I hate midtown this time of year - but this sounds awful

This is not meant to be funny or to take anything away from this tragedy, but my first thought went to
" I wonder if it was a disgruntled RCI/II member ?".

It was this afternoon, around 2 I think. I kept reading and wondering "how are they intimidating people with CDs?"

There are young men with stacks of CDs roaming in Times Sq or on 5th Avenue, that they claim to have recorded and they ask you to take one and give a listen --spread the word to help them become famous...
Then sometimes they ask for your name, and autograph it whether personalized to you or not -- -- and then demand $$$ from you since it now has your name on it or they autogrpahed it for you...
When you are surrounded by 5 or 6 demanding money it can be intimidating...

I know, the reading did not make much sense but this is the deal.
