The Last Beer

[Senseless Acts of Violence] Given the deadly outcome of this fight--the homicide victim's family members are saying it was sparked by an altercation over two stolen cases of beer--I couldn't help but recall something a Minneapolis police lieutenant said to me during an interview 18 years ago:

"People will kill each other over who took the last beer in the fridge. I wish I had a dollar for every call I've been on that started with a fight over the last beer. I'd be rich." (Holly Mullen)
