Yesterday, an unnamed man walked into a homeless shelter in downtown Seattle proclaiming himself a vampire who wanted to eat people. When asked to leave, he revealed what at the time appeared to be a pipe bomb attached to his wrist and threatened to bomb the building. Luckily, the pipe bomb wasn’t a pipe bomb but a simple metal pipe with plastic debris attached to his wrist. The vampire is currently in custody and is awaiting a mental evaluation.
Sometimes, instances like this makes me wonder — is it so wrong for people to call themselves criminals rather than vampires? Why do vampires have to get a bad rep?
