Julio Diaz has a daily routine. Every night, the 31-year-old social worker ends his hour-long subway commute to the Bronx one stop early, just so he can eat at his favorite diner.
But one night last month, as Diaz stepped off the No. 6 train and onto a nearly empty platform, his evening took an unexpected turn.
He was walking toward the stairs when a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife........

I'm just a tiny, eensy weensy bit skeptical. Didn't they pull a Pulitzer Prize from a reporter in Boston (or was it D.C.?) who was finding stories like this?
Over the years, I think I've heard this story or variations on it from people 'giving their testimony' more than a dozen times.
Ever read "The Cross and the Switchblade"?
It also has a "Hillary goes to Bosnia" ring to it.

Variations on the theme, wot?;-) 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

I would like to believe it, but the ending to this story should have been

Ma...
Does anybody depart from existence after living happily ever after?
