The ongoing outbreaks of individual madness/cannibalism in North America are being mocked as a “zombie outbreak,” but there's nothing the least bit funny about it.
As the economy and country continue to spiral, these desperate acts embody just how far we're slipping, whether from hunger (the July 2010 Los Angeles account of a homeless woman seizing and biting a baby's arm) or the conflation of drug abuse/insanity (the infamous Florida attack and killing in May).
We've tolerated a succession of Hunger Belts in America for a full generation now. Such attacks are also a result of absolutely no form of safety net left for those at the real bottom.
