I ask similar questions when I watch Judge Judy and see the astonishing choices some white girls make romance-wise. “Is that the best you could do?”

Other articles suggest of speculate that they were more than roommates.

Meanwhile, she probably rejected lots of upstanding men because they weren't "exciting". So she chooses a thug who almost beats her to death.

Well, snowflake, was it exciting enough for you?

I fully expect to see an episode of “Law and Order” based on this incident, but with a narrative in which the races of the principals are reversed.

My first reaction was to be angry and take it out on the guy, feel extreme sorrow for the woman.

But then what do I know?

[Tax-chick]

“Roommate,” right.

(see tagline)

Her judgment is questionable at best. Just saying!

That's clearly apparent. My problem is the sensational headline that tries to blame craigslist for this. People ran "roommate wanted" ads and then picked bad ones long before craigslist was in the picture.

You’re a terrible cynic. I like that.

[Obadiah]

And there is no doubt in my mind that’s what this is about. A naive liberal female who, like so many other feel-good liberals, have really bought into this idea that they just need to be tolerant, they just need to overcome their prejudice, they need to be penitent for their white privilege. These people really and truly have bought into this hokum and they will continue to pay a very heavy personal price for believing these lies.

An old joke ...

Police arrive on the scene of a woman’s brutal beating. She has teeth knocked out, ribs broken, and a battered face.

One detective turns to another and says,
“I wonder what she said to deserve that.”

[dfwgator]

Part of me thinks there’s a lot more to this story than meets the eye.

[Company Man]

There is a picture of her following emergency surgery. You cannot tell it's the same person.

[PTBAA]

She probably had the inner alarm bells going off but didn’t want to appear racist and offend him by saying no.

Oh I agree with you. It is not he fault of Craigslist. However, it is also common knowledge that a lot of bad “meet ups” occur via Craigslist.

[neverbluffer]

I think you are probably more correct than not!

[Drew68]

However, it is also common knowledge that a lot of bad "meet ups" occur via Craigslist.

Craigslist destroyed classified ad revenue. As such, the media loves "Craigslist meet-up gone bad" stories.

When there was no internet people found roommates with newspaper ads and the telephone. No one ever called them newspaper roommates or telephone roommates.
No one ever blamed the means of communication for their poor judgment.
