Suspect found biting man's face off at chaotic Florida murder scene
CBS News/ August 16, 2016, 7:24 AM
MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. -- Sheriff's deputies were called to Kokomo Lane in Martin County, Florida, on Monday evening because a neighbor told 911 he'd been stabbed trying to break up a fight.
CBS Tampa affiliate WPEC reports that when the first deputy arrived, the sheriff said she had found a man on top of another one in a driveway, biting his face.
The sheriff said the suspect was removing the victim's flesh with his teeth. Eventually, multiple deputies and a K-9 pounced, trying to remove the suspect from the prone man on the ground. They used a stun gun, but only after use of great force from every law enforcement officer available could they remove him.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. His wife was found dead as well inside the garage of their home.

Didn't this happen around 10 years ago - also in Florida - with that "bath salts" guy?
Shows you what hot, humid temperatures plus Republican government leads to!

Had forgotten about that.
Jeez.

(290 posts)In fact, he's still alive today and, after multiple surgeries and long-term rehabilitation, is capable of dressing, feeding, showering, and shaving without assistance, though he still resides at the medical facility. The attack left him completely blind, though. Poor guy was already homeless and then had this happen to him...

(160,545 posts)That poor man has been through a nightmare worse than anything anyone is likely to ever have.
I hope there are people who will be looking after him, so he is not even more lost in a very brutal world.
Thanks for adding the missing story. I think a lot of people assumed he was dead.
Sand Rat Expat
(290 posts)He's remarkably self-sufficient given his circumstances, but it's all to the good that he's in a place where he can be properly cared for when the need arises. Apparently he's learned to play guitar since the attack.
And not surprising that a lot of people assumed he was dead after the severity of the attack. It's miraculous that he survived 18 minutes during the attack, and even more so that he's recovered as much as he has. Shows a hell of a lot of strength of character, IMO. I think most people, myself included, would give up.

(57,505 posts)how is it administered? Is it a liquid that is poured on oregano and smoked, or is it a powder, or...?
No, I am not asking for a friend. I simply have no familiarity with bath salts, other than a general feeling that a) they aren't for baths, and b) what they are for, I don't need.
Thanks.
