Not the story, I know that part, but why everyone is calling it a "zombie attack" when in fact, it was simply a man on drugs.
This guy was on a wacky version of amphetamines called "bath salts." This seems to be a new drug that has similar effects to LSD. Now, when it comes to amphetamines I'm sure we all saw Scarface, people on these drugs don’t go down easy. One of the side effects (like morphine) is that you don’t feel pain, so you can keep going after being shot several times - doesn't mean you're superhuman - just high. Granted, this guy went and ate someone's face off, but that also doesn't make him a zombie, just likely hallucinating and hungry, he probably thought he was eating a hamburger.
Apparently this is not the first incident the cops have encountered with some a-hole on drugs having superhuman strength. There was another person who was hit by a taxi, proceeded to climb on top of said taxi, and started beating up the car. It took 15 cops to subdue him, and in the process he took a female cop's baton and injured her arm with it. The only difference is that this guy didn’t eat anyone. I guess that's why this particular case of a high dumbass acting crazy is referred to as the zombie attack while the other one didn’t even make headlines.
Anyway I don’t care what they call it, but can we all stop talking about how there is a “zombie epidemic” and stop spreading mass panic? There are no zombies out there, just high/crazy people.
