Guest aramik Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Come on now what is this world comming to......?? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: Man Accused of Killing Roommate Over Toilet Paper MOSS BLUFF, Fla. (Feb. 21) - A man accused of fatally beating his roommate with a sledgehammer and a claw hammer because there was no toilet paper in their home has been arrested. Franklin Paul Crow, 56, was charged Monday with homicide in the death of Kenneth Matthews, 58, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office. Capt. Thomas Bibb said Crow initially denied his involvement, but confessed during questioning. Crow told investigators that the men were fighting about the toilet paper over the weekend when Matthews pulled out a rifle. Crow said he then began beating Matthews with the sledgehammer and claw hammer, according to an affidavit. Matthews was beaten so badly he had to be identified through his fingerprints, detectives said. Crow was being held at the Marion County jail without bond. It was not immediately known whether he had an attorney. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you think about this? I pretty much think this is crazy stuff to be honest. Source: [url]http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles...21062009990012[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visualkei Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 That is crazy. I'm thinking they were probably at each other's throats for a long time, and instead of moving out or getting new roomies, killed each other instead.. Roomates. Ugh. Your link isn't working for me, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunfallE Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 [COLOR=RoyalBlue]Probably because the news isn't new and many sites take down the information after a few weeks. This link should work though. [URL=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11471503/]Click![/URL] As for what I think about it. I would imagine that the two of them had other issues that had absolutely nothing to do with whether or not there was toilet paper in the house. I would imagine that they hadn't been getting along or had some form of disagreement going on for quite a while. And as they often say, that one thing was just the trigger to set one of them off. It's pretty sad since if I disliked a roomie that much I would have moved out a long time ago. It's something I've done in the past when I have had roommates as it's just not worth the trouble to stick around. I'm sure the guy probably had other issues as well as a crime with that much anger behind it usually isn't just triggered by a small annoyance like being out of toilet paper.

Raiyuu Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 [font=trebuchet ms]There must have been other issues. Maybe the toilet paper was the straw that broke the camel's back, but there have to have been a lot of other little or large problems festering in the air between them, for rifles and hammers to have been involved. The news link isn't working for me, either.[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/SIZE][/quote] I'm betting it is most likely the most recent factor between the two, No sane person could do something like that over something as trivial as toilet paper.

Minako Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I mean, yeah, i have my issues with my roommate, but I wouldn't kill her over toilet paper. Jeez. I think that he was just about to smack him (I mean, yeah, who wouldn't want to smack somebody from time to time?), and he just snapped and couldn't stop. Sometimes the world scares me.

Ikillion Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 [color=#56995e][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]I can only laugh at this, then feel sorry a couple seconds after wards. I mean the guy must have had some kind of a horrible **** to go far enough to kill someone over toilet paper... Unless they used it for something else.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's rather norsemanish as well. Thor would definately aprove. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunfallE Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 [COLOR=RoyalBlue][quote name='LilyBebeboo']all i gotta say is, what are 2 50 somethings doing living together? "roommates", huh? riiiiight. im sure it was a lovers quarrel gone horribly wrong.[/quote] It may have been a case of lovers, but you?re forgetting something here. There are millions of older Americans who *gasp!* didn?t get married. And since tax breaks favor those who are married, tons of those single people will share a home to help with the cost of expenses. Or they rent out one of their rooms to help pay for the expenses. And there are plenty of people who get into fights and do horrible things who are not lovers. Just do a little research into the common causes of violent crimes and you?ll see that lots of them are between people who simply dislike each other. And many they don't even know the person, they just got in the way of what the other wanted. Another thing LilyBebeboo, you?ve already been warned about poor post quality.

mangamaniack21 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Whoa. I've never heard of people killing other people ove just toilet paper. That's ridicluous. i have heard of somone killing ove a video game but toilet paper? That can not be good. Soon it will probably get more and more ridiculous as people will start to kill over the simplist things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horendithas Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][quote name='aramik']Come on now what is this world comming to......??[/quote]It would be so easy to do a simple search on the web to find all sorts of crimes just like this one. Cases where it seems like people did things over the stupidest reasons. I would be very surprised if the guy flew into a rage over just a trivial thing like toilet paper. It would be interesting to see the psychological evaluation of this guy as I bet he is very messed up. Besides the news always tells it in a way to attract more readers and what could be more surprising than imaging someone willing to kill over toilet paper? The sad thing is his roommate may not have even realized that the other one had such issues, so being attacked may have come as a complete surprise, especially if the guy was the type to keep to himself. It?s pretty easy to do when you have roommates. With work and school it?s easy to go days and not even see the other person. Still to kill over something like that, sad.
