Limited Information

The one thing that I find rather odd about strange circumstances, in regard to zombie-like behavior, is that once the initial report has been filed it is difficult to find any further information regarding the case. Stranger still is that the general public seems to ignore the evidence and move on with their daily lives. (Which is all well and good mind you.) But it makes me wonder why? Doesn't the general populace have a right to know what is going on in the world around them? I think so.
In 2010 in Lincoln Nebraska one such case caught my eye. It was on the morning news (1011 channel). A man had shot another man who appeared sick, disorientated and violent. The shooter told police that the other man had tried to attack him and that's when he open fired. The case was reported only once, and no follow up material on the case subject has been found. Then this case in Miami (detailed in the previous posting) over Memorial Day weekend.
Information suppression is something that is common place. Most communities feel that "by letting the public know what is really going on it may cause pandemonium." But I believe that the "not-knowing" should be the thing that causes the uproars, especially when the subject matter is sensitive in nature. A man ate another man's face. A man shot another man because he was going to be attacked. It all seems strange. Don't build "hype" just state facts.
 I have spoken to several people in regards to this Miami case and I will show you what they think of it:

"Did you hear about that zombie in Miami? It's coming. I knew the world was going to end." -Cashier at Shopko, Lincoln

"I seriously think that the government had something to do with it. I mean they are constantly working on things that the general public has no idea of." -Coworker, Lincoln

"Disease, drugs, government, to be honest with you, all of it could be right. Haven't you heard of biological warfare and the Manchurian Candidate? All I know is that one guy ate another guy's face, that isn't normal." -Bus rider, Lincoln

I am a firm believer that one day Mother Nature, the government etc. will figure out a way of population control and like the plagues, human beings will go through hell to survive and prove that they are top of the food chain. Zombies may just be our next great human battle. (I personally hope it is.) But the only way to know for certain what is going on is if we as the general public are allowed to know the details of "sensitive" cases of that nature. Cases like these used to be rare, however in the last few years they have increased. Despite the fact that most, if not all detail is suppressed. So to those of you reading this, do your research. Because I don't want to see any of you mauled and half eaten like that man in Miami!
