Two dead after cannibal attack

Sounds very similar to the incident in the US in 2012, whereby a man was shot and killed by Police when they came across him eating a tramps face (in that case they used firearms to stop him).

The story can be found at

Its called 'Bath Salts' because it looks like the stuff you put in a bath, very crystalline.

Obviously not a lot of information is forthcoming on the male at the moment, but if he was on that stuff or something similar, then it is likely he was in a state of 'excited delirium' - body goes into massive overdrive, taxing the heart and respiratory system. It is more than likely that that is the cause of death rather than the Taser application.

Will be interesting to see the results.

Who ever claimed it was?

Anyone who believes rehabilitation should be the priority in prisons will readily tell you that currently it is nothing of the sort. Prison is, mostly, treated as punishment - so let's not be surprised when people who graduate from that system are not actually improved.

BTW, interesting outcome of our non-lethal suppression tool.

Well I would have thought that the prison system would say that this individual was rehabilitated after granting him release at half his sentence term? :confused:

I am in no way saying that prisons are/shouldn't be there to punish the criminal element of this world but there are people in this world that seem to think that prisons are there to rehabilitate people rather than punish as punishment is negative thing.

And as stated before its a "Less Lethal" Suppression tool that is not doled out willy nilly officers have to have training for use. Would you rather that the police didn't have a way to subdue a frenzied attack based on the attacker "may" have taken something that would make a less lethal option lethal?

I don't know that we ever hear claim that a prisoner has been rehabilitated, do we? We tend to hear that prisoners being released have "served their time". The term is interesting because it insinuates they are "giving" (serving) something to atone for the wrong they committed - rather than being the case that they have experienced rehabilitation. Early release is predicated on good (or not-bad) behaviour, nothing to do with rehabilitation.

Personally, I believe that prisons should be rehabilitating people as a priority, and that should be their main purpose, and how prison time is seen - as a genuine corrective and improvement scheme. And though I believe that should be the case, I certainly don't believe that it is the case.

I don't know enough about tasers to make a sound judgement. I'm not convinced of the need for the police to have such a measure so readily available (over 1,500 active discharges per year), but I don't know details on how much it has improved things for police to have access to such an implement. Maybe police and public lives have been saved by tasers, to make up for the deaths and injuries they have caused? I don't know.

I thought it was later ruled that he was not under the influence of "bath salts" (or anything for that matter accept maybe alcohol from what I remember) and was just in fact crazy?

And let that be a lesson, this is why you shouldn't go home with a random person who you've just met and know nothing about!
They might get a bit om nommy.
