Zombie Apocalypse

Eugene (left) and victim Poppo

There is a story from The Miami Herald that has people all over talking.  Most are horrified by this story, while others chuckle and utter the dreaded words "Zombie Apocalypse"!  Could it be, the one thing George Romero has been waiting for since he directed the movie Night Of The Living Dead?  THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!  It happened two days ago in North Miami Beach when a bike rider came upon two naked men laying along the exit ramp of MacArthur Causeway.  It's Miami, that's not unusual right?  The weird part is one man was actually chewing off the face of the other.  Thirty one year old Rudy Eugene was witnessed ripping the flesh off of the face of Ronald Poppo with his teeth, like a ravenous animal thirsting for flesh.  Can you say ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE?  Witness Larry Vega flagged down police when he came upon the carnage  on the roadside.  "The guy was, like, tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, 'Get off!'". "The guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin", reported Vega.  When the Miami police got to the scene the officer reported that zombified Rudy Eugene had actually chewed off about 75% of his victims face.  When the police officer yelled at Eugene to back away, the naked man merely raised his head "with pieces of flesh in his mouth," growled, and began chewing again.  The officer reportedly then shot Eugene once, but Eugene still continued to attack the man's face, prompting the officer to shoot multiple times until he was dead.  The big question here is did the officer shoot him in the head?  We all know that is the only way to put down a Zombie!

Poppo's face after attack.

As we dig deeper into this horrifying incident, more details arise.  Both Eugene and his victim Poppo were homeless.  Eugene had a history of arrests dating back to when he was 16 years old.  Court records show that although he was arrested several times, they were for minor offenses. His ex-wife described him as having violent tendencies, but is shocked by the attack.  Eugene became homeless after his wife divorced him and his house was foreclosed on.  Miami police are speculating that the attack was caused by bath salts.  This LSD type of drug will cause the body to heat up like the desert thus explaining the removal of the clothes.  It also gives the person super human strength which explains multiple gun shots to subdue Eugene.  To all of this I say, "No Way, Jose'"!  As for Poppo, he had been homeless for almost 30 years and also had a list of minor scrapes with the law.

The fact is there have been multiple flesh eating attacks around the country that have gone virtually unreported.  There was another incident after the popular Ultra Festival in Florida where a guy was walking around naked, and was hit by a taxi. He jumped on top of the taxi, beat the people inside and ripped at their flesh. It took 15 officers to stop him, and as he was being tasered, he was begging them to shoot and kill him," says Aguilar. "But because we had that many officers we were able to subdue him and take him to the hospital where they basically froze him."  Was he frozen for research?  There have been reports of flesh eating attacks in Cape Coral, Florida, in Metaitie, Louisiana, Hackensack, New Jersey and East Sussex, England.  The fact is that the incidents that I just mentioned all happened within the last 2 years.  Should we expect more?  I think the answer is "BRAINS, BRAINS".  Prepare now for the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!
