So my avatar gets censored because it contains a mild swearword, but this isn't censored? God bless America!

I don't know what the "mild" swear word was, but nothing is as bad that that.

Nothing.

mudslag, "very NSFW" is definitely the wrong warning on that one. Just allude to the fact that an extremely upsetting picture of the victim is available on the WWW, for those with very perverse "curiosity".
 
Second one this week, student ate his roommates heart and brain...is the zombpocalypse beginning?

If they said the guy was in custody and acting monsterous i'd worry, but then again.... you never know, do you?

----------

The attacker's mother is upset that police shot him instead of tazing him.

"My son was no zombie! [...] He loved God. He loved the Bible."

Sounds like a good Christian boy to me... Taking the Bible a little bit literally by eating flesh and drinking blood? :cool:

Gee thanks for using this thread to insult a world faith.

Whatever the guy's character or professions of faith, he had a criminal record, was married a very short time and his wife left him because she was scared of him (according to the reports) and oh...he chewed a guy's face off. His interest in Christianity, druidism or whatever, notwithstanding. I'm guessing he had issues.

I would have shot him too. One dude eating another dudes face. I am not going hands on with that guy. If he is willing to eat one face, mine may be dessert. Reminds me of the song RE: Your Brains by Jonathan Coulton. Great song!

I work in an ER and have seen many of the effects of bath salts. It's too early to see if there are long term effects or addictions. But I can personally attest that it cranks people up. Their body temps increase, heart rates get jacked up, and they fight like mad. The problem is all of the different "brands" have a different chemical make up. So even though some have been banned, different mixes pop up for legal sale. Also it's difficult to know what to expect, which puts us behind the treatment curve because we don't know what they actually consumed.
 
Yes this is really bizarre! It is also a little scary, too!

My kids play a few zombie games which I am not really thrilled about, but they are nearly of age. So, they are making some of their own choices.

But, how far will someone go if they are addicted the game to the point of acting out scenes from within?

I know this news release really probably has nothing to do with some of the games out there. But, just a thought to think about!
 
I don't necessarily see the connection to the zombie games and real life teeth to bone face eating. I would say mental illness and drug abuse are probably the real factors.

This has nothing to do with games and everything to do with dangerous chemicals being treated like recreational drugs.

Idiotic post is idiotic.

Bath salts seem to be a new trend in the states, where as they seem to have been around longer in the UK.......... Only the media call them 'bath salts'

Common ones here a mephedrone, methylone (both like MDMA) and they came to prominence since the UK banned a substance that is used to make MDMA, but is also used to make bombs (saffrole oil i think it was)..... Both of these seemed to be ok short term, but when the kids started going mental for it, and it was realised they often reacted very badly with alcohol its kind of started calming down again.... (and channels to get the banned manufacturing compound for MDMA opened up again).

Another newer one is MXE which is a replacement for ketamin...... this stuff puts people in coma's left right and center, as you only need 20 mg doses, but people do 200 mg doses thinking its like k.

I've seen discussions from a lot of people very 'in the know' that reckon this zombie stuff could be down to another legal high which never really took off over here called MDVP. This didnt take off because it is sketchy and only really psychonauts play with it. But again you need tiny doses, but idiots do massive ones.

I hope some of that info might help you sort people out in the A&E (ER if youre a yankee).

What is 'k'?

What I don't understand what do people get from this high? I mean I've only been drunk once (yes real story), and didn't get was so good about it. :/
