Mystery solved by GFY detectives. White dude in Oakland Park that went crazy the other week on bath salts (per his girlfriend) must have been at a Haitian voodoo ceremony, too. I tell ya I can't move about town without coming across one.

crazy shit.

Eh, that was pretty nasty. I wonder if at that point you'd actually be in pain, or you'd just feel nothing because of the shock. I bet the surgeons would be horrified too... I bet they wouldn't even know where to begin with a situation like that.

You never know. The Haitian population in Miami is booming and the Haitian drug dealers there have become more powerful since the major Bahamian dealers from The Bahamas were extradited to US jails (Read: the territory is now up for grabs).

This most recent attack could be the result of a new chemical mix that is more potent and is based on some of the chemicals they use in voodoo ceremonies.

Went to Port au Prince, Haiti a short while ago. That place is fucked up to say the least.

I thought the Serpent and the Rainbow was "just a movie", but that shit has a real scientific basis. They drug a voodoo victim with a cocktail of datura stramonium and other chemicals, bury them alive, dig them up a short while later and then go through the streets whipping the person.

Pretty much the person loses independent rational thought and the psychotic break is permanent. They'll never be the same again.

This might not be the case in this scenario, but it only makes sense that someone could likely make a blend of street drugs and voodoo compounds that give a greater, long lasting high.

Tampa Times is reporting an interview with Haitian guys girlfriend. She believes he was drugged by some people in the Haitian scene.

For those who have not read it, The Serpent and the Rainbow is an excellent read by Harvard ethno-botanist, Wade Davis. The chemicals are used for power and control. There is an interesting and disturbing chapter about African slavery, pre-slavery days and the revolt led by the Maroons... In Africa, before slavery to europe and americas, african kings used to thin out the herd by grinding glass into the wine at festivals...pretty unpleasant death as your insides are sliced up as you digest ...

My guess is the old guy pissed someone off or the face-eater pissed someone off. The two were put on a collision course.

I used to live in Marrakech, Morocco. Datura leaves are still used to dose people...and if you piss me off and I catch you in the maghreb you bet I can blind you and make you go crazy with some pretty little poppies...lol

Science, not science fiction.

I was living in a small town up in the Atlas Mountains. Met some musicians, joined the family. One day I saw this crazy guy in the street. I was with his wife and daughters. Wife had tears, daughters looked away. About 10 years prior he had pissed somebody off, probably carousing, he was a famous local musician...at a wedding someone dosed his wine with datura, guy went nuts. Became a street person...Every once in a while he would snap out of it for a couple days, be lucid as hell, then back to scrambled eggs...Read the Serpent book, you will learn some serious shit. Good movie too...almost stuck to the truth...but great movie, intense book.

IN Haiti they mix chemicals from the blowfish, and a particular frog. They piss off the frog then kill it. Venom is elevated...seeps through the skin...Then people use the resulting mixture in doorways, (note to self: always wear shoes in Haiti) or blow it into your face as you walk by...thats for approved hits...unapproved will find the same done to you...they have voudoun councils and courts for this shit.
No wonder Haiti has issues...

google 1 lunatic 1 icepick instead.

since maggots only eat dead flesh, it is probably helping the guy more than hurting him, but it does sound like a party indeed :2 cents:

and do NOT watch the Mexican Chainsaw video... I regret I watched that particular one... crazy sons of bitches...

Note to myself: do NOT visit Haiti

Seen much worse
