Ronald Poppo, 65, has been identified as the victim of “Miami Zombie” Rudy Eugene, with a new video detailing the gruesomeness of the attack. Eugene, 31, was shot and killed by police after passersby saw him eating Poppo’s face in a story that has triggered talk of a zombie apocalypse . Poppo, who reports say was homeless for nearly four decades before the grisly incident, is in serious condition, having somehow survived it. Be forewarned: The video below is uncensored and graphic. Rudy Eugene Attack on Ronald Poppo The video depicts Rudy Eugene , who was naked, straddling, punching, and ripping off Poppo’s clothing in the completely unprovoked assault. Poppo, who was was sleeping on the causeway where this took place, was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and had his face eaten off. Perhaps most astonishingly, a number of people drive by, including one who slows down and CLEARLY notices at the 8:20 mark, yet do nothing. Finally, a bicyclist sees and alerts police around 16:30. Within two minutes of that, Eugene was shot dead and Poppo’s life was saved. When officers yelled at Eugene to stop and he merely ignored their cries and continued feasting, they shot him dead in a hail of bullets. Also nicknamed the Miami cannibal , Eugene’s horrific behavior is said to have been caused by psychosis resulting bath salts, either ingested or injected.

Black Workers File Charges Over Racial Discrimination At Siemens Plant This made our blood boil . We had to share it with you. Welder Solomon Daniels had just grabbed his work clothes from his locker at the Siemens plant near Trenton when, he said, he saw the noose out of the corner of his eye, swinging from the shower curtain rod. “I was more or less terrified,” said Daniels, 48, an African American man who lives in Burlington. Horrified by the noose, which evokes lynchings, Daniels looked twice to make sure, then called a coworker into the locker room to witness it. He took pictures. That was Jan. 27. On Friday, Daniels and two other African American employees at Siemens Demag Delaval Turbomachinery Inc. talked to reporters about what they called a factory floor culture of racism and harassment in which African Americans couldn’t get promoted and complaints to the human resources department went nowhere. Represented by lawyer Brian K. Wiley in North Wales, the men have filed complaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights. “When I first started there, the n-word was like your first name,” said Barry Murphy, 64, of Willingboro. Employed at Siemens since 1966, Murphy, a machinist, wept Friday, saying he came forward so younger black workers wouldn’t have to experience the discrimination he faced. He said there hasn’t been an African American supervisor since the 1980s. “The placement of a noose in a Siemens facility is a deplorable, aggressive act,” Siemens said in a statement, adding that it had hired outside investigators to look into the situation at its plant in Hamilton Township. “Siemens condemns such behavior in the strongest terms,” the statement continued. Siemens said it retrained all personnel in company policies against harassment and discrimination and enclosed copies of the policies in employees’ paychecks. However, the company said that, after reviewing surveillance video and interviewing employees, it could not determine who hung the noose. Daniels said he was asked whether he himself had hung it. “I think that [question] is normal where the work environment is primarily white,” he said. “At the same time, it was hurtful.” He said he told officials he would be willing to take a polygraph test. For machinist Eddie Clarke, 48, of Hatfield, the harassment went beyond the symbolic and annoying to physically threatening. On Feb. 21, 2010, he said, he was coming around the corner, heading toward his tool cabinet, when a metal shank sliced through his pant legs and cut his leg. “I had to pull the metal from my leg,” Clarke wrote in a sworn affidavit. Someone had rigged a metal shank to his tool cabinet in an area where he was the only person working. At the news conference, Clarke said that before the incident he had complained to top company officials about harassment. His supervisor warned him to stop complaining or he’d be the victim of “friendly fire,” Clarke said. All three men, who are still employed, said they loved their jobs but feared for their safety at work. “We have been in contact with federal, state and local authorities,” said Siemens spokeswoman Camille Johnston. She declined to say whether the supervisor had been disciplined. “The company is responding to the EEOC charges as appropriate.” SMH. This is just unacceptable. They rigged the man’s area so he would be shanked??? And it’s not in this report, but another report says the supervisor who warned about “friendly fire” later told dude “I’m surprised you’re still alive.” Source
Could this be the iceberg that sinks Dr. O’Neal’s Titantic sized public-relations machine?? Shaquille O’Neal And Ex-Mistress Vanessa Lopez Headed To Court Over Harassment Suit According to reports on RadarOnline A trial date is set to be scheduled in a lawsuit that was filed against Shaquille O’Neal by his former mistress, Vanessa Lopez, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. Lopez filed the lawsuit against O’Neal in Orange County, Florida, for intentional infliction of emotional distress and assault. Lopez says Shaq started harassing her shortly after she told him she thought she was pregnant. The former NBA center initially accused her of sleeping with someone else and when she broke off their relationship, she claims the threats began. Shaq tried to get the lawsuit dismissed, but was denied. In the suit, Lopez claims she was the victim of a number of scary incidents — most notably a threatening text that Shaq allegedly sent to a friend of his saying, “dis is da numba shut dat b*tch up!” Lopez says the friend responded with a text saying, “consider it done famo.” The friend then jumped on a plane to Orlando, Florida, and allegedly texted Lopez before calling her on her cell, sounding “menacing and sinister.” Sound like some crazy isht out of a Scream movie. “A trial date is very close to being scheduled as settlement talks aren’t getting anywhere,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “The trial date will likely be set in the next 30 days and the trial could start later this year. Shaq would be forced to take the stand and answer blistering questions from Vanessa’s lawyers, Gloria Allred and Nathan Goldberg. “Shaq wants to become the General Manager of the Orlando Magic and a public trial could very much harm his career and his legacy. Lopez’s lawyers feel that there is more than enough evidence to convince a jury of the allegations that she has made against him.” Compounding matters, there’s a motion filed by Lopez’s attorneys to allow the trial to be televised. “Vanessa wants the public to know exactly what Shaq did to her and she is looking forward to the day of taking the stand and telling a jury of her peers exactly what happened,” the insider says. “She wants him to be treated just like anyone else, it’s just about the truth, period.” In the papers, Lopez claims that Shaq’s family was in on the intimidation act as well, making her fear for her safety. Lopez, who’s seeking unspecified damages, claims Shaq’s 6-foot-6 and 6-foot-8 sisters made verbal and physical threats against her. This won’t be the first time that we’ve heard rumors of Shaq gettin’ his Don Corleone on with these heauxs, he better hope he’s as innocent as he claims he is! Image via WENN
The Intouchables hits so many audience-pleasing buttons, meticulously and dutifully, that it ought to be called The Irresistibles . This is the French movie you’ve been hearing about, a megahit in its native country and currently spreading across Europe like a cheerful, robust strain of flu. Based on a true story about a wheelchair-bound rich guy and his caretaker, a small-time crook from the projects, The Intouchables is a movie about life, love and the enduring power of Earth Wind & Fire. You have been forewarned. Actually, The Intouchables isn’t bad — its merely shameless, but at least it’s overtly so. The picture, written and directed by Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache, stars François Cluzet as Philippe, the lonely wheelchair guy. Philippe is paralyzed from the neck down, the victim of a paragliding accident; he also lost his beloved wife years ago and is left with only a wiseacre teenage daughter who barely features in the story (she’s played, in a few fleeting, pouty scenes, by Alba Gaïa Kraghede Bellugi) and a houseful of servants, some of whom — like the super-efficient Yvonne (played by the earthbound and appealing Anne Le Ny) — seem to actually care for him. But Philippe also needs a strong, masculine caretaker, and when a strapping Senegalese fellow named Driss (Omar Sy) applies for the job, he’s hired almost against his own wishes. (He’d shown up for the interview at Philippe’s tony Paris mansionette only to get his papers signed, showing that he’d attempted to find work, in order to receive state benefits.) Philippe is an aesthete, a lover of fine art and classical music, and he has everything money can buy. But he needs a pal and a few laughs, as well as a companion who will treat him normally and not like a freak. When a concerned friend, suspicious of Driss and his motives, warns Philippe, “These street people have no pity,” Philippe responds firmly, “That’s what I want — no pity.” Driss, for his part, provides Philippe with more Live! Laugh! Love! moments than you or I could possibly count, despite the fact that he comes from a tough neighborhood and has some unresolved family troubles. And even though he steals a precious Fabergé egg — one with great sentimental value — from Philippe’s collection of same, the two form an indissoluble bond. Driss cheers Philippe up with his bad puns, he grins and/or dances infectiously whenever he hears “September” or “Boogie Wonderland,” and he helps Philippe court a new lady love. Philippe gradually loses his glum demeanor (Cluzet is really good at the glum stuff) and becomes guardedly cheerful, enjoying life for the first time in eons. Not much else happens in The Intouchables , though not much else needs to. The movie has the carefully calibrated inner workings of a watch movement: As it efficiently ticks away, it speaks to everything we want and need to believe about human frailty and the importance of connection. Toledano and Nakache keep the gears running smoothly — to their credit, they don’t throw in any moments of serious endangerment in order to up the drama quotient. (They were inspired to make the film after seeing a documentary about the real-life Philippe, Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, and his relationship with a man named Abdel, a young guy from the projects who came to work for him and changed his life around.) The friendship between Philippe and Driss, as the filmmakers present it, certainly is solid and life-changing, on both sides. I hesitate to use the term “magical Negro” because I think the term is too carelessly slapped onto any story in which white people learn something from people of color. Even in our racially mixed world — particularly here in the United States — the reality is that most white people live mostly around other white people, and sometimes it really does take an encounter with someone whose life, and whose skin color, is not like yours to shake things up. If you ask me, those encounters are less magical than they are necessary. That said, there is something a little magical about Driss, but that could be just because Sy is a charming, criminally likable presence. Sy has worked extensively in French movies and television, and he appeared in a previous feature made by Toledano and Nakache, the 2006 comedy Those Happy Days . (He also appeared in Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s 2009 whimsical windup toy Micmacs .) Sy makes The Intouchables worth watching, not because he adequately fulfills any perceived notion of the joyful person of color, but because he quite simply seems filled with joy. He earns bonus points for maintaining such boundless joie de vivre even as he spends so much time hanging around a French sourpuss like Cluzet’s Philippe. The Intouchables is not particularly complex, but it certainly hits its target. Whether or not you want that target hit is up to you. Meanwhile, Sy’s performance almost makes you forget how calculated the whole thing is. Plus, Driss is damn right about Earth Wind & Fire. Follow Stephanie Zacharek on Twitter .
