15 year old stabbed to death for iPod

Whatever the street value of an iPod might be, it's certainly not worth someone's life.

U.S. Marshals said that Hugo Gonzalez, 17, and Brian Johnson, 18, were arrested in Las Cruces, New Mexico on Wednesday in the stabbing death of a 15 year old boy in El Paso after a robbery that went terribly wrong.

According to officials, the two teens stabbed the unidentified boy as they robbed him of a cell phone and an iPod three weeks ago.

Apple's popular music player has sold in the millions since its debut in October 2001.

After reading the article my heart and prayers go out to the family of the 15 year old boy and the families of the 2 misguided teens who will one day wake up in prison and ask themselves, "why did I do that, for what".

We as good ole Americans, need to play an active role in our youth lives whether they're family or not.

This is a sad testament to what we value in our country. Killing over a useless trinket.
