@NannyState Only if you like having an 87 year old woman as your roommate. As per the Daily News: "He was all I had," added his grandmother, Corrine Brandt, 87, at the Williamsburg apartment she shared with him. "

As a tragically ironic sidenote, the deceased's apartment will soon be available...on Craigslist.

Rule #1. Always meet in a public place with lots of people when meeting someone online.

craigslist is mostly bad news. I'd rather throw my stuff in the East river than to deal with that list. thankfully Pb is still available. the victim was black, this was on the late news.

oh my god this is awful. but why meet a total stranger at an apartment? it's not worth it people! why not meet at a public place first. getting fatally wounded can always come later!

Is it safe to assume that what we have here is a white dude with jungle fever - and not too much common sense...?
