Sad Part 2

A few weeks ago an elderly woman was murdered for $4 used to buy drugs. Saturday, a man may have been killed over a $5 parking fee used to raise funds for a summer sports program.

Robert Abrams, who would have turned 41 today, died at 1:40 a.m. Saturday at Akron City Hospital, where he was taken after he hit the ground during the fight Friday night by the fields at Springfield High School on Sanitarium Road in Lakemore.[...]

Abrams was working the concession stand, [Lakemore Police Chief Kenny] Ray said, when the dispute about the parking escalated and a decision was made to refund the $5 fee. Sometime after that, however, the fight broke out in front of the concession stand, Ray said.

All over $5...

Our thoughts go out to the Abrams family.
