The zombie didn't stop eating it's first victim to go after the police man who hailed him, and didn't even stop eating when attacked and shot. If subsequent zombies follow this same pattern, they pose a virtually insignificant threat.

Not necessarily. Consider that with the level of intelligence normally attributed to a zombie, a police officer with a firearm likely wouldn't be discernable as anything more than another meal. They'd probably be unable to link the firearm with the pain sensation from being shot, if they could discern the pain at all.

Therefore, from the zombie's perspective, it has two targets, both good prospective meals, one is closer than the other. If it detects pain at all, it probably associates it with the closest of the two targets, rather than the firearm-wielding one farther away.

Since the zombie doesn't have the intelligence to have a concept of death, it would most likely focus on eating over self-preservation, especially when confronted with a potential hazard that it can't recognise, like a firearm.

Now, if the zombie didn't already have a meal item, it probably would have attacked the officer. So we reduce everything to the age-old saying "I don't have to outrun the zombie, I just have to outrun the slowest survivor".

A friend of mine suggested PCP as the cause, which seems likely considering the history of that drug, but still...

This reminds me of the Greyhound decapitation/cannibalism guy. I believe it wasn't a drug thing but a mental health thing.

@empath: Alright, I skimmed, but MOST of them didn't mention it.

Because it means absolutely nothing to anyone outside of America! It's like me telling you "Oh that zombie was DEFINITELY from Kirkcaldy! You could tell by his limp!"

Well, considering that LRR even knows how messed up Florida can be, I figured it beared mentioning. It's not entirely US centric.

Dude would have either been on PCP or meth.

Also why the hell would you get on a plane? Keep your Z disease to your own damn continent.

Boats it is, then. Coming soon to a port near you!

Keep your diseased seamen out of my waterways.

The doctor... You have a hole in your mind

Good to know the youth of today are taking STDs seriously. /younger than anyone in this thread

I don't think I'll be mentioning this at the mental hospital tomorrow, don't wanna give people any tips 0_o

Also did we consider that the cop is just a REALLY bad shot?

Lord_Hosk - Nothing's the same anymore.

Your not wrong, though I'm not sure if should blame the zombie chewin' on my noggin' or this core lit assignment.

Edit: It's not just me either. It's just coincidence that I'm leaving the country now...

P.S. his book looks surprisingly good

Well, if I have to take down some zombies... I'm screwed. >_>

If the zombie apocalypse actually starts, I'd probably not fight. I'd be too damn lazy and heavily pessimistic.

"The government of Madagascar shuts down its shipyards to prevent infection."

The victim of the vicious flesh-eating attacker on the MacArthur Causeway on Saturday has been identified as 65-year-old Ronald Poppo, The Miami Herald has learned.

Poppo remains in critical condition at Ryder Trauma Center with horrific facial injuries.

His attacker, killed by Miami police at the crime scene, has also been identified as Rudy Eugene, who as a teenager in the late 1990s played high school football at North Miami Beach High.

And then a picture of the man's face afterwards. Which is too gruesome to post here.

Hate to rile you guys up even more, but...

Then again, most of these took place in Florida. This is kind of par for the course when it comes to Florida.

Florida: the Hellhole State!

"Bath Salts"

WTF?

Its because they aren't bath salts at all. Just marketed under that name to keep the DEA off their case. It'd be like marketing marijuana as a textile.

Oh wait.

No, I get that. It's just a weird name. It sounds like a nick-name that a guidance counselor made up to prove that he's "hip to the scene."

I keep hearing Graham's voice speaking the words "bath salts" as a censor in that article over anything potentially objectionable, like >BATH SALTS<, or >BATH SALTS<.

...I don't know if that's good or bad.

<BATH SALTS> not doing it for you? Try <COLA>.
