Wasco incident (warning disturbing story) 😒

Edited to remove active links

I just finished reading this disturbing story:

might be giving a run for its money in a horrifying incident.

According to a video of a man reportedly carrying a severed leg in Wasco made the rounds on social media over the weekend. The limb allegedly belonged to an individual who was struck and killed at the local Amtrak train station on Friday morning,

In the disturbing footage, the man is seen holding and possibly even taking bites out of the leg.

The Kern County Sheriff’s Office said that they were able to locate the suspect, Resendo Tellez, 27, that afternoon and booked him for taking evidence from a scene, and removing or mutilating human remains. TMZ says Tellez had other outstanding warrants including possession of drug paraphernalia.

A witness told that Tellez "started chewing on [the leg] over there, he was biting it and he was hitting it against the wall and everything."

Carlos Baldovinos, executive director of the Mission at Kern County, told KGET that someone brought a severed hand to the shelter three weeks ago following an incident where a train hit a pedestrian in Bakersfield.

“I have never seen or heard of anything like that before,” said Baldovinos.

What makes things even more confusing is that investigators supposedly accounted for all body parts in the Bakersfield crash."

Example of how mind altering drugs can cause mental illness or excerbate mental illness

WHAT IN THE WORLD???😲 Reading this jaw-dropping story of such horrific DEPRAVITY sickens me!!!😡 To know this is where we have come, is extremely disturbing!😟

I know this is not the first story of cannibalism or drug induced mania/psychosis, or mental illness, nor will it likely be the last, but this is the reason I try to stay AWAY from mainstream news these days! It has become so much more graphic and gruesome because PEOPLE are becoming that way. This is just shocking!😐

I would NEVER be the same after having witnessed something this barbaric, and am just shaking my head trying to process this!👍

I am sending heartfelt PRAYERS of solace for the family of the victim as they grieve the unimagineable!!🙏🙏💝💝

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

Ugh me too and I'm actually sorry that I opened this thread to read it. If I had known it was something this awful, I would have avoided it completely.

There are many horrid things going on in this country because of drugs, alcohol and mental illness. How abt the guy in NY who recently pushed a man to his death in the subway or women walking down of the street in NY getting punched in the face . Better to be aware and on your guard as there seems to be alot more people brazen to commit harm to others as compared to years past .

People have a multitude of news outlets they can view to be informed of all the horrible, awful and brazen things that are going on in the world.

I think many come to the Q board to escape the news of the day for easy, light hearted stories and for general info on a number of things.

It upsets many to open threads here without any type of warning and reading horrible things.

If someone feels they must share gruesome stories, a "warning" would be appreciated.

There are many disturbing threads like the one about the mother who left her sixteen month old daughter alone to die.

@skatting44 I wholeheartedly CONCUR, and sadly am always hypervigilant when out and about now because of what is happening!👍 Our days of innocence are gone.😐 Gone are the days when we felt reasonably safe as long as we did not venture into certain places.🤔 I still remain as POSITIVE as I can but know that all the positivity in the world does not guarantee I will not become a victim. I just pray for our nation!🙏💝🙏

@lgfan Thank you for adding the "warning."

I appreciate it.

I read this before the warning. Then the mother story which I only read 2 words of the title and purposely avoided was brought up again here!

I don't know about others but for me, I wish I had never ever read that.

I will go on thinking about it for a long time in addition to all the already upsetting things that are happening to those I know!

I feel sick right now and just don't understand why! Why people have to post the most sad and horrible things they read from all over the country!

I'm just going to have to avoid a lot of posts and posters from now on.

It is just so upsetting.

How awful for the person who died on the train tracks, to have their body violated in such a manner, but also for the one who clearly had no idea what he was doing with the body part.

He's either seriously mentally ill, or under the influence of who knows what. While this story is horrid and disturbing, for many, it's just sad for me. After working for so long in Psych, it's not a shocker that the unimaginable can, and does, happen.

I made the mistake of finding a news outlet that showed the unsencored video of it happening . The man is clearly mentally ill and in a drug altered state- this is the type of stuff that you see in horror films. Sad all around- for the pedestrian who was hit by the train, witnesses and the man who needs help with drug issues and his mental health.

I should have stopped at the headline. Now I can't unsee this.

@lgfan

Im glad you posted this story. I hadn't heard anything about it yet. Maybe I'm weird, but I watch a lot of the ID channel and they have things like this on all the time. Of course I hate for anythlike this to happen. It's horrible and scary!

Personally, I think it's important to know exactly what kind of people are out here.

I can recall watching a show on the ID channel recently telling about another man in LA who killed a guy, cut his head off and walked outside holding it. While still in his hand, he jumped the neighboring fence, somehow got into another home and killed them. He left the first guys head on the bed of the second home.

This happened in Beverly Hills if I'm not mistaken.

@cheriere I've watched a ton of ID specials and crime specials- I think that I remember that one that you're talking about ! These types of crimes are really disturbing- its like a demon takes over the perpetrator's mind.

Thats the Perfect Description! It is like a demon taking over someone's body. I'm always shocked at the things some people do...most of the time for no reason at all. The randomness of these acts is what makes it even scarier!

@cheriere Its so crazy! To think that these people the night before had dinner, maybe talked with friends and then the next day commit such an awful act- its so nuts! I think sometimes people can see the warning signs, but I don't think anybody was prepared to witness or even visualize something like this in the news today!

The more and more I think about it, and what my mom used to say about how the mind/brain in some people does what it does......'It's just the way that person's brain works', etc.

I'm leaning toward the thought that the brain is complicated, and a certain portion of the brain overtakes the thinking portion of the brain, and just does what it does.

More of a physical thing, rather than mental

I don't know what's in the brain, but I'm visualizing it, and pointing to one section that just might physically prompt (overtake) someone to do something very bad.

I've often thought and said that even wild animals and pets from the same litter: one or two might be mean/vicious while the others in the litter are very nice, docile.

It's in the genes from way-way back in time or it's in the functioning of the brain.

Just a theory of mine, right or wrong.

That's so true! No one on earth would expect to read such a crazy story like this in the news.

@ROMARY That's a really interesting theory and I think you could be definitely be right!
