Now u can get murdered for ur iPod
« on: July 08, 2005, 09:10:27 AM »
Yuh know... I thought it was bad enough ppl got killed over and Xbox, and it was absolutely horrific that baby dying over WOW, but being killed over an iPod???  I mean COME ON PPL when is this MADNESS GOING TO END? I pick this out of an article about Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple) calling the parents of the deceased young boy who was killed because he wouldn't give up his iPod... sounds so reminescent of ppl being killed over shoes long ago... *sighs* heres the article:

Jobs calls murdered Apple boy’s parents

Incomprehensible

By Nick Farrell: Thursday 07 July 2005, 06:51
APPLE BOSS Steve Jobs rang up the family of Christopher Rose who was murdered for his iPod.

According to the New York Times, Jobs personally called the family of a 15-year-old New Yorker to offer his condolences after the teenager was killed last week during a fight over an iPod.

Jobs, hearing of the murder, got the phone number of the victim's father, Errol Rose and rang him up. Unfortunately it didn’t go quite the way he planned it. Rose apparently didn’t know who initially didn't know who Steve Jobs was when he called.

Jobs told Rose that he understood his pain and asked if there was anything he could do to help. Rose said the call really lightened him.

"Some people talk to you like they’re something remote," Rose told the New York Times.

Christopher Rose was killed Saturday in Brooklyn after Rose and three friends were confronted by a group of teenagers who demanded that Rose give them his iPod. Rose was stabbed twice in the chest after he said no.

Wow.... The thing that suprises me right now, is that I am no way shocked by something like this happening. It seems to be almost....normal now....

shit is like this in new york, if u have it, i'm gonna get it.i aint to sure about which part of new york dis happened, but where i lived this was somewhat of a usual thing. i hope the kid rest in peace but he should have known, flashing an expensice piece of shit like that around (maybe $300us), is bound to have your ass beat down and get your stuff stolen, i know it aint a good thing, but that's how brooklyn is.

yep, theft of iPods on the subway was an emerging problem in New York recently. In New York iPods are so ubiquitous it's amazing. I find the fact that Jobs called was pretty cool though. Not really surprising for Jobs, but still.

NY has enforced a NO TOLERANCE policy wrt crime on a whole. 3 violations and ur @$$ is grass. I would like to think that the perpertraitors will be brought to justice and publicly flogged, beaten and put on a wrack. What is this world coming to???? "can't we all just get along?"
