Has the human race become demonic?
This probing question, prompted by the naked face-eating horror scene in Miami, is posed by the ace journalists at Pravda.
Since the Florida freak show, other disturbing events have occurred, including a Maryland student eating his roommate’s heart and brain, a New Jersey man throwing his intestines at police and, here in Atlanta, a potential uptick in rich folks getting drunk and golfing naked.
UPDATE: Canadian porn actor sought in dismemberment.
In Maryland, Morgan State University student Alexander Kinyua, 21, admits to killing and eating his roommate after his brother found a head and hands in the family laundry room. CBS News reports the body is that of 37-year-old Kujoe Agyei-Kodie, a family friend who was living at the house. Both men attended Morgan State.
No motive has been determined, but recently Kinyua had been behaving “out of the ordinary.” He had been kicked out of ROTC and attacked a student with a bat. His parents were holding a church fundraiser to pay for an attorney to represent their son in the bat attack when the killing occurred.
In New Jersey, police were called to the home of a man seen cutting himself with a knife.
Fox News says Wayne Carter, 42, refused to drop the weapon when police arrived and began stabbing himself in the abdomen and neck. Officers retreated when Carter “began throwing pieces of skin and intestines at the officers.”
A SWAT team was called in to subdue the man, who was rushed to a hospital for surgery.
In Canada, government-paid journalists are saying a porn actor is sought in the murder of Lin Jun, a 33-year-old Chinese citizen studying in Montreal.
Police there believe suspect Luka Rocco Magnotta killed Lin, a man he had a relationship with, made a video of the act, and mailed body parts to Canadian politicians. Magnotta flew out of Montreal’s Trudeau airport and is thought to be in France.
If you’re reading this anywhere in Europe, I advise NOT hanging out with porn stars altogether until you get back to North America.
In Atlanta, my colleague reports a member of the Piedmont Drinking Driving Club elected to play the 14th hole completely nude. “I have not researched it, but I suspect this is a crime in Georgia,” wrote one club member.
Hmmmm …
Either the End Is Nigh or carrying pocket computers around has everyone a bit too tuned into sensational news.
Clearly, I support the latter.

dear old madge looks like she’s trying to pop a squat in what has to be one of the most unflattering photos of her ever (and considering the size of the pool, that’s saying something). might be time for warren beatty to take a pass at her again.

Not sure being sarcastic and cavalier about these horrific crimes is the way to go. Could be some truth to the demonic angle. Pure cold and evil in some of these crimes has no other explanation. I am going to church Sunday.

George, go read the PDC article written by your coworker –
“The club’s president says “I suspect this is a crime in Georgia.””
uh, no
that was in a letter written TO the President of the Piedmont Driving Club, by a member who is a lawyer, when reporting the acts of other members

If I start hearing a trumpet playing and see four guys riding horses then I’m drinking until I pass out.

Why do people have so much reluctance to accept the fact that evil is real and that this is a distinct possibility? If you need proof and don’t want to accept biblical teaching, then pick up a history book. There’s not really any other explanation for the multiple holocausts in human history and the horrible things the human race has done to one another.

I was just referencing to a friend yesterday how the Media is obsessed with this whole Demon/Zombie craze. We are buying into Hollywoods choice of entertainment; which is not entertaining at all.!!!!! We as a civilization have to become more diligent in what we allow to become a part of our psyche. Remember the old adage” You are what you eat”. That, too, is applicable to what we allow to be injested into our minds.”. We were given dominion over wild animals with our intelligence. Use it…!!!!!!
