Steve Jobs Consoles Family of Boy Slain over iPod

"As Errol Rose made preparations on Monday to bury his 15-year-old son, Christopher, who was killed last week in Brooklyn during a fight over an iPod, he received a telephone call from a stranger. The man spoke in tones that the grieving father said had momentarily quieted his anguish. The stranger, Rose soon learned, was Steve Jobs, chief executive of Apple Computer, the company that makes the iPod."
This truly is a senseless tragedy. My heart goes out to the family of this boy whose only crime was having a small trinket that someone else was willing to kill for. I wouldn't be surprised if drugs are involved somehow. A lot of such thefts and robberies are committed so the perpetrators can then pawn the items and use the money to buy drugs.
