Father was going to inspect the house, an SRO
A tenant was renting one of the rooms
Another tenant was complaining that this one tenant was eating the food
The tenant was living there for years, he was a postal worker in his early thirties
Every morning he would leave with the lunchbox
And everyone assumed he was packing the list to go to work
So the father decided to solve the problem
Was to move the tenant to another bigger, better room
Then opened up, the tenant was 6'4", close to 300 pounds
Father scheduled an appointment to show the tenant the other room
Father and son drove to the house, pulled into the driveway
Which wasn't going to take long, so son stayed in the car
Father went inside to show tenant the room
Father went to ski and hand to show tenant the room
Tenant was behind father holding his lunchbox
Tenant was silent, kept to himself
Father unlocked the door when tenant put his hand on the knob
Father noticed his hand shaking a slight tremor
Father showed him around the room, no remote on the TV
Father turned his back to turn it on
The tenant hit him in the head
Father fell backwards, at which point the tenant climbed on top of him like an anchor
Started choking father like he had experience with murder many times before
Tenant, while choking father, raced into his lunchbox
Then quickly, calmly pulled out a roll of duct tape
Father trying to push him off
In his only defense, father could only reach for him
So he used his teeth to bite a chunk out of tenant's chest
Tasting blood and meat, but tenant didn't even flinch
Tenant continued choking father and in one smooth motion
Quickly wrapped the duct tape around the head
Starting at the top around father's nose
Father remembered self defense
And placed a hand next to his face
To create an air pocket as tenant began to wrap the tape around his hand
Father in a split second remembered he had a gun on his waist
And in his free hand, he went to reach for the gun
And managed to maneuver the gun
Pulled the gun out, licked off one step

Tenant didn't even flinch
Father fired in the air
Tenant didn't even care
Son dialed 911
After he heard the firing of the gun
Son thought he heard the operator say go to the house
So son he runs to see the tenant suffocating his dad
And screams get off my dad
Jumped on tenant's back
Put him in the chokehold
And held him while his dad ripped off the tape
Ran into the kitchen and grabbed the knife
Ran back and stabbed the tenant in the chest
While son had him in the chokehold
Tenant died before police arrived
No charges in the tenant's room, but he was still alive
Police went inside, they found formaldehyde
And rolls of duct tape and other illicit paraphernalia
That's why he stole the food
There was duct tape in the lunchbox
This happened to the husband of my girlfriend's mother
The score is one
Father, son, tenant, none
The craziest thing was watching the news and the news reports after it happened
Because they interviewed this woman
All of her teeth were missing
This woman was a crackhead
She never even lived in the neighborhood
She just happened to be walking by
And there was a whole interview with her
Talking about how
The
Tenant
After he was stabbed to death
Ran outside with duct tape
Covering his whole face
And no one ever caught the discrepancy
And it was broadcast
In several news reports
That the tenant was dead
That a dead man had run outside
After being attacked by the landlord
