Acid-tripping man claims to be God, asks cops to cut off his penis

University of Florida student Michael Joseph Silecchia was wandering around campus apartments when Gainesville police responded to a reports of a suspicious person.

When police arrived, Silecchia took his clothes off and said he was “God” and “straight,” according to The Independent Florida Alligator. The student told officers, “Don’t cut my penis off,” then changed his mind and said, “Cut my penis off,” according to the police report.

Officers say he also yelled that he had taken acid, the hallucinogenic drug LSD, though police haven't confirmed if Silecchia was under the influence at the time.

Silecchia was told several times to dress himself, but refused.. He tried to walk away from police and was physically restrained, prompting a struggle. Silecchia was wrestled to the ground, but rose up to punch a female officer in the head, according to the report.

Officers used a taser on Silecchia six times with "no effect," according to the report. Silecchia was later taken to Shands hospital at UF, where he police say he spat at a hospital employee.

Yeah, so do I.

The Wall is absolutely iconic.

I still have my vinyl copy of Ummagumma.

It’s the street name for a combination of chemicals. No connection to commericial bath salts for your tub.


I think they’ve been sold in “Head Shops” but labeled “not for ingestion.”

The Wall is my fav-it was the first tape I carried to the truck I bought a couple weeks ago.

No vinyl here, but I’ve got their stuff on tapes I need to burn to CD.

I miss vinyl.

I may be a Luddite but I fought the CD switchover for years.

Nothing sounds as rich and full as vinyl on a good turntable.

[But now I’ve got like 9000+ songs on my iPods. Oh well.]

I think bath salts caused that guy to eat another guys face a few months ago but I’m not 100 percent sure.

as for LSD I keep thinking of this episode of Dragnet they showed us in high school on why we shouldn’t take it. the episode with Blue boy.

Ack!

When I was about 9 or 10, my school teacher aunt gave me “Go Ask Alice” to read.

Nightmares, psychological trauma and lifelong phobias notwithstanding, it certainly kept me clean.

My HS showed us gory driver’s ed movies but never drugs.

Maybe because they weren’t much of a problem in hillbilly world.

“Holy s***-that sounds worse than the “real” LSD.”

It is worse than LSD because the person is super strong and I've made a point of reading about every case and a number of them had to be shot to death to stop them because they couldn't get control of them and they were trying to eat the flesh of the cops. I'd shoot one, too, because a bite from one could mean bad infection since you wouldn't know if they are diseased which they would tend to be if they were so degraded to use chemicals like that. Aids would be at the top of my list of possibilities.

Bad acid, I guess. I hate when that happens....

I haven’t had any vinyl, or a way to play it in at least 20 years, but CD really doesn’t have the same sound.

I doubt you’ll find many here (if any) who support legalizing LSD.

“Go Ask Alice” is scary, even now. When I was a casemanager, I started softly singing that at a working lunch when two co-workers started chatting about how great the new, legal psychotropic drugs were, and how they were able to get them, which pissed me off-totally inappropriate. I took a job at a construction company shortly after that-I don’t like to work with people who do drugs, legal or not...

I wasn’t exposed to the drug culture until I went off to college, either-fortunately, I didn’t find the chance of psychotic episodes recurrent paranoia and maybe JAIL appealing enough to do a lot of experimenting-I’m drug sensitive anyway, so I’d likely have put my lights out for good.
