Poll: Has Zombie Apocalypse Begun?

There have been two cannibalistic attacks in the last week.

 

Two recent cannibalistic attacks prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to publicly state that, to their knowledge, zombies do not exist.

"CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead (or one that would present zombie-like symptoms)," wrote agency spokesman David Daigle in an email to The Huffington Post.

On May 26, 31-year-old Rudy Eugene attacked a homeless man in Miami and ate about 75 percent of his face. Eugene's girlfriend told the Miami Herald that she believed Eugene, who is of Haitian descent, might have endured a vodou curse or been drugged.

She last saw Eugene at 5:30 a.m. when he left the apartment they shared carrying his bible and kissed her goodbye. By 2 p.m. he was naked on the Miami Causeway eating 65-year-old Ronald Poppo. Eugene was killed by police when he did not stop the attack after being ordered to.

Police have speculated that Eugene was under a drug-induced psychosis, possibly caused by "bath salts" or LSD. Friends and family say Eugene did not use hard drugs and the attack was totally out of character. CBS news has published a story, documenting what police know of Eugene's final hours before the attack.

On May 31, 21-year-old Alexander Kinyua told police he killed his roomate and ate his brain and heart. Kinyua had on May 20 randomly chased a fellow student with a baseball bat before running into nearby woods.

There have been other, intensely gruesome events recently. In New Jersey Wayne Carter, 43, stabbed himself 50 times when police came to his home. Carter also threw pieces of himself at officers.

And what about the monsters under your bed and in your closet? Is there a plan for those as well?
Donny June 4, 2012 at 07:32 pm
If I had to eat a face, it would look like his.

Jen would you say the (CDC) Center for Disease Control is repulsive and evil? Well you better, because the CDC has this to say about Zombies... http://www.cdc.gov/phpr/zombies.htm

I can't get over how these simple posts causes so much negative feedback. Personally, I want to read about and know about any and everything trending. These bizarre acts of violence are actual events and not made up. I for one, want to know what's going on in this screwed up society of ours. Had these incidents happened to any of us or to our loved ones, perhaps then, it wouldn't be so funny or ridiculous. People are nuts these days and it's getting worse. Have we forgotten about that Dahmer guy?

It's also a CDC story... http://www.cdc.gov/phpr/zombies.htm

I, as you, have wondered why "people" make light of the misery and pain that others are sometimes subjected to bear. I believe you must be 18 years of age to participate in this forum. Knowing this, there are those such as "donny" whom are childlike and doltish whether they are 18 or 80 years of age.
The moronic imbecilic undereducated attempt that he and others, like him, whom are paralleled in ignorant and insignificant thought and reasoning, are truly intellectually "damaged" at birth. And yet they feel they are a part of, and have contributed to, the human species. How very wrong they are. ---Semper Fi!

Sorry to have hurt your feelings Marine Sniper, I will call your mommy over to wipe your nose. If I had a marine, he would look like Marine Sniper.

At the end of the day we all have a choice as to what we decide to read. If you chose to read this article it obviously sparked some interest to you. So stop complaining and be more selective next time. Free press is what's its called, we don't want censorship!!

Marine Sniper: Take your Semper Fi and shove it! You speak like you are so uneducated and I doubt that you were ever a Marine. Do not insult the Marines or any other military entity with your barbaric tirades. I don't care what you have posted here. I am clearly entitled to my opinion, if you don't like it keep your ignorant comments to yourself. You are an embarrassment to our Military.
Marine Sniper June 4, 2012 at 11:41 pm
I wonder why Patch moderator you have chosen to delete two of my rebuttals back to two who initially chose to name call, yet you DID NOT delete any of theirs. You are showing that you are of a biased nature. Is it my moniker that offends you in someway, or possibly makes you jealous or envious, for the reason you may have been a coward to enlist in the Marine Corps. Give me a reason you chose to delete mine and not theirs. Or is it you have no chandeliers?
Semper Fi!
Marine Sniper June 4, 2012 at 11:52 pm
You sound like a 9 year-old girl who can't get her way. Grow up you moron. You can not take it when it is given back, can you? I would bet money you are a draft dodger. You need to go back to Canada, or back underground. You sound just like a wimp. Sure glad I never had a coward, like you, in the rice paddies with me. You are an embarrassment to our nation and yourself. What a DOLT!
GROW UP LITTLE GIRL! Do not insult the human species, MORON! ---Semper Fi!

Lighten up, Francis.
Brad Faxton June 5, 2012 at 12:54 am
Odd stuff with CENSORSHIP. "Other" posts were whacked too. Gotta love these micro-websites. One lone person with a god complex in a vast world of a billion dollar company trying to make a difference. Ok, boiling the ocean with a lighter.
Sir, I salute you for your service.
Marine Sniper June 5, 2012 at 01:03 am
I thank you for your post, sir. This I know will be hard to believe, but I had remember this from the movie. I was trying to find it on line, but could not. Thank you for your effort.
To all the "donnies" and the "life is good, because I contributed not", these are exactly my sentiments. ---Semper Fi!
Marine Sniper June 5, 2012 at 01:48 am
To Brad Faxton: There was no reply option in your comment.
I thank you for your thoughtful and respectful post. ---Semper Fi!
Marine Sniper June 5, 2012 at 02:54 am
1.) They did not goad me or lead me in a direction that I was never aware of being "lead" into. When "attacked" I will, reciprocate.
2.) Thank you for saying so. I do appreciate that. If you are a vet, I in turn thank you. P.S. My opinion is also that of yours. "All are entitled to their opinion." I was not "entitled" that when posting my opinion. My thoughts and concerns have always been directed to the victims of this story and any and all "victims" of any other injustice and inhumanity towards others. ---Semper Fi!

If I had a zombie, he would look like Marine Sniper.
Donny June 5, 2012 at 10:41 pm
John R, you know nothing about me... I do not weep for Rudy and I don't curse the Marines. You sir are obtuse. Maybe if I change my name to Donny Master Chief would that help you? Get a life John... Oh and good luck.
John Russillo June 5, 2012 at 11:08 pm
Wow, nobody gets sarcasm anymore. You do know Jack Nicholson's character was a bit of a psycho, right?
Donny June 5, 2012 at 11:24 pm
John your comment was hardly sarcasm, nice try though with the nobody gets sarcasm today comment...

"If I had a zombie, he would look like Marine Sniper." ==================================== It took you about 23 hours to come up with that! Wow, you're quick, and clever! That was hysterical! It is very apparent to me, and the others reading this forum, you have been administered a public verbal "beat-down". "Beat-down", a word I'm sure you are VERY familiar with, right? You're feeble and moronic attempt at redeeming yourself has no worth at all. You would have parted slightly better had "you just said thank you, and went on your way". Accept your beat-down, and stop swinging your purse, ok? Thank you, donnie. ---Semper Fi!
Donny June 5, 2012 at 11:39 pm
No Marine Sniper it took me a minute to come up with that... Did you get a chance to see my other posting before I got deleted? Thanks to God that you are no part of my immediate or extended family, for that I am very grateful.
Life is Good June 6, 2012 at 12:32 am
Donny: It probably isn't worth a minute of your time to respond to that barbaric idiot that calls himself "Marine Sniper". He probably never rose beyond a Private. I come from a long line of military and believe me, his type is despised.
Marine Sniper June 6, 2012 at 01:04 am
@Life is Good:
Are you trying to defend your younger, sis? She can stand up for herself, ok? You two "girls" seem to be overly affectionate with one another. Is there a hidden agenda between you two? Are there times you can not conceal the way you feel for each other? If there is, this forum is not a place to openly show an affection that may be growing between you two. If so, discreetly chose to contact one another on your own time. This forum is not to be used as a site to engage in a socially active agenda. No one is condemning the feelings you two may have for each other, but this IS NOT the atmosphere in which to do it. So please, discreetly arrange a time and place you two are comfortable with, and meet on your own time, at a predesignated place. I thank you along with the other posters on this forum. Good luck to the both of you. ..... Semper Fi! ---Semper Fi!

LIfe Is Good, you're spot on. Marine Snipers post just re-affirms my gratitude to God. God bless your family LIG.

This is no joking manner! An addiction, irregardless of what drug it is, can ruin entire families. Ruin lives. Do you know what bath salts even look like. Although bath salts are sold disguised as a harmless substance used for relaxation, people are ingesting them seeking euphoria. In addition to experiencing altered moods, many bath salt users are having psychotic episodes marked with agitation, hallucinations and violent behavior. Because this drug is unfamiliar to medical professionals, doctors are still learning how to treat symptoms and overdoses of this drug. please learn more and spread the word to anyone who may be using these products. http://www.lakeviewhealth.com/bath-salts-infographic.php
