I think this sort of thing has probably always gone on, but the Internet means we are more likely to hear about it ?

I can't help but wonder if this is merely a function of increased reporting? There have always been the crazies. It just took the media some time to exploit this newest source of shock-media-peddled-as-real-news the internet makes readily available.
I think these stories say more about the media than they do about the incidents themselves.

Umm...cannibalism has been around for a LONG time and has been practiced in many tribal communities for many years. This is nothing new and 4 or 5 cases of people going insane and doing these things is hardly a cause for alarm when there are close to 7 billion people in the world. The only reason you are hearing/reading more about it is because of the ONE case that involved a guy that was high on drugs chewing someones face off in Florida and then you searched for others. None of the others made world/national news and were only reported in small local stations. If there were truly something going on then there would be a LOT more of these cases happening and not in sporadic townships and areas. They would start centralized and spread from there. Sensationalism at its best here folks......

What is going on here??? Eating other people is not something we hear about often and yet this is like the 4th or 5th case this week!! And that's just what's being reported. Who knows what might be happening in the back alleys or woods.

I was just going to say that. Found it on USA Today's website also and it is from 2009. Not sure how this came to light today all of a sudden but I even saw reference to it on Facebook via "Socialcam" which I dont use but when others use it the video is shown on my news feed. Odd that someone is pushing this back up into the media.

Oh, and you still only brought up 2 cases of anyone eating anyone else. The others have nothing to do with cannibalism so your title is completely misleading and seems to be only posted for attention seeking purposes. That and in your OP you only link to one case and couldn't even find the others you are referencing happened THIS WEEK.

So where are these other 3 cases that happened this week? Or were you just out to get stars and flags.....again......?

This can't be normal or common. Something MUST be in the air, in the water, in the television waves, in Monsanto foods, in the vaccinations, in the chemtrails, in aspartame, in meats, in HAARP or SOMETHING because this is too disturbing already!!!

Oooh. Maybe its the "Chem-Trails"...
Ok. I had to say it before one of them did.
I in no way believe in Chem-Trails.. For the record. I think That is looking for something that isnt there. I will say that over the years there seems to be an increase in crazies doing stupid crap. But in the past there were whole tribes of canibles so it isnt something exclusive to this century or anything, but there does seem to be a rash of craziness going on lately.
