Pastor Geronimo Aguilar Believes Drug-Induced Attacks, Like That of the Miami Zombie, Can Be Avoided

NEW YORK, NY, July 09, 2012 (Press-News.org) Rudy Eugene, who is accused of chewing off a man's face during a zombie-like attack, may have been under the influence of bath salts, according to a CNN news story. Bath salts are now being referred to as the new LSD. One witnessed recalled seeing Eugene "tearing (the man) to pieces with his mouth" and that he was "eating the other guy away, like ripping his skin off." The attack ended when police shot Eugene several times, killing him. Pastor Geronimo Aguilar, of The Richmond Center, said the zombie attack has really opened up his eyes to the relationship between drugs and religion in America.

Fraternal Order of the Police President Armando Aguilar said four other drug use instances in the Miami-Dade area bear similar markings to Eugene's attack on the man, whose name has not been released. Armando Aguilar said bath salt users "go completely insane and become very violent," often removing their clothing. Dr. Paul Adams, an emergency room physician at Jackson Memorial Hospital, said the drug makes people delirious and gives them more physical strength. Also, Adams said users believe they can use their jaws as weapons.

The 2011 National Institute of Drug Abuse reported that bath salts contain amphetamine-like chemicals. "Doctors and clinicians at U.S. poison centers have indicated that ingesting or snorting bath salts containing synthetic stimulants can cause chest pains, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, hallucinations, extreme paranoia and delusions," according to the report.

Pastor Geronimo Aguilar believes there are other reasons why people turn to bath salts and drugs for help.

"The zombie attacks are said to have been a result of the use of bath salts and the truth is, people turn to drugs when something else is missing," Pastor Geronimo Aguilar said. "Jesus fills a void that if young people just gave Him a chance, it would save them from making mistakes that would determine the fate of the lives like the young man involved in this monstrosity. If nobody is out there telling these people there is a purpose and plan for their lives, they will find that through drugs and other destructive behaviors."
