So I naturally assumed this was a teenager.
Thomas Humphrey, 47, was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and arson in the November death of Linda Tufts, 70, inside their Goffstown home.
Oh. Well, surely he's not a stereotype....
...Humphrey, who lived in the basement, ...
I mean, there's nothing wrong with that (and in this economy, totally understandable), but geez, try not to tick all the boxes.
Don't worry, he's moving out of the basement now 👍
Probably not where he was planning on going in the long run, but hey, I'm sure the other inmates will enjoy his company...
Edit: Oh shit, reading further into the article, dude lit his mother's body on fire after stabbing her? What the actual fuck? Yeah, he ain't gonna last long in prison..
He lit her on fire, and then stabbed himself.
Plus the playstation was his birthday gift.
He'd have to be playing it really loudly to start an argument if he wasn't living at home.
Or for a 70-year old to think it's too loud.
And in the basement! How hard is it to get some cheap headphones so you can listen as loud as you want?
Not saying it excuses the crime but it sounds like someone with mental issues.
My guess is he'll get all the mental health treatment where he's bound /s
Wish the article explained more of what happened
Well, he stabbed his mother to death, burned her body and (seemingly) tried to commit suicide.
I think it’s not that far fetched to assume he has mental issues.
Makes me sorta curious just what video game he was playing. Not like it really matters, there's absolutely no excuse, but seriously where the fuck was his mind at to do such a terrible thing, to his own mother no less?
5 bucks on counter strike. Another 5 on league of legends.
No fortnight?
Article said man, not teen
I like where you place your bets. I'm inclined to agree, either those or Rainbow Six. Maybe WoW
I can only imagine it being Little Big Planet
So which position in Trump's cabinet is this guy up for?
I mean, if you're gonna commit matricide, the volume of your video game is probably about as reasonable as you're capable of being.
Edit:
The prosecutor said the two had recently argued about how loud he was playing video games on the PlayStation she had just given him for his birthday, WMUR-TV reported.
Oh, fucking hell… she'd just gifted it to him and then this happens. Lesson learned: never buy gifts for your kids.
Also he was 47 💀
There'll be no tendies where he is going.
I have some 2nd cousins that failed to launch. Always terrified me that I could be the same and would have to live with that shame.
Got a 40ish y/o first cousin that's never had a job. Gonna be very interesting when her parents pass.
