Actually, he was arrested something like 8 times before the face eating incident. And (surprise!) was a clinically diagnosed schizophrenic at one point (not sure if in the article)
Also remember the media likes to earn money from sensationalising stories. A face eating naked man isn't enough after a while.... you gotta get expert opinions for such highly qualified sources are police officers about what new highly dangerous and experimental drug caused all this.
anti narcotic bodies get funding to create these sorts of headlines and take any oportunity they can to create fear. The media only exists to generate money and gladly takes the money from the anti narcotic bodies who get the money from the government who get the money from us.
I belive drugs can be very bad, but I also belive a guy who has been clinically diagnosed schizophrenic isn't going to sell newpapers and get web sites clicks for very long. But if it looks like he smokes weed, takes lsd, plays violent vides games and listens to metal you've got a headline
