Cops: Man dies after armless artist’s head-butt
Pair reportedly fought over woman in suburban Atlanta driveway

(AP) SNELLVILLE, Ga. - Police are investigating the death of a man who collapsed after he was head-butted by an armless man in a fight over a woman. Snellville Police Chief Roy Whitehead said the two men, Charles Keith Teer and William Russell Redfern, scuffled Monday afternoon in the driveway of a suburban Atlanta home.

Full story

I researched it a bit, and in other reports it sounds like the guy had a heart attack after the beating.

"There was no significant trauma which caused his death. He died of natural causes."

No charges against Rusty have been filed.

Hmm... Regardless. What is worth fighting for?

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
