LEXINGTON, S.C. (AP) -- A man fatally shot his friend with a high-powered rifle in a dispute over a $20 bet on the South Carolina-Clemson football game, authorities said Sunday.
James Walter Quick, 42, was charged with murder in the shooting of Richard Allen Johnson, 43. Johnson died from a single shot to the chest, according to a preliminary autopsy Sunday.
The two had bet $20 on the annual game, with Quick taking South Carolina, which won 31-28, and Johnson taking Clemson, Lexington County Sheriff James Metts said. They drank beer all afternoon and watched the game Saturday at Johnson's home, and began arguing about the bet after the game.
Metts said Quick went to his car, got the rifle he normally uses for hunting and fired one shot, hitting Johnson in the chest. Deputies arrested Quick.
Quick was being held Sunday in the Lexington County jail, awaiting a bail hearing. The sheriff's department said he did not yet have a lawyer.
none of this would have happened if there was a playoff system

Good god. It's not even like the guy acted on impulse. He actually had to go out to his car to get his gun. I hope this dude frys.
Because the benefit to you is so much greater if he frys than if he gets life in prison.
The guy deserves to die, period.
But if those that kill are worthy of death, then the executioner would deserve to die. And then who would kill the people that you deem unworthy of life?

Two guys convicted of murder flip the switches at the same time.
Done.

You Canadians are fucking wacky.
We're not even allowed to kill the killers... I was suggesting it to you folks down south.
