HIV ASSASSIN WAS FUELED BY FEAR OF 'GAY' BLACKMAIL

"Askew claimed to be an Orthodox Jew, a Yale Law School graduate, a Gulf War veteran, a real-estate developer, and a future senator.

Hillary shakes her head, "No, no, no, you imbecile, you're supposed to HIRE someone to pull the trigger."

Fearing his secret past was about to be exposed, City Hall gunman Othniel Askew left his immaculately restored Brooklyn townhouse Wednesday prepared to kill and die.

Queer Eye For The Straight Guy?

[aristeides]

Doesn't dementia occur in the late stages of AIDS?

[martin gibson]

Askew was arrested on Dec. 29, 1996 and charged with felony assault on charges that he beat his boyfriend with a hammer inside their West 43rd Street apartment...

...now THAT'S 'gay bashing'!

[wimpycat]

Askew claimed to be an Orthodox Jew, a Yale Law School graduate, a Gulf War veteran, a real-estate developer, and a future senator... Yale could not immediately confirm the claim, officials confirmed Askew had served in the Air Force, and there was no record of any real-estate development experience beyond work on his Brooklyn home. Neighbors in Long Island said he had been brought up as a Jehovah's Witness... Described as a fast-talking charmer, the dapper Askew used several names, and had a reputation as an eccentric with an unlimited imagination. He also had a piercing gaze and a sometimes disturbing manner.

In other words, he was a NUT.

Wow! As a former New Yorker I knew there had to be more to it than that said in earlier reports, but sheesh! Even in New York!

The world gone mad!

....fastidiously neat Fort Greene apartment.

Nothing screams "gay" more than this statement.

[AD from SpringBay]

Yet another gay guy flips out.

Sexuality of peace alert.

I thought that this would give a Democrat candidate an advantage.

Not in Brooklyn, it wouldn't.

The blackmail claim is as much nonsense as the bribery claim, though. Askew couldn't get enough sigs to get on the ballot.

So it just sounds like one of his delusions.

[hellinahandcart]

I knew there had to be more to it than that said in earlier reports, but sheesh!

I know; I wasn't expecting it to take this turn, either.

[hellinahandcart]

Nothin' gay about those pants, no sirree...

[csvset]

They said they found prescriptions for Paxil...

Isn't Paxil one of the "happy" medicines peddeled on TV during the prime time newscasts? Perhaps I'm confusing it with Zoloft.

[xp38]

There was a whole Seinfeld episode on being fastidiously neat and gay. Is Fort Greene a gay ghetto?

[Salman]

Alleged personal ad:
Black male seeks Black mail. Purpose blackmail.

[bmwcyle]

Outlaw guns and only outlaw homos will have guns.

[Salman]

Askew claimed to be an Orthodox Jew...

See? It's the Jews! The Jews, I tell you...

[Atlas Sneezed]

Omigod! The killer is BLACK!

Ia have read a dozen different stories on this, and I learn something new on the 13th!
