James Rogers, 66, allegedly killed Mark Iacono, 65, with his bare hands Thursday evening following a Bay Shore Alcoholic Anonymous meeting, Newsday reported.

...

Long Island investigators said the two men started arguing over money in the parking lot of the United Methodist Church just before 9 p.m., soon after the meeting ended.

Iacono landed face down, and Rogers allegedly grabbed his head and smashed his face into the ground multiple times, News12 Long Island reported.

After a witness pulled Rogers off Iacono, he continued to kick him.

Rogers allegedly grabbed Iacono and flung him to the ground.

I like how someone commented below the article:

“All because he gave up drinking. See, that’s why I’m having a beer right now .”

[Blood of Tyrants]

Now how is he going to pay you?

[billorites]

Looks like he’s a good enough sort of guy.

“My name is James, and I’m a murderer.”

[Round Earther]

Does he get a chip for that?

[PGR88]

Does he still get his pension in prison?

Gore Vidal wrote a book of essays published in 1968 called Sex, Death and Money.
He said the title was chosen because: “Sex, death and money are the essential interests of the naked ape”.

This story has 2 of the 3 factors.

There is nothing good that can be said here. There were two deaths in that parking lot, and the second corpse still acts alive.

[Qwapisking]

if the money was for sex it would have all three.

[Nervous Tick]

Alcohol was involved!

NFP & NGO’S are cutting back. Collateral Damage. It’s going on here in Memphis, too. Edmund Ford (yes, those Fords) just turned himself in to the feds on NGO scams fleecing the schools and city government. The Faegins firing was the beginning of the whole cabal of NGO’S and NFP’s run by political spouses, family members, allies, etc....were being cut off. The board responded by firing Faegins for her refusal to pay them.
