Boy, 15, Dies in Dispute Over an iPod NEW YORK (July 3) - Two teenagers were under arrest Sunday on suspicion of killing another teen for his iPod portable music player, police said. The boys were facing charges of murder, robbery and weapons possession in the death of 15-year-old Christopher Rose, police said. Rose and three friends were accosted by a group of young men Saturday evening in Brooklyn, police said. Members of the group demanded Rose's iPod and **** him twice in the chest when he resisted. The group fled, taking Rose's iPod and a backpack, police said. Rose's relatives spoke to a The New York Times at a family gathering Saturday night. "My cousin today got murdered over some stupid iPod." -Koreena Glanville, quoted in The New York Times "My cousin today got murdered over some stupid iPod," Koreena Glanville, 21, told The Times. "We sent him to school in Pennsylvania so he wouldn't get involved in this," his father, Errol Rose, told the newspaper. Police also have reported a wave of iPod robberies on city subways, saying in April that 50 iPods had been stolen this year, compared to none over the same period last year. Authorities believe that most robbers kept the devices, which can retail for about $100 to $500, for personal use rather than selling them.

That's EXACTLY what I'm sayin. What's real jacked up is that these are young cats. They actually think there gettin money because they STEAL then SELL some 200 buck iPod, THEN probaly buy some junk with that money anyway. I feel bad for that family. I mean, this is what the value of life has been reduced to: AN iPod.....
