Vigilant101 is right, I've seen fights break out over a Ipod, a guy/girl, and a simple bumper damage call.

That's just about as idiotic as they come. Unless his mental faculties are compromised he deserves everything he gets, which should be punishment to the fullest extent of the law.

I have to agree with what DDemlong said. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking when they do stupid stuff like this.

People, what the hell? Flat screen TVs or damn PS3s, what the hell is wrong with people? It's just stuff people, crap you'll probably never need anyway or care less about a few months away unless you're serious about the stuff. I remember hearing about someone that got shot in the head for a PS3 when they came out, if you are that desperatre you aren't a serious gamer in the first place, just an opportunist for a crack hit In my opinion. Like this person had to lose their life so someone could get a hit off something. I understand you LEOs even more now, bless you all.
