Wow! and we thought getting barbeque chicken was about as mundane as ever - then along comes the knife-wielding Jack the Ripper of the upper east side - who didn't bother to conceal his weapons or himself before hacking away at a 67 year old regular.
I was walking past a newstand when I saw this article and immediately it looked like a yellow-journalism piece from the 1890's, or a scene-bit from a cliche'd Hollywood schlock horror film. I would say this is evidence that instead of entering the Age Beyond History as some intellectuals have suggested, we are instead going back to the age of bad old mistakes and horrors of a society not really managing itself. The Second Gilded Age is attended by many of the horrors and ills of the first.
