According to his Girlfriend, Miami Zombie Rudy Eugene was drugged or was under a voodoo spell.

During their time together, she said, Eugene would sit on the bed or on the couch in the evenings with her to read from his Bible. He carried it with him just about everywhere he went, she said, and often cited verses to friends and family.

“If someone was lost or didn’t know God, he would tell them about him,’’ she said. “He was a believer of God.”

And he also gave CPR to puppies and tossed old ladies safely across the street.

I understand the desire of not being the girlfriend of the Miami Zombie, but manufacturing BS never helps, specially when the subject’s history for drug and violence is getting out ever so slowly.

But as predicted, there are those who are already trying to cash in by manufacturing righteous indignation over this case. Village Voice moron writer James King asks Did The Cops Really Need To Shoot This Guy? ’cause, you know, he was unarmed. I am guessing that he expected the police officer to roll up a copy of the Miami Herald and whacking Eugene in the snout would have been enough to stop his “bad doggy” behavior.

I am starting a countdown to see when George Zimmerman gets blamed for this killing. You know it is coming.

At least he didn’t go for the Ludwig Drum Set with Paiste cymbals on sale.

If you have no life whatsoever on a Friday night and a decent internet connection, you may want to listen to the slowly-becoming-infamous Squirrel Report.

After 10 shows, I am still trying to figure out what’s about it but without success. It has gun chat in it, but there is no proper theme or rhyme or reason. The hosts of the show swear it is on purpose but more likely it is just what happens when four mental procrastinators get together to talk under the influence of alcohol and a Librarian.

The hosts of the show are:

Breda:

Alan:

Weer:

and Jay:

So tune in this Friday – 8:00 Central. And in case you haven’t figured it yet, it will be adult conversation…..(wait…hahahahaha…adult? I kill myself) scratch that. There will be explicit conversation on both the show and the available chat room…and you can call in!

UPDATE: Today’s Squirrel Report will be about Face Eating Zombies.

I am sure that many a gun owner that Carries Concealed (or Open) has taken the time to analyze and come up with a strategy dealing with a situation like the one with the Miami Zombie. To say that we will face a case just-like-that would be pushing it but, what if we face somebody who is so whacked out in drugs that he will simply not feel pain, will not behave rational and has no problem having you for lunch? Shots to the pelvic area to stop an advancing critter like that are first option or shots to the brain housing assembly to disrupt the main control system. As nasty as the story is, it is now in our filing system under “This kind of thing happens, don’t freak out, respond appropriately.”

Next I went to the next mental inquiry: What would I do if I am not the intended victim, none of my loved ones are the intended victim and I am a passerby? How would I tackle the situation? This is a well defined case as no normal & innocent people go eating other people’s faces. There is a well defined bad guy in need of stopping as any reasonable person would agree.

Or would they?

An image popped into my mind: Rev. Al Sharpton on TV demanding justice for the poor face-eating bastard. Four months ago, the thought of letting somebody have his face become part of somebody’s diet would not even cross my mind. But after the Martin/Zimmerman media boondoggle and saying to myself “Of course I would intervene!” my brain had a Full Stop/Back The Truck Up moment. Do I want to risk peace of mind, loss of freedom, hard earned monies, Family disrupted and see life as I knew it disappear on the chance some Media Hungry jackass passing himself as a Civil Rights Defender feels that demonizing me is good for his business?

…..

As much as my morals say “Yes asshole, if you see a case so clear in front of you, it is your moral imperative to act and defend a life in jeopardy.” But at the same time I have a family that depends on me and an very elderly mother that might die if subjected to a Martin/Zimmerman media frenzy and that would be on my head too.

I can’t come up with an answer yet. Maybe I’ll never will.

And you may want to give this idea a very deep thought.

Cage fighter ‘ripped out heart of training partner’ – Telegraph.

A US cage fighter ripped out the heart of his training partner while he was still alive after becoming convinced he was possessed by the devil.
Jarrod Wyatt also cut out his friend’s tongue and ripped off most of his face in a brutal assault that police said looked like a scene from a horror film.

They found the 26 year old standing naked over his friend’s body with body parts, including an eyeball, strewn around the blood splattered room.

OK people, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? I hope this is a case of Californians not wanting to be out-weirded by Floridians and not a national trend. Just in case, I am keeping my magazines fully loaded and the guns handy.

I know it is old, but it is still funny after all this time.

Hackensack man stabs self, accused of throwing intestines at police.

Carter was in the corner of the room with a knife in his hand, and he stood up, he yelled at police while stabbing himself all over his body. Officers noticed that his intestines were protruding from a wound in his abdomen, Heinemann said. Carter allegedly threw some of his skin and intestines at officers as they tried to enter the room, Heinemann said.

The officers ordered him to drop the 12-inch kitchen knife, but he didn’t. Carter is accused of swinging the knife at officers, police said. The officers sprayed two cans of pepper spray at the man without any effect.

I have thought back and forth about adding a can of pepper spray to daily carry load. The more I read about it, it does not make a whole lot of sense to do so as a civilian. My first priority if I see some raving lunatic doing something raving is to tuck tail and leave the area. I am not a cop who has the duty to save the maniac’s life (and God Bless them for doing that thankless job) nor I have the inclination of helping somebody who is not open to suggestions.

Somebody the other day mentioned dog attacks, but I am not particularly worried about those. One dog I can handle as I have done it in the past and more than that is enough to use deadly force if I can’t avoid the issue. The use of pepper spray on an unarmed person can be construed as assault by an eager prosecutor and I don’t feel like testing the law and my depleted bank account proving him/her wrong.

One thing I have used with effectiveness at night is a good tactical light. Being blinded damps the initiative on most situations and allows you to either run away or call for reinforcements. My particular record was three “Urban Hoboes”  (homeless) who were not happy when I told them that the location where I worked was a public place for them to spend the night. They got quite pissy and tried to surround me but accurate doses of a Surefire 6P (Original flavor, 60 lumens) to their eyes left them blinded enough for me to “tactically withdraw” and call for back up. When the cops arrived, they were still complaining of seeing spots but could not show injury since none was given.

I still own the same surefire but now upgraded to 200 lumens with a Cree LED upgrade.And Lord! It shines bright and pretty!
