Mad World

Specifics aren't spelled out, but the belief that people are entitled to the public parking spot in front of their house is pretty widespread...

Testa's neighbor and his neighbor's brother-in-law Santo Mancuso, 52, were brawling with Testa's nephew James, 43, - bad blood that began a decade ago over parking spaces and that boiled into mutual contempt.

Mancuso, who had served time for murder, pulled a knife. Testa, 77, a retired hospital security guard - and a well-liked man, his neighbors said - stepped between the men.

But he quickly stumbled back inside and collapsed to the floor.
