Mother Of Miami Cannibal Speaks Out

Dude was growling and eating someone’s face off for crying out loud!!!!!

The mother of Rudy Eugene, who attacked a homeless man in Miami and chewed his face before being shot and killed by a police officer, says her son was “a nice kid” who could have been subdued with a Taser rather than deadly gunfire, CBS Miami reports. The mother, who asked CBS Miami not to reveal her name, said that wasn’t her son who she saw on TV – the son who also had two baby brothers, and that “they used to go to church all the time together.”

“He was a good kid,” she said. “He gave me a nice card on Mother’s Day. Everyone says he was a zombie. He was no zombie. That was my son.” On Saturday afternoon, the 31-year-old Eugene was killed by a police officer after a reported 18-minute attack on a homeless man, who police identified as 65-year-old Ronald Poppo. Video of the incident shows Eugene coming across Poppo on a sidewalk along Miami’s MacArthur Causeway, stripping clothes off him and eventually chewing on his face.

Poppo was in critical condition at a Miami hospital. Police said he lost 75 percent of his face in the attack. But Eugene’s mother told CBS Miami that she never had problems with him, and it wasn’t necessary for police to shoot him.

“They could have tased him,” she said. “I saw what happened on TV and I started crying.” Eugene’s girlfriend, who also requested anonymity from CBS Miami, said the face-eating attacker she saw on TV was nothing like the man she knew and loved. “That wasn’t him, that was his body but it wasn’t his spirit. Somebody did this to him,” she said.

“He loved God. He always read the Bible. He would give you knowledge on the Bible. Everywhere he went his Bible went. When he left he had his Bible in his hand.” Eugene’s girlfriend described him as a “sweet loving gentleman” and a “hard working man” who worked at a car wash and dreamed of owning his own business. She said she has no idea what caused the attack, but she saw no signs of any violence in the nearly five years they lived together.

SMH. That’s what drugs do to you.
