quote from the kid arrested in murder–>Writes in his profile: “I like to do crazy and wild things.im like an adrenaline junkie, I’m always looking for a big thrill, I’m a big risk taker and like to live life on the edge.I am an Extremist, an Anarchist,and a Sadomasochist. As long as you show respect for me i will show respect for you, if you disrespect me, then i will fucking break your neck.”

…or associating w/ people who hang at Angry Wade’s either
Yeah, there’s something to be said about associated with people on-line anonymously. Very creepy indeed!
Dave, my first thought was that it was a ‘rough-sex’ type of arrangement and it went awry (clearly).
Another news agency said they met on something like http://www.roughsex.com. I haven’t had time to google that yet though.
Craigslist attracts a lot of nut jobs and unfortunately a lot of closeted gays that won’t seek more public outlets to meet people like bars. It really doesn’t take much back and forth email to separate the idiots/nutjobs/losers/hustlers from what would be more normal people.
I agree with you, What, there is likely more about this story we don’t know yet. Something sounds off.
I thought the kid was 17? Maybe I read it wrong. Anywhoo…yes Rob, I was talking about the radio dj murder.
If he was on craigslist then he was lying about his age most likely. Even so, anything in the 18-19 range is still a bit creepy.
” What a shame. Hopefully the cops can gather enough evidence so the DA can put this nut behind bars for a really long time.”
There is more to this story than meets the eye.
“The fact that the state government workers unions won’t budge on salary cuts is forcing Patterson to lay off 9,000 state workers. These unions, the MTA included, better wise up pretty fast.”
The unions in New York City and New York State are very powerful and Patterson will need their support to defeat Giuliani or D’amato. The State will close some offices at 55 Hanson Pl and other places in the state. I think the New York of the 70’s is coming back. welcome to yesterday…
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
