Tabloid Wars: 'Men' vs. 'Gays'
Two men were shot after resisting a robbery early yesterday near the Prospect Park Zoo.
The wounded victims, aged 28 and 29, whose names were not released, were hanging out in the Brooklyn park at about 5:30 a.m.
Sad story, of course. But who "hangs out" in Prospect Park at 5:30 a.m.? Oh...
Two men were shot and robbed by a gunman clad in dark clothes early yesterday morning in a gay meeting spot in Prospect Park, police said.
[...]
The men were engaged in a sex act when the trigger-happy thug pounced on them in the wooded Vale of Cashmere, a gay hangout dubbed Boys' Town, police sources said.
See, now that's tabloid journalism.
Frankly, Post, we're disappointed again. I mean, "hanging out." Come on! Come back to us, Lachlan! All is forgiven!
