Face-attacker's mother: My son 'was no zombie'
The mother of Rudy Eugene, who was shot and killed by a police officer as he chewed the face off a homeless man in Miami, says her son was "a nice kid" who could have been subdued with a Taser rather than gunfire.
"He was a good kid. He gave me a nice card on Mother's Day. Everyone says he was a zombie. He was no zombie. That was my son," the mother, who asked that her name not be revealed, told CNN affliate WFOR.
Eugene, 31, was killed by a police officer on Saturday after an 18-minute attack on a homeless man, identified by police as 65-year-old Ronald Poppo. Video of the incident shows Eugene coming across Poppo on a sidewalk along Miami's MacArthur Causeway, stripping clothes off him and eventually chewing on his face.
Police said Poppo lost 75% of his face in the attack. He was in critical condition at a Miami hospital.
Eugene's mother said police didn't need to shoot her son.
"They could have tased him," she told WFOR. "I saw what happened on TV and I started crying."
Eugene's girlfriend, who also requested anonymity from WFOR, said the attacker seen in that video was nothing like the man she lived with.
"He loved God. He always read the Bible. He would give you knowledge on the Bible. Everywhere he went his Bible went. When he left he had his Bible in his hand," the girlfriend is quoted as saying.
"That wasn't him, that was his body but it wasn't his spirit. Somebody did this to him," WFOR quotes her as saying.
Fraternal Order of Police President Armando Aguilar told CNN affiliate WPLG that he suspects Eugene was under the influence of "bath salts," a drug that contains synthetic stimulants that can "cause chest pains, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, agitation, hallucinations, extreme paranoia, and delusions," according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse.
"He was a nice, outgoing, ready-to-help-anybody kind of guy," Cassandra Metayer, a high school friend of Eugene's, told WFOR. "Someone in their right mind doesn't do that. This is not the act of a normal person. It has to be someone under the influence."
Sgt. Javier Ortiz, vice president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, said officials won't know for certain whether drugs played a role in the attack until toxicology reports are completed in a month or so. But he said police have been seeing increased incidents of drug-induced crime in the area.

Probably brought back old memories of his motherland.
I have not followed this, but my guess would be a Haitian resident of Miami on drugs.

The officer must have been using the Hornady Zombie Defense ammo. And to think I laughed and shook my head when they brought it out. I feel ashamed now.
Me too, I am guilty of snickering at a guy for buying a box for his new pistol. Figured the sales guy duped him...
I can see it now. (Hypothetical) I shot a zombie in self defense.

YEP !!!
but i'm curious, did the LEO try any other interventions first.
seems like a few well placed kicks to the head or a couple full arm swings with a baton to the base of the skull would have accomplished the same, and been much more rewarding.
maybe it's jut me........[;)]

( In the video, there is at least one person that just wizzes on by. There are a number of vehicles that slow down for a gander, but do not tarey long or intercede. [V] [:(] [:(!] )
i don't have any problem with killing the zombie.

Good way to get a leg chewed off too.

This case is one of the most bizarre I've ever heard. [V] [:(] [:(!]

Have you not lived in America for the past several years?
Your on your own brotha.
Luckily you have all our fellow GB members who declare passionately on a recurring basis about how they's 'shoot this guy' or 'kill that guy' at the drop of a hat.
I hope of our fellow GB members is present if I'm ever in need. [;)]

That is funny.
Cannibal Attacker's Girlfriend Speaks
MIAMI, FL (CNN) - A Miami woman says her boyfriend is not a crazed cannibal.. in fact, he was a loving person. Rudy Eugene was shot and killed last month by a Miami police officer who says he found Eugene eating another man's face. Yovonka Bryant says that behavior is not the man she knew.
"Rudy never drank alcohol or used drugs around me. I only ever saw him smoke a marijuana cigarette once. One thing that I loved about Rudy is how he talked about his family. He loved his mother and his grandmother very dearly. The care that he expressed to my son, the friend he became to my brother and cousins, and the man he was to me will never be forgotten. I felt safe with Rudy."
Bryant was questioned by police but is not being investigated. She says Eugene was a Christian who wanted to learn more about the Muslim faith and often read the Bible and the Koran. The victim, who was a homeless man, remains in the hospital.
So far as taking a bathsalt addict high on the stuff on I think I'd want at least three of my friends there to help or a fire arm. I read they have the strength of 6 men.
ANyone who tried to help would have gotten hurt bad.
Any up date on the victim? Face transplants are now possible. It seems like he's a prime cantidate.

I'm getting too old to tolerate certain things. This person instantly lost credibility with that two sentance contradiction. [xx(]
...maybe it's jut meYeah, it is.
What would Dirty Harry do?
When I see a naked guy in the park knawing on the face of someone else, I shoot the basterd. That's my policy.
What would Dirty Harry do?
If the person who was having his face eaten was a Liberal Democrat, Harry would have handed the Zombie some salt and pepper shakers.[:D]

looks possessed to me.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
