Epic Rampage of Violence and Destruction

Why does it seem when you need the cops because your physical safety might be in danger they take the longest to arrive. Good thing his roommate and coworkers were on the cops side.

Oddly, I have found faster response times using the non-emergency number for the local PD. Of course it a small suburb and I used the phrase possibly intoxicated black male driving around my lot unable to find the pumps in a lifted f350, just about ran the one cop over when he walked up. My coworkers said I overracted, paramedics said it was good I called else someone would have gotten hurt. Either the driver in diabetic shock unaware of where he was, or someone he inevitably ran into.

I sure don't envy the OP here. We can boast of a good relation with our local PD--especially since the station is around the corner.
Yeah, that SC may well have been on something--or he could have simply been an alpha asshole. A SC's SC.

I'm going to chime in again and say the drug was probably not acid (aka LSD). One of my old high school friends once described being on acid very eloquently: "You're ten feet tall and bullet-proof." The thing with acid, though, is you FEEL ten feet tall and bullet-proof. Unlike PCP (and other drugs), it doesn't ACTUALLY make you any stronger or more resilient to anything or anyone. It's a hallucinogen, nothing more.

That was your friend's trip. I've never... *cough* Nobody I know that's taken it has had that kind of a trip that I'm aware of, and it was something that was discussed frequently. >_>

I did have one friend that was on acid and speed and lost his hands, then found them again and had to show everybody. Later that night, he forgot how to breathe and pissed everybody else off because he was freaking out about it, even though he was breathing just fine. Since this was the sort of reaction he had every time he took that mix, nobody could figure out why he kept doing it.

I am thinking the fact he was on drugs had something to do with it

I too lean toward PCP as the ingestion choise of Mr Violent. not that I ever did anything like that but all of the warnings we got during the height of that craze (back in the early 1980's) was the likely violent outbursts (from horse tranquilizers at that)

but then again booze can have the same effect on certain people as in they just turn MEAN and violent

it IS possible that he was having a bad LSD trip (ya know the "I can FLY" thing or "There are roaches crawling outta my skin/the walls/the air" thing or the "I am in a very dark scary place with weird colors flying all around me and there are big hairy pink monsters and I am freaked out" thing)

It wasn't a trip at all. It was how he described the feeling of being on acid at a time when he wasn't, which I and several of our friends concurred with. Just because the people you talked to didn't feel the same doesn't change the fact that we did. Of course, being from two very different parts of the country may well have resulted in two very different kinds of acid, or just two different kinds of mindsets on said acid. LSD, just like any other drug, can vary widely.

I too considered the bad trip possibility, but immediately discounted it when I read the part about them needing 7 people to subdue him. While he may have believed he had enough strength to do that, LSD wouldn't actually give him that strength...merely the hallucination that he had it.
