Guy kills his landlord over air conditioning

[Wheezer]

Simon Silva, a 66 year-old Miami resident, lived and worked on the property of his unnamed boss and de facto landlord until he was fired earlier this week. Silva began making arrangements to move out, but the landlord seemingly grew impatient yesterday and disconnected the air condition during a 90+ degree Miami day. Silva got angry, which is understandable given the weather, and the two got in a heated dispute over the hot situation, according to police documents.

What isn't understandable is why Silva pulled out a gun and shot the man and another unidentified victim. The other victim was not involved in the argument. The landlord later died of his injuries at Jackson Memorial Hospital. The second victim is currently in the hospital in stable condition.

Silva later confessed to the police. He's being charged with 2nd degree murder and attempted murder.

guess he lost his cool.

Yeesh, it was only in the 90s. I didn't turn my AC on until it started hitting 100s consistently outside.

Cinderblocks are cold to the touch.

 

[Gothgar]

why would he get so hot over that?

 

[BoomerD]

I hope it's cooler in the cooler.

 

[biggestmuff]

What a hot-headed prick. He'll have plenty of time to cool off now.

Damn, I'm too slow to reply.

While it's not good to murder over heat, I can understand it. I truly get homicidally angry once the temp rises above 80 if I can't get cool.

90s in Florida are very different from 90s in the desert. It's like the difference holding your hand above boiling water and and a hot pan.

He got caught up in the heat of the moment.

 

[RoloMather]

He must have been hot headed.

 

[SneakyStuff]

CHIILLLLL!

 

[AstroManLuca]

Sounds like that guy's temper really boiled over.

 

[RoloMather]

He must have been burning with rage.

^^ because someone beat me to the hot headed one.

I guess the refrigerant in his system failed to evaporate when it reached the evaporation chamber.


I suck at metaphors.

This murder was clearly a conditioned response.

I wonder if mice came out of the AC after it got turned off.

I'm routinely outside running in 100+ degree temps. Humidity makes it much worse, no doubt there. But once the temps get over 110, humidity is irrelevant, the heat will bring even the strong inside.

He needed to chill... then he needed to kill!

 

[wiredspider]

Now he has a place to live (jail).

Guess he never heard the saying cooler heads prevail
