Of course his family thinks that he was possessed or under the influence of a voodoo curse. They're probably amongst the uneducated Haitian born, most of which believes in nonsense like that.

I noticed that, too, and was also amused by it.

Well what does it sound like to you?

Last year, a man in Indiana climbed a flagpole on the side of a road and jumped into traffic. Another man in Pennsylvania broke into a monastery and stabbed a priest, and a woman in West Virginia scratched herself 'to pieces' because she thought there was something under her skin, the New York Times reported.
Nudity is common because the drug causes body temperature to rise so fast and so high people feel like they're burning up and take off their clothes, reported the Daily Beast.
The powerful stimulant can cause super strength and in many cases hospital officials or police say it takes several people to hold down a user, the Times reported. The person often won’t respond to a stun gun or taser, the paper said.

Bath salts are just speculation as of now. The toxicology reports are not in yet.

And the believers of voodoo can do some very strange things because they believe in those curses.

Everything is speculation until we have the toxicology report, but anyone who thinks this act is the result of marijuana intoxication have got to be out of their mind. When the toxicology reports come back positive for bath salts and/or PCP everyone owes me a hundred bucks.

The vast majority of native Haitians believe in voodoo curses. It's not common for people in Haiti or Haitian born Americans to cannibalize random people. So that's baloney.

No need to jump on someone's post you don't like without knowing what precipitated the post.
Another case where the family knew the killer to be crazy but he was still roaming the streets.

Andrew Stawicki, 29, of Ellensburg, told the Times he recognized a photo shown on TV newscasts of the alleged gunman as his brother Ian. Andrew Stawicki said Ian Stawicki was mentally ill.
"It's no surprise to me this happened," he told the newspaper. "We could see this coming. Nothing good is going to come with that much anger inside of you."

the zombie's mother seems to be going for the conspiracy theory angle.

Quote:
Eugene's mother, who once had a violent incident with her son that resulted in him becoming the first person tasered by North Miami police, believes he was drugged and dumped in the area where he encountered Poppo and felt threatened by him.

"I knew my son," Eugene's mother told ABC affiliate WPLG. "Rudy will never, never do something like that. Somebody killed him, and they just go and dump him."
