We Know You Already Know This, But Stay Inside A Subway Car When You’re On The Subway

Conversations with our publisher has lead us here at The Bronx Chronicle to make a little public service announcement in light of tragic recent events.  Earlier this week, a man died while “train surfing”, riding on the 6 train between Whitlock and Elder Avenue stations, when his head hit something.  Because that’s the sort of thing that happens when you climb on a train. “But no one I know is fill in the blank enough to do such a thing.”  Well, talk to our publisher, who is worried about teenagers and peer pressure, though the incident involved a man in his 40s.  And I realized, we all did fill in the blank things when we were young, things we would regret or say, how the heck could I do something so fill in the blank?  So if you know a great young man or young lady who is great but can be a “knucklehead” some times (we all are!), just mention about being safe and not doing something fill in the blank pranks and stunts, and a momentary laugh from a peer could lead to tragic lifelong ramifications.  (Note:  Moronic, idiotic, stupid….words I choose to use a little as possible.)
