The same person gets murdered over and over again. Every 19 year old hoodlum who gets gunned down over petty beef was "an aspiring rapper and basketball player who enjoyed video games."

Why such a lack of originality in hoodlum murder victims? Aren't there any "fervent Nietzscheans who despised video games and committed crime for evil's sake"? Or "guerilla ontologists who sold drugs for both fun and profit"? Why such unoriginal specimens?

However, yesterday at Grand Central I saw an inspiring sight: 5 or 6 thuggish-looking black men in baggy pants and du-rags playing the most beautiful chamber music I have ever heard on violins and cellos.

Hopefully they will never be victims.
