A man who apparently was upset after finding a soda can in his room allegedly used a sword to cut two of his roommates.

Michael Angel Zamago was jailed on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon related to family violence. Bail was $25,000.

A police report indicates Zamago was upset to find a soda can in his room, thinking someone entered without permission. Zamago allegedly used the sword to poke holes in a closed door to a room where the pair fled.

One roommate has a cut under his right arm pit. The other suffered a cut in the shoulder area.

A jailer who declined to provide his name said there was no record of an attorney for Mr. Zamago.

If you've ever had to share a room or office space with someone, you probably can relate to "going postal" when you feel like your space has been invaded and you have no privacy. Of course, there are ways to handle it other than hacking at your roommates with a sword like some ill-tempered DandD barbarian.

Unfortunately, Mr. Zamago somehow lost his sense of reason (or patience) and snapped. Seeing that we don't know the full situation, like if he repeatedly stated to his roomies not to lounge about in his space and leave their trash behind, some allowance for his ire may be allowed. For all we know, Mr. Zamago could have reached his boiling point, and asking them, yet again, to stay clear of his area was no longer an option for him.

It helps in situations where a room is being shared, to know your boundaries and respect the other person's as well. Many ugly situations can be avoided by practicing simple courtesy or taking other people's wishes into consideration. Everyone needs their own space and a sense of freedom or self-rule. When that gets violated, it can often lead to rage, which begets violence.
