Psssst: Unless you're a hobo or a professional stunt man with acquired talents in the arts of hopping on and off of moving trains, you might want to come up with a different getaway plan the next time you knock over a gas station or rob a pedestrian. And with today's moral in mind, I bring you this rather disgusting story from the Big Apple (link to The Post's full story at bottom):New York City cops says local man Bryan Freeley (not clear if he's any relation to fellow New Yorker, Ace) brandished a knife on a street in lower Manhattan yesterday and mugged a 32-year-old victim for 150 bucks. So as for Part I of Freeley's master plan: Success. But that's when things went terribly awry, you might say.
Freeley apparently had forgotten to develop a Part II to said plan (i.e. his escape) or the Part II he had in mind was awfully ill-conceived (which I believe would officially make it a "half-baked plan," no?). Freeley reportedly took off on a "fatal dash" (that's certainly one way of putting it) down into the NYC subway system, where he tried to leap aboard a speeding subway train.
Apparently lacking the skills and expertise of a veteran tramp or stunt man (to which I alluded at the top), Freeley fell between two cars of the train and was swept underneath. Yep, he's dead alright. And if he had just been a bit more patient and waited for the next train -- he had more than enough dough on him to afford a token.
