I'm gonna have to jump back on there and get a couple more grabs... ya know, just in case the "scrubbers" come along.
Funny too, as most peoples (faces) are blurred out in google. Not this one.
How ironic is that, if it is in fact him?edit on 12/6/2 by telemetry because: classified
That same day, May 24, Miami Police rousted Poppo from one of the last places he called home: the top floor of the parking garage at Jungle Island, the Watson Island botanical and wildlife attraction.
Outreach workers from the Miami Homeless Assistance Program found him there and offered help, said Ronald Book, chairman of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust.
But after Poppo became "belligerent and aggressive," the outreach team called police. Officers issued Poppo, who had turned 65 a week earlier, a "trespassing after warning" citation.
"He grabbed his box of stuff and went off," said Book. Outreach workers reported he was "cursing and claiming discrimination."
About 2 p.m. on Saturday, a naked Rudy Eugene grabbed Poppo near the causeway's west end, stripped off his clothes, beat him, bit him and gnawed off his face.

Druid42, skitzspiricy, thePharaoh:
All very interesting questions - for sure and I appreciate the feedback from you all!I'd like to delve into those things individually, which will most likely require a separate and more lengthy reply on my part
Regarding the "other" security camera on the Herald bldg. I think, that if it was pointed in the right direction... the MacArthur causeway, then perhaps there would be footage of Rudy. They did say he walked down that from Miami Beach yes?
What I'm not so sure of, is whether said second camera would provide any more or maybe better footage of the attack. It is on the same side of the building, but further back on the corner. (just to clarify)
I did some more recon today, and found a few more interesting things that may be relevant. First, here is an image of the wall... on the walkway there. It's a typical "Jersey Barrier" I believe that's what they are called. They are something like 3 or 3 1/2 feet tall, so I don't see how they weren't noticed sooner. Fact is, those things aren't waist high, unless the average person is 4 foot 6. Even crouching, I would think Rudy would have easily been seen - especially from taller cars, suv's.. and more notably from the passenger side. Anyway, here is a picture:
Oh, and get this - I think I might have spotted someone (to me at least) could very well be Ron, hiking across the causeway in april 2011. What do you all think?
I'll take another couple looks at the vid, thePharaoh... and let you know what I think.

Yeah I see what you see after downloading it and watching at fullscreen. Strange.

At 2:51 it appears that he gestures in that direction too. Like telling someone to piss off.
Where's that from? Anymore to it? You have the link? Ty
P.S....druid...dude where the screen shot of the cop car 1:58 mins....lol
The first police cruiser (i think) goes by at around the 17:42 mins, probably doing a U-Turn off screen and pulls in at around 17:54 mins.

Would be nice to have a look at the original video.
...... Callers only reported seeing two men fighting in the shadow of The Miami Herald headquarters but did not mention seeing Poppo's face being torn off and eaten. 'He's going to kill that man, I promise you,' a female bus driver said, urging a 911 operator to send help. Poppo remains hospitalised.
The driver, who wasn't named by authorities, described the scene as she drove by. 'Listen, there is a naked man on the MacArthur Causeway,' she said. 'He is beating another man to a pulp - like on top of the man, beating him, the man is bleeding.'
Another caller said the two men were fighting, saying they nearly knocked over an elderly bicyclist.
'These two bums were going at it with each other, taking up the whole lane,' the caller said. 'I think they were fighting or something.'
