Seminole County deputies said Jake Bilotta, 22, and his roommate, 21-year-old Ian McClurg, enticed the victim to the Maitland home Monday under the pretext of going to a party, but instead stabbed him multiple times with a 7-inch chef’s knife, the Orlando Sentinel reported... Authorities said the victim, who has yet to be positively identified, was evicted several weeks earlier, FOX35 Orlando reported. Bilotta and McClurg believed the man later broke into their home and stole a PlayStation 4 console, authorities said. While Bilotta and McClurg were stuffing the victim’s body into a bag, their new roommate, Walter Johnson, was just arriving home from a Tinder date, the Sentinel reported. Johnson, who had been living in the home for about a week, walked outside and called police. eputies arrived to find McClurg barricaded in a bathroom, while Bilotta attempted to escape, FOX35 reported. Bilotta was later caught and both men were charged with first-degree murder.

"The new roommate should count himself lucky."

Yep - he has the place all too himself now. It will be a selling point for his Tinder dates.

Not sure why they made a point of mentioning the Tinder “date”.

My former roommate, Vice President of College Democrats, stole a couple of things when I kicked him out.

I was just glad to be rid of him.

I had to look up Tinder and read this ... "Tinder is more than a dating app. It's a cultural movement."
Great, another Millennial, self serving, meaningless, psycho-babble "movement."

It’s essentially a digital Want ads for sex, or so I’m told.

Oh, it won’t be a war that matters. It will be fought over possession of Play Stations and cell phones. We will issue weapons to both sides.

“. . . just arriving home from a Tinder date . . .
That whole generation needs to be sent off to war.”

Or at the very least 6 weeks of intense boot camp...without any social media. I wonder if that would wake up these self-absorbed, entitled mental cases?

Murder over a stolen Playstation. - Shakes head -

I’m really getting old

You are.

Young adults today don’t meet at the sock hop over sodas and milkshakes. They meet on the internet.

Tinder really had nothing to do with the story. Not sure why it was even mentioned.
