Synopsis

The following pieces address a range of contemporary issues. First, a report details the August 2006 shooting in Miller Place, a suburb on Long Island, New York City. The incident stemmed from a misunderstanding between a white teenager and a black classmate, and subsequently resulted in the death of the teenager. The father of the deceased student was later charged with the killing. Also included is a segment by John Stossel exploring the often-conflicting rights of smokers and non-smokers.
