Zombie attack! (Naked in the News 3—update)



the attacker: Rudy Eugene


the victim: Ronald Poppo

Here are links to a couple of GRAPHIC pictures:

(It’s kinda gross, but no worse than stuff you’d see in a horror film.)


The attacker was known to have had anger issues and to have been violent. He also was seen sometimes in the area where the attack happened and was described as “frequently confused”.

He is suspected to have been on something called “bath salts”. 

It’s not Epson salts like you’d put in your bath. It’s likely methylenedioxypyrovalerone, although it could be something else.

It’s a relatively new drug, and therefore not illegal in most states. They’re even sold in some stores. (I’d never heard of it.) Apparently there’s no way to test for this. But the attacker’s behavior of stripping and being violent, strong, and out of control. Her was shot 4 times at, I would assume, fairly close range before he died. People using “bath salts” have been described as having “superhuman strength”. And it seems to raise the body temperature to the point, in extreme cases, of cooking the internal organs. 

The drug is a “recreational” or “party” drug. It’s inhaled or snorted, and it’s cheaper than cocaine. It induces hypothermia, paranoia, hallucinations, and agitation. There’s at least one other instance in which someone using this drug tried to bite somebody else.

Okay, so...you people with your crazy drugs are dangerous. It’s one thing to endanger your own life, but if you’re attacking other innocent people, then it’s wrong. Cut it out.
