100 Days on the A Train: DAY 2

DAY 2

At around 7:30AM, a 60-something homeless man came aboard the uptown A. He was only about a category one FOP, thankfully. However, for at least 15 minutes this guy went on a tirade as screamed at the top of his lungs, "You fucking bitch! I killed you! I saw your dead body and I laughed. I murdered you! [hideous laugh]. You are dead and I'm happy!" etc., etc., etc.
