Zombie Attacks on the Rise in Florida, 4 Cases so far This Year

[check_status]

Miami police are still tight-lipped about the man they shot and killed on the MacArthur Causeway Saturday afternoon, but new details back claims they had no choice: the naked man they shot was trying to chew the face off another naked man, and refused to obey police orders to stop his grisly meal, which one source now claims included his victim’s nose and eyeballs.

Surveillance video taken from security cameras at the nearby Miami Herald building show a police officer arrive on the scene, appear to be startled by the spectacle of two naked men lying on the street, and draw his service weapon. It appears that the officer shot one of the men, but it was difficult to tell in the video.

The bizarre shooting happened shortly after 2 p.m., when police responded to a 911 call about two naked men fighting on a bike path along the Causeway, which was packed with traffic on a busy holiday weekend.

Aguilar, who heads the local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, said he has spoken with the officer who responded. Aguilar said the officer saw what the man was doing, and ordered him to stop. He said the man growled at the officer, and then returned to his meal.

Aguilar said the man ate his victim’s nose and eyeballs.

The officer then used his service weapon and shot the man, Aguilar said, but the gunshot had no effect. Other sources confirmed that the man refused to obey, and continued his attack. Aguilar said the officer had no choice but to keep shooting until the attacker was dead.

The head of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, Armando Aguilar, said drugs are at the root of the attack.

In the cases Aguilar mentioned, he said the people have all taken their clothing off, been extremely violent with what seemed to be super-human strength, even using their jaws as weapons.

How many threads are we going to have on zombies and their coincidental manifesting themselves since the physical release of Bitcoin Magazine? (keyword = physical)

At least we know these zombies don't have to be killed by head-shots.  Plus they don't infect their victims.

Maybe it just has a long incubation period.

There are certain things in life that basically everyone knows.  One is that Florida is the lunatic pill-head capital of the world.

If there were an adverse drug reaction capable of causing this behavior, it would without a doubt show up in Florida first.

Man, watching the video, it feels like a scripted movie.. but that's real life zombies.  I feel like stocking up on machetes all of a sudden.

Or maybe they want you to think you can kill them.  It is probably in some cage in the basement of HMS being tested and wondering how the zombie disease spreads.  I think it is a fungus.

"Emergency room Doctor Paul Adams agreed with Aguilar saying similar cases have showed up in the ER.

'We noticed an increase, probably after Ultra Fest,' Dr. Adams said."

...

"Do you know where your teenager is at 5 o'clock in the morning?
The Ultra Fest?
The music festival attracts thousands of Miami-area young people.
Some say they come looking for drugs, dirty dancing, and pounding techno music.

...

It's 10pm. Do you know where your children are?
Well things have changed.
Today the question for parents is, 'it's 5am, do you know where your children are?
The MacArthur Causeway?
Some say they come looking for brains, flock-like movement, and Michael Jackson's 'Thriller''"
