Another Canibal Moment

I am back.  I know it has been over two months since my last post.  I have been busy, what can I say?  Besides, this is just how things have gone for the past 3 or so years.  My postings are infrequent, though I do try, I just do not seem to have the time to post or I have not found much worth talking about here.

Anyway, please click this link and read the article.

Here we have a naked guy shot and killed by police as he gorges on the face of some other dude.  They are calling the shooting officer as hero as he did save the victim's life.  I can live with that.  It is some of the other parts of the story that have me wondering.

First off, the naked guy is presumed to have gotten naked from "cocaine psychosis".  Apparently, he had a Nik Kershaw moment ("Wouldn't it be good" from 1983, the line.."the heat is stifling, burning me up from the inside...").  So he was burning up and figured by getting naked he would cool down.  Okay, that seems logical.  Of course, I never knew that cocaine use leads to the feeling of burning up from the inside (maybe that is why Mr. Kershaw was in such despair...cocaine psychosis).  Okay, so now the naked part is explained.

They were saying that the victim was a homeless guy lying on the ground and the naked dude just pounced.  Okay, this is where I have my issue.  I have no issue with the nakedness per se (since I was not there to witness it, my eyes are clean).  I do not know about you, but I got to figure that if you are living on the street, cleanliness, personal hygiene and such are not priorities.  One of the last things I would consider eating is anything that belonged to the filthy (okay I am adding that) homeless dude.  I would not want to touch him, clothing or flesh, let alone put any of his body parts into my mouth.  That is just plain dirty and nasty (and not in a good way--there is good dirty/nasty--this is not it.  In fact, this is pretty damn far from it).

So, if I have it straight, cocaine use leads to cocaine psychosis.  This leads to getting naked (always thought that good alcohol or Quaaludes were the real panty removers, but I digress..).  Which then brings on the need to eat the face of dirty, homeless men.  Given this, there is only one conclusion....cocaine leads to some very dirty things and not good dirty but dirty, filthy, disgusting dirty.  Then again, perhaps the faces of dirty, homeless men are extra tender and a delicacy in South Beach.  That may explain why LeBron took his talents to South Beach.

I am done.  Ciao!
