It's Bush's fault. If only the current president were more sympathetic to the plight and lack of tolerance for brutal gay murderers, this may never happened. </sarc>

A badly decomposed partial human torso found yesterday in a Brooklyn recycling plant that handles trash from subways may be from the same man whose limbs were found last week in a subway tunnel three miles away, the police said.

The lower torso, with an upper thigh, was found about 10 a.m. by a worker at the Rapid Processing recycling plant at 860 Humboldt Avenue in Greenpoint, which processes trash that comes from the New York City Transit system, according to Nino Tristani, a official with the company.

Detectives suspect that the torso and limbs came from the same man because both sets of remains were in similar recycling bags, a police official said.

The limbs were found last Thursday by a track worker in a subway tunnel about 200 feet from the Nostrand Avenue stop on the A line.

Detectives investigating that case were able to identify the limbs - two legs and an arm - from fingerprints, and the police said last week that they were looking for a man with whom the victim, Rashawn Brazell, 19, had planned a tryst. ...

1. What do you WEAR to a decapitation, anyway?
2. Romantic? Let's call it what it was: sex. He was meeting for sex.

Let's not be too critical. At least the murderer was trying to be environmentally conscious (although I don't want to know what might be done with recycled limbs).

nobody deserves that. Well, maybe people that rape children deserve that, but gay or not, this is the kind of stuff that shouldn't happen to people. Whether you agree with his lifestyle or not, he had a family... a mom and a dad, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins... all of these people are hurting terrible because some whacko homohater killed a very important piece of their lives. I don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle either, especially not a promiscuous one, but this is just a horrible and disgusting crime.

First rule of internet dating: bring a gun, it could save your life.

Something fashionable and romantic, of course.

I've notice that lately in the Islamic world that orange jumpsuits seem to be all the rage at their "romantic Liaisons".
I don't know what the "fashionable" thing is in New York.

People really have to be careful. I would not try to meet anyone for sex over the internet. Whatever happen to bar cruising? I don't know this young man, so I won't speculate but it's a pretty tragic way to die.

I certainly didnt mean he deserved to be killed, but the fact remains, Promiscuous sex with homosexual males is not much different than committing suicide. Aids is just a bit slower. Certainly this was a horrible crime, even more horrible it was pre-meditated. I have read stories where women have gone to meet men whose stated purpose was to kill them. Now how crazy is that? I dont know much about Homosexuality, but it appears to be a bit likes drugs. People lose all Judgement all common sense, all fear , and debase themselves just to arrive at what is basically just another orgasm.

I agree. This young man made a fatal mistake in looking for a sexual partner on the internet and hooking up with a stranger, for sure, but neither he nor his family deserved the brutality than ensued. It could be a cautionary tale, however, about the dangers of the lifestyle - and the danger of any sort of anonymous online hook up, for that matter.

Excuse the language, but my dad told me something forty years ago that I've never forgotten. A hardon will take you places you wouldn't go with two loaded .45's. Whether hetero or homo, I've seen a lot of guys get their heads and other body parts handed to them because they only have enough blood to supply one organ at a time.
