I’m lucky; in the five years I had roommates while in college, we never got into any serious disagreements. Roommates of Michael Angel Zamago are not so lucky. Following a disagreement over an empty soda can and accusations that Zamago’s room was broken into, two men ended up in the hospital with stab wounds. Allegedly, Zamago flipped out and went after his flatmates with a sword! Bond is set at $25,000, which is a small price to pay for defending the sanctity of your bedroom from offensive soda drinkers.
Neither man was seriously injured, which is amazing considering their roommate made like Jack Nicholson in The Shining and hacked through a door to get after them. At least it was a cool way to be attacked; it’s not as embarrassing to admit you got stabbed as it would be to explain away hedgehog scars. I have to wonder; were the roommates responsible for the tell-tale litter, or did Zamago just forget he left behind his can of Dr. Pepper?
