Foot Odor (And Booze) Blamed For Murder

(AP)  A 22-year-old man was charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of his roommate after an argument over the suspect's smelly feet, police in Texas said Monday.

William Antonio Serrano and his roommate were drinking Saturday night when the roommate told Serrano his feet had a foul odor, Houston police Sgt. Macario Sosa said. That insult allegedly led to Serrano grabbing a knife and stabbing his roommate several times, police said.

The victim, a 25- to 30-year-old man whose name has not been released, died at the scene.

Serrano was charged with murder and was being held Monday in jail. It was not clear if he had retained a lawyer.

Sosa said the two men shared a 10-foot-by-10-foot bedroom they subleased from a married couple, who also live in the apartment, the Houston Chronicle reported Monday.

The woman who lived in the apartment was outside with her newborn baby when she looked inside the window to see one of the men with two knives in his hands, Sosa said.

"By the time she got inside, he was on top of the other man," Sosa said.

When I was in college, it wasn''t the smell of out feet that we complained about.

I was stabbed 5 times in Casper, Wyoming for trying to help a single man being attacked by a gang. I sent two of these MO FO''s to the hospital. Of course I spent a week in the hospital. Didn''t have a gun. Dang! There is more to this story and some underlying issues exist. I''ll wait for more to come out.

I believe there is more to this story and this is just the tip of the iceberg a woman with a newborn just outside the door has me puzzled. One of those last straw deals.

He''ll probably have the cleanest jail cell in the prison.

Guns don''''t "protect"; they have only one purpose: to kill.
Whoever said, "the only good defense is a strong offense" was re-tarded. Obviously, it''''s much better to not have enemies, only friends. True strength comes from supporting and helping your friends, not from making enemies.

Tell you what!! give me a gun and see how many times I am stabbed to death. Friends are really great if they happen to be around when you need them. But most people will stand back and say "Whoa man, this ain''t my fight". Want to rely on them?

Your comment about weapons is about as useful as your suggestion to cure his stinky feet. Washing doesn''t kill fungus and feet that smelly are growing a fungus.
