Don't eat the red snow

Eighty-six years ago this morning an employee of a Brooklyn lumber yard showed up for work and found a trail of blood. His curiosity piqued, he followed said trail which led to a pile of snow. Digging he found one James Tinorello who had been shot three times in the back of the head. Police said that Tinorello, who was 27 and had six arrest under his belt, was involved in a liquor syndicate that operated in Brooklyn and Queens.

Three bullets in the back of his head? I guess it's safe to assume he didn't walk to that spot and bury himself in the pile of snow.

I have a sneaky suspicion that he was dragged there by snow trolls. Brooklyn used to be crawling with them.
