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.

^^^^ I must agree living in OHio I have definitely seen it all. I've heard of people getting shot over dollas.... I wonder what things are gonna be like for my children and my grandchildren.
Im from Columbus and I know what you mean, Sh*t is getting even more ridiculous everyday.
I stay in Cincinnati and Yeah I stopped even going outside about a year ago... When this little 7 year old girl got shot a few blocks down from my house. I go to school outside of Cincinnati.... but when I come home for the weekends I go to work then come back in the house..... I go to church then back in the house..... I still go to the clubs (I have to get out sometimes) then I come right back in the house. It's a shame though I feel like a prisoner sometimes. But I just find other things to do with my time like get on the computer and read books..... But it's cool..... these people are very interesting on here.
