Road Rage

The Monday/Wednesday “face-to-face” class brought this story to my attention.  

While completely naked, Rudy Eugene of Miami attacked a homeless man and began eating his face.  According to the details noted in the NPR story (see link below) Eugene behaved like an animal. There are ties in this story to cannibalism (chapter 2- taboo), feral children (chapter 3) and more.

This story is odd at best. Some are calling Rudy Eugene the Miami Zombie. Follow up accounts suggest his fit of rage was brought on by the use of bath salts. I don’t have a specific question. This is a free for all. What do you think about this story?

Warning the link below is fairly graphic in details.
