A Florida woman is hospitalized and in a coma after she was allegedly attacked on Valentine's Day by a roommate she had found on Craigslist.

Byron Mitchell, 35, is being held at Metro West Detention Center in Miami on attempted murder charges for his alleged attack on Danielle Jones, 23. Mitchell has entered a written not guilty plea, according to the Associated Press.

Mitchell claims he acted in self-defense after Jones came at him with knife, according to the Miami police report. Jones suffered numerous slashes and bruises in the incident.

Did she suffer from the Noble Savage Delusion?

[Lonely Bull]

Well, something is certainly wrong here. Why would any woman accept any man as a "roommate"?

Now she's another victim of male-on-female crime. When will we ever learn?

[Cyman]

Is this woman Jody Arias’ sister? Or just dumber than a bag of hammers? Has to be one of the two.

and, going outside of her own culture group to get a roommate....

stooopid cow

[Las Vegas Ron]

obviously doesn’t know how to pick associates or friends.

And that is the entire problem, not Craigslist.

[sparklite2]

Never heard of her.

Can’t fix stupid.

While she is undoubtedly naïve, I think it is equally clear that young people are so far behind economically than a few decades ago (in terms of standard of living) that many are reduced to rooming with complete strangers. Enough friends described problems in dorms in our college days to convince me I’d rather live alone under a bridge than share an apartment with an unrelated person.

Lets try this again..

Craigslist for a roomie..Shes an idiot!!!

[Mears]

She chose HIM for a roommate?

She would have been better off renting a room at the YWCA.

This is why you never ever use the internet to date or hook up with someone.

[sparklite2]

Well, I wouldn’t say that. I’ve had some decent experiences with that. And kids nowadays hook up over all kinds of media. Not saying it’s wise, just saying it is normal to them.

[SkyDancer]

I probably should have said to do it with friends in that if you want to meet me you’ll do it with my friends around; would never ever meet on a one-on-one basis alone. I’ve met with some FRiends I’ve only chatted here in a group and it was great fun.

[353FMG]

Isn’t it considered very “normal” these days?

[Tax-chick]

I have met FRiends in real life, too. Everything from dinner out with a group to a week’s stay with my family. No bad experiences so far.

In the latter case, other FRiends had met the person in her locale and gave positive reports.

Not exactly “Jack Tripper” is he?

[SkyDancer]

Yeah, same here. The guys were great.
