He's running away from the fact that he ran away and left her behind to deal with the gang.
"...there used to be a great ginmill across from the Times called Gough's."
I've been there, I used to work on that block.
There are things I dislike about the Times. But I don't mind when they give details about the suspect, like the fact he was weeping. I didn't feel sympathy for him when I read that -- I was glad that he was (maybe) realizing the seriousness of what he had done.
Overall, I think this is a good article -- it leaves a few questions unanswered, which is only natural, but it gives a lot of information.

I get the NYPost home delivered daily.
There's something called "street smarts"....you either have it or you don't..if you don't have it..you have NO business wandering around a deserted part of lower Manhattan, inebriated, at 3 am in the morning..
They do love their bad guys at the Times, but they have more empathy than usual for this victim. She was liberal, not terribly bright (I know, I repeat myself), and fancied herself a sensitive astiste; they could identify with her. That's where their conflict is.

Yeah hehe...who encouraged him to turn himself in.
Is this the guy who stole your car?

Why doesn't someone ever asked the obvious question about these released thugs from jail or parolees who commit crimes - WHO THE HECK LET THIS GUY OUT? WHICH JUDGE DID THIS?
Why aren't these Parole Boards or Judges ever held accountable for releasing these thugs? It seems like every major crime is committed by a REPEAT OFFENDER that was released early.
Makes me puke.
Hopefully, he travels through AZ. We don't take kindly to robberies or murders.
Works for me.
Yes,have it here before me now. :-)
Real New Yorkers ( those born and raised there) have "street smarts"; those who move there have to learn them and that goes for people who come in from the Island and Jersey,and Conn. for a day/evening too.
It's beginning to look like Dinkins time again in the City.
