We now know that it was not a zombie but a guy named Rudy Eugene. I was told last night by somebody who allegedly knew him from the same neighborhood that Mr Eugene had a problem with drugs and was known to consume Phencyclidine, known by its street names of PCP and Angel Dust.  Police is commenting that it is probable Rudy was under the influence of “Bath Salts” which produce hallucinations, extreme paranoia, and delusions.

The same somebody at work who passed the drug info on Rudy Eugene, complained loudly that the first officer on the scene “did not have to shoot him four times.” When I asked what would have been the right amount of shots required to stop a drug-crazed individual who was ripping off the flesh of a fellow human being (according to what I just heard on the news, a 60 year old homeless guy) he refused to answer. The complainer does belong to the “Fuck Da Police” school of very small thoughts, so probably one shot may have been to many unless he was the one being served as facial tartar entree to Rudy Eugene.

It took four shots to stop Eugene: one initial and then three more when he refused to cease and desist from his attack. I am actually surprised that only took four shots so probably at least one must have been placed to the brain pan. I doubt that the regular pain receptors were working properly for the perpetrator to feel the impact other bullets but whatever happened, proper congratulations do go to the officer for stopping the attack and giving the elderly homeless a chance to live.

And in case you haven’t noticed, bogey men exist, zombies do indeed exists, assorted monsters with mindless determination to kill exists. They are not sexy, they do not sparkle and there is no sexy brunette or redhead dressed in tight fitting clothing coming to rescue you with cool looking guns. There are just ugly humans that thanks to misguided chemistry become almost unstoppable in their wish to kill something and you better figure out how to either get the hell out or where to place the rounds for a total reset of their system.

Arrested for ‘gay horse’ jibe

The English student asked one officer if his horse was gay and, despite police warnings, continued to make comments about the animal’s sexuality.

He was handcuffed, taken to a nearby police station and freed the following day.

Seriously? Was the guy hurting the repressed feelings of the horse? Was the horse planning to come out of the stable and now he won’t? Will the student be mandated to take horse sensitivity training?

Naked man killed by Police near MacArthur Causeway was ‘eating’ face off victim – MiamiHerald.com.

Munchies can be a bitch, I am telling you. I do want to know what the toxicology reports says.

Wait one…

The officer, who has not been identified, approached and saw that the naked man was actually chewing the other man’s head, according to witnesses.

We’ve been told that the .45 ACP is the stop-everything round. It is basically a portable nuke that will annihilate a small town with one round.

Somebody forgot to tell this boar about it.

Pistol went into slide lock. Now imagine if it were two hogs out there.

At the end of the day, it comes to the equal combination of two things: enough gun placing shots where they count.

And carry spare mags too.

…and me being the weather vane type, I was thinking to go into higher caliber that the original poodle shooter rounds. So now I am wondering: .308 or .30 06?

I am not recoil sensitive so there is no issue there. My questions relate to two things: availability/variety/quality of the caliber and which one has the wider spectrum of usage. I might start doing some hunting this year (finally) and I want a gun in a caliber that could be used with an ample variety of game. You can pretty much forgo caribou as they are hard to find in the Everglades but if a gator gets too close being too stupid, I wanna make sure he can be persuaded fast to roll over and play dead for real A.S.A.P.
