So this is a bit old, but just found it this morning. If you didn't already believe that we are careening downward as a society, this will probably do the job.

Fair use cited so on and so forth. Pic included to fend off GTR games and also because, wow, LOOK at the guy. If that's not a lights-are-on-but-nobody's-home pic I'm not sure what would qualify.

A Suspect Thought His Roommate Stole His Taco Bell Food. So, He Beat the Elderly Man to Death, Cops Claim.​


A Michigan man has been arrested after he allegedly beat his 72-year-old roommate to death during a dispute over Taco Bell, authorities said.


On Jan. 31, Mark Newsome, 54, and his elderly roommate, Dale Mitchell, got into an argument that turned physical in Roseville, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office.

WJBK-TV reported that food from Taco Bell sparked the dispute between the pair.


Mitchell died from injuries sustained when Newsome allegedly punched him in the head multiple times during the fight, authorities alleged.


Another of the pair's roommates at the boarding house, Larry Melton, told WJBK-TV, “There was blood all over upstairs.”


The station reported a fourth roommate, Bob McQuade, called the alleged altercation and it's aftermath "inconceivable."


“To think a fight over food would escalate into murder," McQuade said.

Newsome was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with the deadly incident.


He was booked into the Macomb County jail, where he was being held without bond.

Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
Autopsy should clear this up. Did he or did he not eat his Taco Bell. Sounds like a possible defense if it's possible to determine the innards were at one time such food....
