Bagatelle (#89)

Shot:

The straphanger stabbed to death on a Brooklyn train was an ex-con who’d been harassing a couple on board – and punched the woman before her boyfriend knifed him in the chest, police sources said Wednesday.

Chaser:

It seemed to me that much of the etiquette I was learning had to do with never having to tell yourself, “I’m stupid and now I’m dying.”

    It’s NYC. The dead ex-con was probably on his way to City Hall to pick up his grift check. If the guy with the knife is a registered Democrat, he might escape prison.
