"A Miami police officer fatally shot a naked man chewing the face of another man Saturday afternoon on a downtown causeway off-ramp, officials said.


The Miami Herald reported that the naked man chewed off half the face of his victim, who is struggling for his life.
The violence started at 2 p.m. on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, just south of the Herald?s offices, the newspaper said.
Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down a police officer, who came upon the naked man mauling the other man, the Herald reported.
The officer, who was not identified, ordered the naked man to back away, but when the man continued the assault, the officer shot him, the Herald said. Witnesses told the Herald the wounded attacker continued to eat his victim, so the officer continued firing.
Witnesses said they heard at least a half-dozen shots, the Herald said.
The naked man was later seen lying face down on the pedestrian walkway just below the newspaper?s two-story parking garage, the Herald said.
The naked man?s victim was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center and had critical injuries, police told the Herald.
Neither man was identified."

welp, I didn't think that zombie business was real, and I'm sure there's a reasonable medical explanation for this but should be a nice discussion

Zombies, THERE HERE OH GOD. ARGH. No, it was most likely a crazy guy but of course it might of been an advance form of rabies which is being made by scientist so they can cure it if it develops on it's own. MAYBE THEY LET IT OUT.

I expect this thread to be locked soon...it's the government I tell 'ya!

From the linked Miami Herald article:

The attacker continued to eat the man, despite being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing.

O.O

That's a pretty cool story

I hope they make sure the victim is well secured at the hospital he was sent to...wouldn't want him turning and then infecting all of Florida!

So... It has started...

Anyone remember that Cracked article that pointed out the fungus that forced ants into a climate for suitable to the fungus grow in, and then killed the ant? Then they made the comparison to old people moving to Florida. I guess they called it.

well, that's interesting

A friend of mine posted this on the HvZ Facebook group for my school. I guess the training I went through in playing that game might finally come in handy XD

The best part? I live in Florida, just far enough away from Miami that we'd know if it was real before the infection got to my area, meaning I'd have a good chance to survive the initial wave.

Eh, Australian here, you've seen our animals. I think we can deal with zombies.

 

[David Bjur]

Hmm, I sure hope the virus won't be airbourne, because if it is, then we're fucked.
[small]if it is an actual disease...[/small]

Zombies? Lets hope the US police are quick to respond with excessive force then.

John Titor, the time traveller, teaches us that in the event of the global collapse of society one should head to a place that a very determined but unprepared person cannot reach within 5 days. I live in the UK so I'm fucked and will be murdered or otherwise rendered dead when the world turns into a might makes right riot zone but you, my American friends, have a chance!

All you need to do is go camping for the rest of your life. Personally I'm going to run into an infected women's only gym to be eaten alive by post menopausal zombies and screaming "I thought they'd be hawt! NOoooo...*"

So it begins. I need to get a shotgun.

 

[Toby Kitching]

Somebody who knows anything about medicine/psychology please come up with a legitimate explanation for this? Otherwise I'm going to assume that the end is nigh and move to the shetlands

Y'all are welcome up here in New York to ride out the Apocolypse we've got food some what clean water and are close enough to the ocean incase we need to hightale it to England since I've got a place to hide there too in case this thing goes international.

 

[Muspelheim]

You will die like the rest of us, you Forever Alone guys who have no doubt been looking forward to this. You know who you are. >:3

I like ruining dreams... Hmm, who's at the door..? No! No, wait! I'm not ready for hell! I've got nothing to wear!

This is the part of the story that is freaky when it comes to the "zombie" scenario. Maybe a dude who was hyped up on PCP or some other drug. I don't know, I'm not a doctor. If it was zombies though, well... I'm just glad I don't live in Miami.
