The Winner Brought a Knife To the Fistfight

In Schaumburg, IL, a Chicago suburb, two Usual Suspects engaged in what amounted to a duel, with the winner stabbing the loser to death.

The father of the dead combatant seems less concerned with his son's death than with the niceties not being observed, i.e., his son wasn't also armed with a knife.

It's very important in a duel to fix the terms beforehand, so both sides are sastified with the results of the duel. If you're willing for your son to be beaten to death with fists but not stabbed, you ensure that the duellists are not armed prior to starting the proceedings.

It's difficult to have any empathy for anyone involved in this stupidity.
