Something similar happened about 1/2 a mile from where I live. In the posh bit of Bournemouth. Think it was 4 kids from a council estate a couple of miles away beat a homeless guy to death because he wouldn't give them a cigarette.
some chap got knocked out for not having a ciggi the other day at the train staion in the afternoon...........i gave up 20 years ago, but i might just carry a pack just in case !.............erh sorry mate i don't smoke....ggrrrr arrrrgh kerpow !
