Florida: Naked Man Killed by Police Near MacArthur Causeway Was ‘Eating’ Face Off Victim
May 27th, 2012[???]
Via: Miami Herald:
One man was shot to death by Miami police, and another man is fighting for his life after he was attacked, and his face allegedly half eaten, by a naked man on the MacArthur Causeway off ramp Saturday, police said.
The horror began about 2 p.m. when a series of gunshots were heard on the ramp, which is along NE 13th Street, just south of The Miami Herald building.
According to police sources, a road ranger saw a naked man chewing on another man’s face and shouted on his loud speaker for him to back away.Meanwhile, a woman also saw the incident and flagged down a police officer who was in the area.
The officer, who has not been identified, approached and, seeing what was happening, also ordered the naked man to back away. When he continued the assault, the officer shot him, police sources said. The attacker failed to stop after being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.
Miami police were on the scene, which was just south of The Miami Herald building on Biscayne Boulevard. The naked man who was killed lay face down on the pedestrian walkway just below the newspaper’s two-story parking garage. Police have requested The Herald’s video surveillance tapes.
The other man was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to police. Their identities were not released.
…
Police theorize the attacker might have been suffering from “cocaine psychosis,” a drug-induced craze that bakes the body internally and often leads the affected to strip naked to try and cool off.

The Zombie Apocalypse has started; patient zero will have half a face!
Ummm, really I thought the zombie apocalypse was only a joke. Wow!!! This is great.
I hate it when they publish assumptions as fact. he may have been jacked up on coke.. He could have also been in Florida, where it’s really hot. Today, the “feels like” temperature in Miami is 94F. He could have also been a complete lunatic.
But, I’m willing to keep an open mind. It could be the beginning of the Zombie Apocalypse. Who would have though it would start in Miami. 🙂
I don’t know whether people are aware of the beheading & cannibalization that occurred on a Greyhound bus outside Winnipeg in 2008.
The perp, Vincent Li, claimed his victim was an alien, so he had to be killed. Li hasn’t explained, however, why he had to be eaten.
Li was found ‘not guilty by reason of schizophrenia’ and is currently enjoying daypasses into the community.
My son was attending university at the time. He and his fellow students began referring to the company as the Headless Hound as in “Hey, I’m taking the Headless Hound to Toronto”

never sought sex and never fought—they just ate, slept, and groomed, wrapped in narcissistic introspection. Elsewhere, cannibalism, pansexualism, and violence became endemic. Mouse society had collapsed.
In a way, the creatures had ceased to be mice long before their death—a “first death,” as Calhoun put it, ruining their spirit and their society as thoroughly as the later “second death” of the physical body.
