Bath salts are sold over the counter with disclaimers on them that they are not to be "consumed". "legal" synthetic drugs and when sold in head shops you know exactly what they will be used for.
Right, this is truly sloppy reporting. I smell a coverup. It shouldn't take them long to figure out what drugs are in the system of the dead zombie, plus what are we hearing from the man in the hospital? We need some real investigative journalism for a change to give us the facts.
Wow. Those of you suspecting some sort of sinister plot as to the attackers mental state has obviously never been to a Grateful Dead concert or seen Gary Busey lately.
"Ivory Wave," "Purple Wave," Vanilla Sky," and "Bliss" -- all are among the many street names of a so-called designer drug known as “bath salts,” which has sparked thousands of calls to poison centers across the U.S. over the last year.
First of all, what are bath salts?
"The presumption is that most bath salts are MDPV, or methylenedioxypyrovalerone, although newer pyrovalerone derivatives are being made by illegal street chemists. Nobody really knows, because there is no way to test for these substances," Horowitz says.

Aren't you jumping to conclusions just a tad too quick ?
Calling for more DEA agents ? For what .. no news has been released on whether or not he was on drugs.
Only on C-D can a story about a drug crazed "cannibal" devolve into a Religious scripture war and Police cover up of an accidental shooting of a homosexual couple.

Give it another 24 hours...we still have to get abortion rights, the war on women and Bush involved

I was referencing the fact that heavy drug use including LSD can caused deranged behavior. Thus you do not need some sinister plot to drug people or to shoot gays or whatever nefarious thing that posters here are alluding to.
