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.

Walks in on his new roommates stuffing their old roommate's corpse into a garbage bag... begins backing out slowly...

"Hey! Where are you going? How'd the Tinder date go?"

You want them defending you?

These same people existed in the 70’s and 80’s. We just didn’t have the internet

I can imagine years from now someone sitting in a bar and saying "I once had this roommate who clipped his nails right in the living room. It was disgusting!" And Walter Johnson says "I have a roomate story too...."

He wins.

Totally justified. All of my game progress is stored on the PlayStation, and I’m not giving up my level 42 armor and weapons for anybody.
