke or meth, they tend to make much LARGER lines than they should (according to happy bath salt users).
For this reason, people freak out because they unintentionally (naively) do waaaay too much.
That is from a well-adjusted occasional bath salts user on Reddit. (all paraphrased)
... because apparently it's necessary for us to know there are "well-adjusted, occasional" bath salt users.

The face-eating guy wasn't on "bath salts" - http://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/06/27/medical-examiner-causeway-cannibal-not-high-on-bath-salts/ - nor PCP, nothing stronger than marijuana. So likely he was just insane.
ReplyDeleteMy friend said he is getting a tattoo on his chest saying "Not intended for Human Consumption". Goofball
ReplyDeleteAdBlocker for Chrome kicks ass. Thank god, no new tabs with stupid online game ads are opening anymore. Thanks @Vicki or @Anita (I think) for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteOh great! I was just waiting for it to hit my state. Didn't take long! I'm carrying a shotgun.
ReplyDeleteGenetically modified foods, medicines, and vaccines it was bound to happen. Don't worry, the CDC wants you to be prepared http://www.cdc.gov/phpr/zombies.htm :) Also, these officers apparently forgot the most important rule of all: double tap.
ReplyDeleteI just can't process this recent face-eating trend while high on some strange new chemical. The world is scaring me in ways it never did before. What is going on, yikes.
ReplyDeleteTwriggy...first is Cardio (sadly I'm so in the poor fat bastard category!). Double tap. LOL. Love that movie.
ReplyDeleteThanks Twriggy - ha ha ha the CDC site is pretty cool. They say that if you prepare for a zombie apocalypse you should be prepared for most disasters so they support zombie preparedness. They even have a blog.
ReplyDelete@BigMama
ReplyDeleteI concur! I'm a flesh eater (they actually aren't zombies) aficionado and know the drill. The CDC does some cover-up crap about "drugs" or some such nonsense being the cause and bam! Flesh eaters everywhere!
The first guy (case) was not on bath salts!
Was this guy really on bath salts? Or are authorities just throwing that out there like the Miami case, which ended up not being true. I read another one of these face chewing incidents happened in China. The guy was just drinking then lost it - forced some lady off the road, dragged her out of her car and started chewing. I don't know what is going on, but its not "bath salts", which sound foul btw.
ReplyDeleteEnty, you're right, L.A. cops would have taken his ass out in two notes.
ReplyDeleteLoading up on Twinkies now.
ReplyDeleteI've watched Intervention for years and the most messed up person was the bath salts guy. It wasn't until that episode that I had heard about bath salts. Holy fuck, that guy was in bad bad shape. And he didn't get off them.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I have offered no browser advice :) Just my html skillz.
Not to defend bath salts, but they were not involved in any of these cases. So that leaves the next logical explanation. ZOMBIES!!!!!
ReplyDeletewatch, they're gonna say only herb was in his system.
ReplyDelete"IT'S THE POT...he was on the POT"
I'm going to keep calm till I see Soylent Green in my freezer section.
ReplyDelete**** I don't buy that miami coroner report. Besides, how do we know how long these bath salts stay on ones system. What we do know, is that all drugs tests really only bust herb tokers, b/c it's the only things that stays in the system for, what could be over a month!
ReplyDeleteI'm not buying this bath salt madness! Bath Salts = Bull Shit.
ReplyDeleteCrazy high people will use any excuse to get away with bad behavior. Just sayin'
@omama they already are -.-
ReplyDelete**IN ones system, 'scuse me
ReplyDeleteI'm still wiping the crust from my eyes.
i've been replaying resident evil just to prepare myself for the apparent soon to be zombie take over. i've got my shot gun ready and i'm well stocked on baked beans.
ReplyDeleteNoone has their face eaten in this video, but it's still fricking terrifying...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/82367180/
My stepdad is the health director of the county this was taken in, and I dont plan on visiting anytime soon!!!
@OMAMA is BROKO - problem is that it is super expensive to develop tests that detect some of the newer drugs, and they pop up so soon that it is sometimes inpossible to test for the new stuff. Still possible that the guy had taken stuff that they didnt have tests for yet, or that they broke down quickly in his body.
ReplyDeleteThe world is becoming more and more insane. Calgon, take me away.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes anyone ever hear about bath salts and think, oooh yeah, that sounds like fun?
ReplyDeleteI mean, you hear that cocaine can be fun and heroine makes you feel blissed out so I supposed I can imagine the allure (tho I myself am scared to death of da drugs) but I have never heard a single appealing thing about a bath salts high...??
Oh, and a guy here in our small town died of bath salts a few months ago. Now I hear his girlfriend just did too.
@Rose, pun intended? CALGON (a "bath salt") take you away? ;-P
ReplyDeleteLast year a cop was killed in my town bc a guy was on bath salts. He thought the cop was a monster and stabbed him.
ReplyDeleteThe movie script ENTY referred to is already out...I Am Legend...well, the cannibalism part anyway.
ReplyDeleteEither way, no one's going to tell us the truth. Because the truth probably is it's a synthetic monster that the big pharm's created.

I kind of think the whole "It was bath salts!" thing is bullshit, too. Something is going on and I don't think the authorities have any idea what it is, and they are trying to prevent panic. Plus, it just reminds me of all those episodes of "Buffy" where the principle and Sunnydale police would explain the supernatural happenings at the school as "Some gang members on PCP!"
ReplyDelete"Syfy" channel movie with Lou Diamond Phillips as the put apon sherriff and Kari Wuhrer as his single mom love interest.
ReplyDeleteYou can flip those too, by the way!
I also heard the first Zombie attacker who ate the guy's face - he only had weed in his system. Does that mean the poor gentleman had the WORST. MUNCHIES. EVER. ?
ReplyDelete(That joke was in poor "taste", I know. Sorry. Oops, accidental puns are even worse).
Mankind has lost it's mind.
This whole face eating business is some scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, does anyone know if there is a video of this incident?? I'm not going to lie, I love a good tasing.
Heehee @Himmmm
ReplyDelete@Figgy, yep. ;p
ReplyDelete@Ingrid - love that one. My eldest and I have a long standing date once a month on Sat to sit around watching bad SyFy movies and take bets on who dies first. I find it takes the edge off my week. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and Lou is in a new TV series my husband tortures me with. Love Lou, hate hate hate Wyoming.
ReplyDeleteIt peeves me off greatly that they said nothing stronger than marijuana was *found* in the crazy face-eater's system.
ReplyDeleteDammit! We'll NEVER get pot legalized!!!
Gyahhhhh
I mean, I know the newfangled weed is far stronger than the old dirt we used to smoke, but dayum!
Also, Calgon gave me a painful something "up inside" when I was a teenager, so no thank you. Didn't like the shit when you just sat in it, and I sure as hell ain't snortin' it! Haaaaaa

ReplyDelete@selenakyle - girl, you kill me!
ReplyDeleteOh, and in reference to the "munchy" joke - that was totally a groan moment.
Ok, so back to the Zombie escape route I'm planning. ;)
@OMAMA, I'm with you...not buying the Miami coroner's report, AT ALL. As a Floridian and long ago employee of the State Attorney's Office in an adjacent county to MIA, I know how...creative...our local and state cops can get.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, government conspiracy, testing on our US population before taking this overseas. My husband has it all mapped out (not in a nutcase way, though...we just love a good conspiracy theory).
Love the Soylent Green and Zombieland references. ;)
Cornbread, I think your husband needs to shop that story to Showtime or HBO....
ReplyDeleteI think this is soooooo scary.
I heard the Miami guy was high on pot and not bathsalts.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, what the FREAK is wrong with these people? Why would you take bathsalts when this keeps happening?
It's scary that they seem to become extra strong when they take t.
The thing about bath salts is that it's a synthetic drug, with an ever-changing recipe used to keep it legal. It's hard to detect and pinpoint it in people's blood because the recipe is always changing. I truly believe the man in Florida was on bath salts, and maybe they couldn't detect that particular recipe in his blood.
ReplyDeleteEither way, it's very scary. Legal speed, and easy to procure.
Ok, so if these drugs are not the same thing as what people bathe in (correct?), then why are they called "bath salts?" If they are sold for something other than human consumption, what are they sold to be/do, and if that purpose is not as a bathing substance, who decided they should be named after a bathing substance? I get so confused...
ReplyDeleteI just don't get the "Bath Salts"= Zombie Madness either. Months ago around in winter we had two men take bath salts and strip naked and fell asleep in the snow. Now this is literally Night of the Living Dead country in Pennsylvania. You say zombie we shout George R.
ReplyDeleteDid they screw with the formulas to make everyone go violent? The only thing these rocket scientists wanted was to sleep in the snow, not want your nose on rye bread with Mayo and a dill pickle.
Here is a link to the police video--scroll to the bottom and you will see it...It's crazy! Don't make me eat you!

My daughter learned a new song at camp:
ReplyDeleteHey' I just met you, and this is crazy,
But I'm on bath salts -- your face looks tasty.
Just sayin'.
@cornbread, ditto. Will not believe one word out of that office.
ReplyDelete@snglmom73 - my eldest and I have several versions of that song. I just sang yours to her and made her spit her drink across the room. Thank you, thank you so very much!
ReplyDeleteOkay, CIA spooks, FBI, CDC, WHO, get the freaking bath salts off the market or give us all guns for the zombie apocalypse. Take mine. We have gun control, now we need Bath Salts control. Use the freakin bath beads, clean people.
ReplyDeleteLori and Cornbread both said what I was going to. There are probably no tests developed yet to figure out what these "bath salts" really are, so they say nothing but weed was found in this guy's system; and I heard a theory that the government is developing a "super soldier" drug (tasered 14 times?)and testing it on unsuspecting Americans before supplying it to troops overseas--or domestically.
ReplyDeletei too really believe this is something more. there is no freaking way that guy wasn't "on" something (Miami Zombie). i mean if you watch the video .. he was walking down the walkway like a zombie .. was ripping clothes of the guy throwing them right and left ... and just didn't stop ....
ReplyDeletewitness said he saw him chewing and swallowing flesh - yet they say there was no flesh in his stomach. BS!!
i think it's something too that our government is using to test on people ... kind of reminds me of the shit in the movie Max Payne .....
