    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’d have to be playing it really loudly to start an argument if he wasn’t living at home.
