This really isn’t a relative post for St. Paddy’s Day but you have to embrace the Legally Weird news when it happens.
A guy in Arizona was sentenced for stabbing his roommate because he wouldn’t let him suck his blood. Really?!
Aaron Homer was sentenced to three years of probation for stabbing his roommate in the arm. Apparently, the roommate had offered up his blood in the past for Homer and his girlfriend and the two being fans of “True Blood” often act out some of the gruesome scenes from the series. They must be acting out a lot because if you’ve watched the series you know there’s many.
This caught my attention because it’s bizarre but also because I just saw some interviews with former members of a Kentucky vampire cult formed in the mid 1990s. The cult members, mostly in their teens, drank human blood, sacrificed animals and indulged in sex and drugs. Their leader Rod Ferrell killed a Central Florida couple in 1996, which ended their cult.
My point in all this is are we too fascinated with vampires? Look at our TV series – “True Blood,” Vampire Diaries,” “Being Human,” and lets not forget the continuing movie saga Twilight. I’m a bit guilty myself of that fascination with the thought of immortal life but it’s purely fantasy and entertainment. Honestly, I faint at the sight of real blood. The thought of being bitten doesn’t appeal to me. I’m a wimp when it comes to pain. And besides that, have you ever looked at a vampire’s teeth. Gnarly!
Check the Rod Ferrell story. It’s wacky. I’m guessing he wasn’t hugged enough as a child.
