So here's a great story to come across on Christmas Eve. Back in July, 21-year-old Ronald Jones allegedly ruined his life by getting so enraged over a pickup basketball game that he ended up killing 18-year-old Vicdarrius Pollard over it. The fatal encounter followed a heated argument over a disputed foul call at a Memphis-based L.A. Fitness. Witnesses say that Jones initially walked out of the gym before returning with a handgun and firing multiple shots at Pollard. He was officially indicted this week on first-degree murder charges.

According to the DA's office the two did not know each other. Which, if nothing else, should give you pause before quarreling over a hack, or travel, or whatever, no matter how blatant, since you never know the mental state of the dude you're going up against.
