Two naked men, I wonder what they were doing before the attack?
To me it looks like they were both high on the same stuff. I feel for the man who had 75% of his face chewed of, but maybe better him than some innocent out walking the dog.
Actually, the attacker was a 31 yr old man who was built like a brick shithouse. The victim was a 65 yr old homeless man, who had been living on the streets for 30 years. He was fully clothed at the time of the attack, and was sleeping under the overpass, looking for some shade to get out of the sun. There is a 26 minute video shot from the roof of the Miami Herald building security cameras, which show Rudy Eugene (the attacker) naked, coming upon the victim and pouncing on him. The attack itself takes 18 minutes in total, and during that time he alternates between dragging him, disrobing him and "eating" him. The last 7 or 8 minutes of the video show the first cruiser on the scene, one lone officer who had no choice but to shoot.
I just wanted to clarify that the victim was indeed a total innocent, albeit homeless. He did absolutely nothing to deserve this, and it is horrifying. Watching the video gave me chills..18 minutes may not sound like a long time, but to me it seemed an eternity as the attack went on.
There is also a video of the paramedics treating the victim before taking him away, and to my complete horror, he is wide awake and moving. There is no sound to either video, but I have to believe that poor man was screaming as cars, monorails and bicyclists rode by.
As Secret said, don't google the image if you don't have a strong constitution...I am a horror movie buff, especially zombie movies...this is no movie, it is real, and it is the most horrifying thing I have ever seen in my life.
By all accounts I have read so far, the attacker was not a bad person, quite gentle natured actually. He had been at a music festival, and probably decided to try some drug he knew nothing about, ie. these "bath salts". His car had broken down after he dropped off his girlfriend, and he started walking, stumbling upon the victim. Wrong place, wrong time for both of them. I am sure no one forced him to take this drug, however who here hasn't experimented in days past with things? There has been things as simple as marijuana laced with PCP, cocaine cut with bad shit, etc. Someone needs to do something about this drug NOW. This is NOT an isolated incident, as I've found out. I'm already warning my almost 12 yr old daughter about this...we know how kids love to experiment. I've shown her ALL the pictures, so that she has a full understanding of the consequences of ingesting things you don't understand.
One consequence of this particular drug is something called "excited delirium", which can also be caused by cocaine psychosis, drug toxicity, etc. Google that term, and see what comes up. It's unreal. Watch some of the videos of how five or six 6 foot plus cops can't subdue one lone man, who is in this state. Tasering does nothing.
I'm sorry, don't mean to ramble...I really just wanted to highlight that the victim in this case was totally innocent. I have done many drugs in my younger days, and been around people high on all kinds of things...but this, this is something else entirely. Please educate yourselves, and especially your children if they are at an appropriate age.
