http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/27/12444188-marijuana-found-in-face-chewers-body-but-no-other-drugs-medical-examiner-says?fb_ref=.T-uhshXcgTg.like&fb_source=home_multiline

The Miami-Dade Medical Examiner found only marijuana in the body of the man who was fatally shot while chewing a homeless man's face over Memorial Day weekend.

The medical examiner's office said on Wednesday that 31-year-old Rudy Eugene's toxicology was complete.

"The department's toxicology laboratory has identified the active components of marijuana," the medical examiner said in a statement. "The laboratory has tested for but not detected any other street drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs, or any adulterants found in street drugs."

The department also ruled out common drugs found in the street drugs called bath salts, which authorities had initially speculated were the cause of the brutal attack on Ronald Poppo.

He has been recovering at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center since the May 26 attack along the MacArthur Causeway.
Poppo was rushed to the hospital after he was attacked by Eugene, who tore off and chewed most of the 65-year-old's face, authorities said. He also suffered trauma to his brain, doctors said.

Poppo also had a couple puncture wounds in his left chest area.

About 50 percent of his face, including his forehead and cheek, was affected and he has an infection, brain injury and a puncture wound to his chest.

Eugene was fatally shot by an officer after he refused to stop the savage attack on Poppo, police said. Witnesses said a naked Eugene was throwing his clothes into traffic and swinging from a light pole shortly before the attack.

The medical examiner's department also got assistance from an outside forensic toxicology lab, which confirmed that there were no bath salts, synthetic marijuana or LSD in Eugene's system.

"Within the limits of current technology by both laboratories, marijuana is the only drug identified in the body of Mr. Rudy Eugene," the statement said.

The attack sparked a statewide crackdown on synthetic drugs and bath salts, with many South Florida counties and cities moving forward with ordinances to ban and restrict their sale.

Also on Tuesday, Gov. Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi held a ceremonial signing of House Bill 1175, which outlaws more than 90 new forms of synthetic drugs.

That just means they don't have a test for it.

You're going to have to elaborate, Google is only giving me that the Chicago Sky beat the San Antonio Silver Stars on the 30th. Also, that Big Freedia played the Korova.

Same here.

try putting zombie in your search

**sirlynchmob**

this should find it:

Spoiler:

but thats probably more than you'd want to know anyways.

**Corpsesarefun**

While that is a worse crime it's not even vaguely zombie like, ergo the internet doesn't care.

**azazel the cat**

Personally, I find all the zombie jokes getting old and tired in regards to the face-eating guy in Miami, and I'm a little saddened that everyone has immediately resumed the zombie jokes in lieu of drug explanations.

Mental illness can be like a living Hell, perticularly for untreated schizophrenics like I'm sure the guy in Miami will have turned out to have been if anyone bothers to look into his history.

Not a Zombie. Obviously Eugene just had the munchies, and that guy's face was the only snack around.

Sounds like a great excuse.

Frazzie: "Hey'all hun, I'm just going out for the essentials. Milk, bread and 9mm."

Mrs Frazzie: "9mm, Frazzie hunny, did' you buy some of that last week."

Frazzie: "Yep, but its them zombie season."

Mrs Frazzie: "Awl, right then you scoot off and hurry back now, get some more bucks for the 12 guage too while your at it."

Think we are missing a key point here..

I could be wrong, but I don't recall "resistance to bullets" being a symptom of schizophrenia. Remember, he took a round to the chest, growled at the cops and then went back to eating the dude's face. I'm not saying it's not possible, just that I'd agree with Frazz's "They don't have a test for it" hypothesis.

For the record, I'm glad for the couple hundred rounds of 45, and my 12 gauge shells...

ANY time Im looking/shopping for firearms/bullets, the wife is like right on ym ass going "OoooOOOOOOooOOO!!! I want that one!" and "AAaaahhhhhh does it come in black?"

Im going to be a broke man the rest of my life

**Frazzled**

Thats why .22s are the best. Inexpesnive guns and inexpensive ammo.

i did buy 5 more boxes of 00 last weekend. Somewhat worried about post election shenanigans in the future.

My wife's the same way. We don't even own any guns currently(had to sell mine when we got married because they weren't allowed on base housing and I'll be damned if I have to drive and sign out my own damn gun, plus the money was useful since we, y'know, just got married) and she's more excited to shop for them than I am! She's never owned one, but she knows what she wants: the pink Lady Smith & Wesson 642 .38 special.

**IronWarLeg**

Nice, my wife wants that same pistol, not to de-rail the thread too much, but this was my fathers day gift from my wife:

Its chambered in .22 with 30 round mags that take 10 seconds to shoot, 10 min to load, but if the zombies are coming I can put a roundn through a zombie forehead at 100 yards easy

And I can take it out and put 1000 rounds downward range for 25$, then spend 3 hours cleaning it lol.

Whoops, well until I get it hosted on another site when I am not at work, its a Colt M4 Carbine

**Bromsy**

Guys, I know it's tempting to fort up or run for the hills. We can't do it, we need to hang on as long as we can, defend society - gotta keep the roads open and contain the threat.

At least until Sedition Wars ships.
