Another Gay Hate Crime in NYC This Time Shot in Face Murder
I have been talking for two weeks(It’s years but recently there is a new spike) now at the spike of hate crimes in NYC. Last week it wont punches on a gay couple this week a shot in the face. I have criticized the police system on home based crime which is to investigate after the facts, not to prevent not to see patterns that predict this type of incidents. If I know it the NYPD (Commish Kelly) and Mayor know it too and is that when you have a chunk of the population in the media almost everyday because of change, this case gay human rights and same sex marriage you will have the hatred based on what they them selves have heard and seen in the media and the church about how awful these type of people are but now’We are giving them all these rights.” You know you will have that hatred spew in violence. Why? It always does.
The New York Police Department say that the fatal shooting on this gay man occurred in Manhattan's West Village early Saturday morning and is being classified as a hate crime (Like that is going to bring him back, save someone from getting shot or have these homophobe probably homosexual himself when caught get any more time). Chances are he wont, because the prosecutors always drop their pants for a confession. We know this.
The shooting took place shortly after midnight at West 8th Street and 6th Avenue near Gray's Papaya. The 32-year-old victim was shot in the face at point blank range and pronounced dead at Beth Israel Hospital.
“This fully looks to be a hate crime; a bias crime,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters today. “There were no words that would aggravate the situation that were spoken by the victims. They did not know the confronter. There was no previous relationship.”
According to the New York Post, the victim and a friend were walking on Sixth Avenue when they were approached by three Hispanic men. These men apparently asked the victim and his friend if they were "gay wrestlers" and made other homophobic slurs.
The victim and his friend were followed by two of these men, before one pulled out a gun and shot the victim in the cheek.
The shooter then ran downtown before being caught by police at MacDougal and West Third streets, the Post reports. The gunman has not been identified yet as he had phony ID on him.
The Post also reports that the shooter had earlier got into a confrontation after urinating outside a bar on Barrow and West Fourth streets. In that confrontation, the shooter had allegedly told a member of staff at the bar that he would shoot him, and that he was behind last year's school shooting in Sandy Hook.
There have been a spate of attacks on homosexuals in New York in recent weeks — Gothamist reports that there have been four such hate crimes in the past two weeks. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters today that there had been 22 bias attacks in the city so far this year, significantly higher than the 13 that had occurred at this point last year.
