As a person with a family and kids, I can't imagine renting out a room to a single guy. I just wouldn't feel safe. This makes me certain I'm right. I know they knew the guy's family back home, and he had mental issues. I feel terrible for this family, they should have never trusted that man in their home.

Sadly no justice will be served, as the killer will probably just be deported back to Sri Lanka and be set free

Gtfo. All men are bad because this one was a psycho? How do you function on a day to day basis with that logic?

If you let a strange man live among your children, you're taking a risk. How is that a controversial comment?

Yes you’re taking a risk. But you’re also taking a risk when stepping outside. Do you fly or drive? Hell, most accidents happen in the bathroom. Do you shower? How is it not insane to write off 4 billion people because of this one person?

You're comparing a pedestrian accident to allowing a psychotic stranger to live among your children. Any argument you had is dead.

And you’re saying all single men can’t be trusted because a few have mental health issues. Would you not do a background check before renting? How do you not see how insane that is?

Do men in relationships not have mental health issues? Are they not violent too? I cant tell if your issue is his relationship status or his gender but both arguments are stupid af. If you had said “don’t rent to anyone without doing proper and thorough checks first,” that’d make sense. But you didn’t. You specified, “single men”

Anyways, I don't give a shit about you or any potential offspring of yours. Neither do you clearly. Rent out their bedrooms to mentally ill single men all you want.

No I don’t think I will. Thatd be too risky
