In today’s David Seaman Hour! video segment, I talked about a report posted by ABC 13 Houston that there were, in fact, military helicopters running aggressive urban warfare exercises over parts of the city — this comes just days after disturbing social media reports of similar ‘war games’ in Miami. (See this post – ed.)

If these exercises are merely to train our troops for existing combat zones — namely, Afghanistan — what city over there resembles Houston or Miami? (Read more…) (Hint: None of them do.)

And even if these exercises were being conducted with the utmost transparency, would this be a reasonable use of our tax dollars, at a time when millions are unemployed, our education system is falling behind, and our infrastructure is in dire need of upgrades…

Miami’s WSVN reports in surreal fashion on a “joint military training exercise involving city police and the military” in which a swarm of helicopters hovered above Miami’s city center and the sounds of machine gun fire filled the air at the same time as thousands of spectators exited a Miami Heat basketball game.

The purpose on the military side was to “prepare for some overseas [activities]” and to ensure that “equipment was in check.” Police emphasized that this was only a drill. But the obvious question is, what was this a drill for? (Read more…) And, too bad for any local residents who did not want to be unwitting participants in a military exercise:

 
Victim of ‘Miami cannibal’ face-eating attack recalls the horrible incident

The victim of the so-called “Miami cannibal” told police officers that he briefly thought his attacker “was a good guy.”

Rudy Eugene was shot dead in July by police after he was found eating Ronald Poppo’s face on the MacArthur Causeway in Miami.

“He just ripped me to ribbons,” Poppo told police in taped interviews from July. (Read more…) “He chewed up my face. He plucked out my eyes. Basically that’s all there is to say about it.”

“He mashed my face into the sidewalk,” he said. “My face is all bent and mashed up. My eyes got plucked out. He was strangling me in wrestling holds — at the same time he was plucking my eyes out.”

Poppo lost up to 80 percent of his face in the gruesome attack. He is expected to recover from the attack, despite being severely disfigured.

“For a very short amount of time I thought he was a good guy,” Poppo recalled. “But he just went and turned berserk,. He apparently didn’t have a good day at the beach and he was coming back. And I guess he took it out, took it out on me or something. I don’t know.”

Police had claimed Eugene was overdosing on synthetic stimulants sold under the name “bath salts.” But the toxicology report released in June did not find evidence that Eugene had ingested any psychoactive substance besides marijuana.
