The picture is shocking and unbelievable.
Last year, a mug shot surfaced showing a man, picked up on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute, with only half a head. It was taken by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s office:
And it’s not a hoax.
Now, the man behind the photo has surfaced again, this time explaining how he got his injury. HuffPo reports he’s popped up in a series of YouTube videos and details what he’s saying:
Answering to the name “Halfy” and smoking what looks an awful lot like a blunt, he suggests it’s best to stay off drugs.
“[I was] on drugs, I was driving, and I hit a pole, and I flew out the front window and landed on my head,” he says, turning side to side to show off a flattened skull. “That’s why it’s no good, drinking and driving or drug — drugness and driving. No good, kids. No good.” [Emphasis added]
“Halfy,” who has been identified variously as Carlos Sosa or Carlos Rodriguez, then alleges the president of the United States uses drugs, affirms his love of large women, and makes several sexually explicit remarks. In a second video, he again smokes what appears to be a blunt as the narrator laughingly says, “Hello, world, I want y’all to meet Halfy…he’s kind of famous already.”
The Miami New Times first came across the video and posted it yesterday. You can watch it below, but warning, it contains graphic language and sexual content:
“Halfy,” however, isn’t the only man with such a distinguishing injury. According to (The Sun), the UK’s Alan Hind suffered a fall that left him with a similar appearance:

Feb. 16, 2012 at 2:05pmHe can’t learn from his injury. He clearly no longer has a frontal lobe. That means he has no higher order thinking, can’t learn, can’t tell when something is a bad idea, and can’t control his impulses. If he wants to have sex, he has sex, no filter. If he thinks of sex, he speaks of sex, no filter. I’ve worked with a sex offender with a similar injury. Unlike this guy, he didn’t lose his skull, but he lost everything inside it for several inches back. He had absolutely no ability to stop himself from doing anything that occurred to him.

Feb. 16, 2012 at 4:14pmJane, there is a case of a UK math/physics teach that went under a CAT scan in his early thirties because of frequent headaches. They found that he has … no brain! All he had is a brain cell lining along the skull inside surface, 3/4 inch thick, the rest was filled with fluid. He was apparently an undetected hydrocephalic. So, no front lobe in a real sense to speak of, yet he was in all respects absolutely normal.
My take on Halfie is that though he had frontal lobes initially, he never used them,so no loss whatsoever transpired in his case.

Feb. 16, 2012 at 3:10pmI think it is an amazing story. Look what our medical system is able to save – wow.
It also gives us a peak at how some people choose to live their life. The ACLU has no problem with that — but I can’t have a cross?
This story puts a number of things into prospective and that makes it newsworthy.
Oh — and how did he get his head fixed before Obama Care? Maybe the old system did work. I wonder if the death panel would have allowed the cost of the surgery?
jespasinthru
Feb. 17, 2012 at 8:34pm9111315, you have a point there. If his self-induced trauma had happened in any country except the USA, he would have died. They would have “allowed” him to die. But this is America. People with medical expertise and compassion saved him and fixed him. He’s not brain-dead, and he’s not an imbecile. That’s the kind of miracle of science that can only happen in this country. Granted, he’s still just a street (b)rat. But he’s no different than the ones we all occasionally encounter in our daily lives, and they still have their whole heads. That’s why Obamacare MUST be repealed. Technological innovations would be regulated, taxed and crushed under that law. Doctors and researchers would be constantly monitored under that law. “Death panels” would decide who is worthy of medical treatment, and who should be “allowed” to die. And it’s not just about some street rat with a messed-up head. The next victim could be your grandma who needs a hip replacement, and some unelected bureaucrat would say: “You’re old and unproductive, so we won’t waste money on you. Go home and suffer until you die. And your private insurance is no longer an option, because we have seized it.” REPEAL OBAMACARE!

HOWEVER, this is a VERY SAD story as this man has probably LOST HIS SOUL as well (his cognitive reasoning is probably GONE), which is very disturbing to me. Satan got this guy.
All I can say is that I have compassion for him and hope God helps him to find eternity with Jesus.
Now Obama, on the other hand, well……….there’s someone you should be praying for also – THAT GOD CASTS OUT THOSE DEMONS THAT ARE IN HIM.

This guy would make a good Democrat governor. John Corzine felt he could be driven by a state trooper at 95 mph & not wear a seat belt. Then former Senator & former governor Corzine (D) got hired by a brokerage MF Global & broke that company in 1 year flat.

Feb. 16, 2012 at 12:55pmClues as to why Halfy is a liberal
* Doing illegal drugs in public
* Hanging out on the street because he has no job
* Has been arrested for illegal activity
* Looking for a prostitute
* Makes no sense when he speaks
* Cares nothing of his personal appearance or hygiene
* Obviously has half a brain

Jon Corzine – Democrat Nobleman
CEO of MF Global from March 2010 to November 4, 2011. One of the 10 biggest bankruptcies in U.S,. History. It took him about 17 months to run a billion dollar firm into the ground. I could pick out a tea partier from a teat Party Organization at random & get better results.
Sarah Palin could have ran MF Global better than Jon Corzine.
Corzine is just one of many Democrat head cases.
