Statesville police have charged a 20-year-old man with murder following a fight over a cigarette. Princeton Keon Summers of Statesville was charged with second-degree murder Sunday, said Assistant Chief Tom Anderson.Michael Staunton, 46, of Statesville joined Summers about 5:30 p.m. last Wednesday as Summers was hanging out on a porch. Summers asked Staunton for a cigarette, and when Staunton said he didn't have one, Summers struck him, Anderson said. Staunton was knocked from the porch and hit his head on concrete.
He died from his injuries Saturday at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. Summers is being held in the Iredell County jail under a $250,000 secured bond. --

As odd as this is, dumb crap like this happens all the time.
Many Thanksgivings ago, there was a fight over which show to watch on TV, a thanksgiving Movie of a football game.
Dad, who lost the argument, got his gun and shot everyone

2nd degree murder charge is taking it a bit far.
$250,000 bail ? Over the top too.
I doubt if in England, after a full trial, that guy would be found guilty even of manslaughter.

very odd.the addition of alcohol/drugs been involved would make it less odd,like one of the two been on drugs or drunk.
I have read that a young girl in missuri has commited suicide because she was depressed and had low self esteem,so when some idiot started bulling her on myspace she took her life at the age of 13 I think.In the same article it said that america loses a life to suicide every 16 minutes!!!! how odd is that ?

You need to link up to Baton Rouge's news casts. That's so common that we're desentized to news like that. Even smaller items people are killed over. Oh my stars and don't get started with New Orleans.
