I knew it was just a matter of time! Apparently, another incident of zombie-like behavior has just made the daily news. And this time around, the perpetrator, and victim, come to us from Shanghai, China. According to various sources, the attack took place on Tuesday June 26th, during the early afternoon. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your point of view), Bath Salts did not appear to be involved this time. Just alcohol and a good old fashion case of the crazies!
According to the Shanghai Daily, the incident took place after a bus driver, identified as “Dong”, ran into a road near a bus station at around 2 p.m. He then proceeded to jump in front of a woman’s (identified as “Du”) car, jumped on the hood, and began pounding on her windshield, prompting her to exit the vehicle. Once in the street, Dong jumped on her and began gnawing on her face. Several patrons tried to intervene, but the crazed Dong managed to overpower them.
In the end, it took several police officers to pull Dong off the woman and put him in cuffs. I sincerely hope a taser was involved, crazy freak! The woman was then rushed to hospital for the injuries sustained to her nose, which will apparently need plastic surgery. Details released by the police officers indicated that Mr. Dong was heavily intoxicated during the time of the attack. Yes, it seems s0me lunch time heavy drinking was the impetus for this latest in a string of summer-time zombie-ism. Not sure how to react to that…
So what do you think? Indication of the impending apocalypse, or just a sicko who drank his lunch?

Personally, i just hope it was a bad reaction to the alcohol. Still, if I hear any more cases of real-life zombie-ism, I’m buying a machine gun.
I think that Captain Crazy Bath Salts from Florida started a new craze. Now any kind of strange behavior that can be considered Zombie-esque is blown out of proportion. All of the people who have had attacks like this are all under the influence of drug and alcohol. I think its another case of substance abuse and media. But, I hate zombies. So, maybe I’ve got a biased opinion. 🙂
This happened quite a few weeks ago…
I know, I wrote it weeks ago. Check the date at the top there.
Its hard to decide what is causing the strange behavior in people across the world. Its hard to just dismiss this as a case of drug or alcohol abuse as well. Rudy Eugene, the man who started it all, was NOT on the influence of bath salts, only marijuana was found in his system, and marijuana does not give you the munchies to eat 80% of a mans face. I would also like to point out that was the first time I have ever heard of the drug “bath salts”
A virus is completely plausible, and it doesn’t necessarily have to make you into a flesh thriving “zombie” but deranged and violent is completely possible. Recently there has been more outbreaks in humans hosting the rabies virus, which kinda makes you act like a zombie? Also several cases across the world are finding people contracting the “flesh eating disease” co-inky-dink? you decide
Actually, it would be pure speculation to assume that this is the result of a virus, and it would be playing into the theory that this is anything more than a case of media effect, where disparate events are assumed to be connected when in fact they are not. People have been acting crazy while under the influence for centuries, its just that now it happens to be at a time when interest in zombies is at an all time high. Also Eugene was more than just high, he had a cocktail of pills in his stomach after they autopsied him. So really, it seems like a case of drug-induced psychosis more than anything.
yes by speculation i guess, but by no means is the media portraying this to be a virus. I speculate from previous history, where plagues and virus’ swept across countries killing millions of people. The media put a brand on this, just as any money maker would do, and that brand is “zombies” , but could the thought of a virus attacking the brain cells to cause its host to act in a rabid manor, attacking (not just eating “human” flesh) and becoming a irate being that is otherwise uncontrollable really that far fetched?
Rudy Eugene had 2 undissolved pills in his stomach, meaning they hadn’t been in there long enough to cause a reaction. His toxicology report was done, then RE done, because there was an absence of bath salts, synthetic marijuana and LSD had experts still could not find anything. So nothing has really been answered in that case.
I agree, some of the cases that are presented, have nothing to do with one another..but following this from the beginning; there are similar cases that have no explanations. I do not feel in any way that there will be a Zombie Apocalypse, but I keep an open mind when it comes to an epidemic virus being possible…because it very, very much is.
My position has been to treat all such speculation about this being a virus or zombie outbreak as being something of a joke, so I really don’t think I’m the person to be talking to about this. Thank you for your interest, but this is really not my thing.
