There was a stabbing murder a couple blocks away from my house Saturday night. Two roommates were fighting and one got so angry, he stabbed the other guy in the chest.
They've released the victims name, but not the murderer's. From word of mouth, we found out that the guy who did the stabbing was one of H's friends. You guys, this guy has been in my house. This is so unexpected. He's always been such a nice, sane guy. H is PISSED. He said his friend does have a temper and that eventually it was going to get out of hand.
I feel so bad for the victim's family. He was seriously one of the nicest guys I've ever met. I honestly cannot even picture him getting into a fight. H thinks he was probably provoked. I'm just so sad for him. He had just moved in with his 'friend' a couple weeks ago.
They have the guy in custody with open murder charges. He's going to be arraigned today. I'm just so glad they caught him.
If you ask H, he'll deny it. He's trying not to associate himself with this guy.
H knew him from a previous job. They mostly would just meet up for drinks with a few other guys. He's stopped over a few times to hang out. I don't think H has seen him since before Labor Day.
How utterly awful. I fully maintain that human beings are capable of anything, however things like this always surprise me.
I tend to always think the best about someone. When I heard about it, I kept telling H "there's no way it was him! He wouldn't do something like this!"
...then H smashed my bubble by telling me about his temper issues. I just never saw that side of him, I suppose. Still, it's hard to believe that this guy was capable of something like this.
