...But the seemingly petty back-and-forth escalated Friday, ending with a fatal bullet in BP station owner Jawad Bazzi's head over what police say was a 3-cent difference in the cost of regular gas....

What a messed up situation.

Btw, did you catch the last sentence in the article?

"After the shooting, with the competing station closed, BP's price per gallon increased to $3.09 for regular."

this has got to be the most ridiculous thing ever imaginable...shooting someone over 3 measley pennies...how retarded...bazarre...it makes one wonder what our world has come to...and causes one to be slightly fearful of even smiling or frowning at another person...(exaggerated example here)...

these people need to get their rectal cranium inversions taken care of...and find other options for dealing with their frustrations of life...and if that was the only frustration of the shooter's life...he doesn't know just how lucky he was...

and it wasn't necessarily the gas station owner's fault that the prices were what they were...i know that it is extremely frustrating for the prices to be what they are...for the yoyoing they do on an almost hourly basis...

but,

DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER!!! FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!


sad...sad...sad...
