Just when I thought the US couldn't get any crazier!!

You couldn't have written this in a very bad Holywood movie

I mean we all hear these weird stories from time to time, but even the Miami Police have been shoced by this. Feel really sorry for the victim, but what on earth was the perpretator doing on the streets, surely he should have been in a secure place?

[jackthehat]

I was going to say that he was 'off his face' on an LSD-type drug........but thought better of it.

[rowanwitch]

It seems they kept ordering hi to stop but he kept on gnawing....
If I were the victim I'd probably prefer they acted a little more directly

[tonyav]

lol ^^^.

[sunny-dave]

Can we keep this thread away from the one entitled "non surgical face lift" please ... :+)

[whiskeryron]

Welcome back JTH have you been on holiday ?

[Nibble]

^^lol, sorry dave, I only noticed the other thread after i hit the submit button ;)

[jackthehat]

No such luck, WR.

Fortunately, I have been quite busy work-wise......and enjoying the nice weather. :o)

the USA isn't the only country with crazies on the street.

The perpetrator was, apparently under the influence of a relatively new "designer drug" called bath salts that is amphetamine like in its influence. It can be smoked, taken intravenously,snorted or swallowed. It causes (obviously) severe hallucintaions especially affecting reality, time and space.

Seems the Miami area is rife with manufacturers of such and, of course, there's always someone willing to experiment...

[ludwig]

Clanad - I've snorted Radox before. It's good sh1t.

[Clanad]

Were you unusually hungry during the snort, ludwig?

[ludwig]

No, but my nostrils were clean afterwards.

[tonyav]

That's a new one on me Clanad, what is this stuff 'bath salts ' derived from ?.

[Clanad]

Sources don't detail that, tony... just described as "designer" which, I suppose, means what ever is thrown into the pot...

[Nibble]

Seem to be a concoction of this..Bath salts are also known as "Ivory Wave," "Purple Wave," Vanilla Sky," and "Bliss." It's a street drug made with mephedrone, MDPV, and methylone -- not at all the same as the epsom salts that are commonly used as a bath product in many homes. However, because they're not marketed for human consumption, they are not illegal. The high associated with the drug includes hallucinations and feelings of paranoia, in addition to suicidal thoughts.


"It's confusing. Is this what we put in our bathtubs, like Epsom salts? No. But by marketing them as bath salts and labeling them 'not for human consumption,' they have been able to avoid them being specifically enumerated as illegal," a doctor tells WebMD.

[tonyav]

Sounds like very bad stuff to me.

[sp1814]

I honestly don't understand the appeal of any drug that messes with your mind to that extent. I mean, who wants hallucinations (especially people like me who can barely spell the word).

Give me ten bottles of alcopop and a kebab instead.

Bliss.

[emmie]

i wished i hadn't read that, just awful

[keyplus90]

Don't worry they will blame Al Qaeeda. The End.

[RATTER15]

I blame Al Qaeeda!!!
