Two of the family-owned store’s attendants have been charged in the death: Nabil Sulaiman, 19 at the time of the incident, allegedly beat Oliver, 34, with a glass bottle. He was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. His elder brother, Ragheb Sulaiman, then 24, allegedly continued beating Oliver, using a crowbar. He was charged with second-degree murder and second-degree murder with a deadly weapon.
The events unfolded shortly before 5:45 p.m., according to a police arrest affidavit that includes some witnesses’ reports that Oliver, 34, was upset with the store owner because he thought the owner owed him money related to his purchase of a $5.79 pack of cigarettes. The dispute was over change that Oliver allegedly owed the store: seven cents.
Seven cents. That was how much a human life was worth that day. And the Murder weapon is a tool I keep in my tool box. Used several crowbars quite heavily doing demolition work around my house. They’re super useful in good hands, deadly in evil hands.
Now if somebody is willing to beat another person to death with a crowbar over seven cents, is there even a POINT in banning guns?
Certainly if somebody wants to attack me with a crowbar over something trivial, I hope I’ll have a gun on me.
