Meet Bloody Loco, one of the many colorful characters that make up this city. If you're lucky, maybe you'll run into him on the subway! Just make sure you recognize, ASAP, or else you'll become the co-star of both an improvisational piece of street theater, and a YouTube video. This all went down on the 7 train yesterday (Common Courtesy Day!). Some call it an epic intimidation fail...
But what was going on before someone hit "record"? Is Bloody Loco a library bounty hunter tracking down late fees? A down-on-his-luck Kindle salesman? You can't see it on camera, but our theory is that after the video ends, Loco starts screaming, "Print Is Dead!"
