I couldn’t understand this at first: I thought it said the death was the result of a fight over the telephone, not over “a” telephone. It looked like one of those bizarre new PC laws we see show up spottily all over the West, where lawsuits are flyin’ and the long arm of hate crime legislation is applied willynilly to anything and everything, mostly involving the new “protected class”, Muslims.
Must have been arguing about the 3G coverage between Verizon and AT&T.
