All of politics is local.
This is a local neighborhood taking care of itself. Cops don’t have to do EVERYTHING.
LOL! The NYT believes that America loves Queer child rapists. They need to stop watching Hollywood movies and get out amongst the people.
Cutting down the trees was not law enforcement. It was a way to prevent the deterioration of the neighborhood. And, frankly, it doesn’t matter if it was men buggering each other, or heterosexuals having sex, or drug addicts shooting up. It’s about removing a condition that attracts pests.
Ask gardeners about this.
Every rest stop in Connecticut is closed after dark for this very reason.
Those trees had provided much happiness with the hard cider drunk by many generations of free Americans.
Good times, good times...
I won’t give the Times the click but, on the basis of what you’ve excerpted here I think a couple of things should be pointed out:
1. The Times so so badly wants to talk about how much the world hates gays that it runs this article, as “news,” about something that happened fifty years ago.
2. The headline — “ax wielding” obviously suggests that the ax wielders were going after human beings with axes. Of course if you read the article you find that they were doing with the axes what one is supposed to do with an ax: chop down a tree.
I guess there wasn’t enough “hate” happening yesterday (i.e. enough people doing things that the Times disagrees with) so they had to go find very very old news and then report on that with a distorted headline.
What a shame. Once upon a time it was a good newspaper.
Portland Maine.
cruising hit a high point and there was not a park or promanade that was not filled with jiggling bushes.
Many people left the city.
It is now in leftist hands and although it looks better than other places on the surface, the rot is deep.
The Good Old Days
Fast forward to a few years ago, a family friend told me that her brother, a homosexual, confessed that gays liked the thrill of these "clandestine" hookups because they brought back the extremely elevated sensations they remember when they first entered the "perverted" lifestyle. This brought to mind the deep-seated hunger that drug addicts have to recreate the high they experienced when they first started using.
Before the psychiatric community cowered under LGBTQ pressure, it was IIRC regularly said that "homosexuality" was nothing more than a perverted form of sexual addiction.
Seems reasonable for the time, to clean up a neighborhood.
Communities rallied to chase out fags, child molesters, perverts of all stripes. I fail to see the controversy.
This would be the same NY Times that a year before had published the lies about "38 witnesses" to the Kitty Genovese murder.
The NY Times has been in the fake news business for a looooooong time and ANYTHING they publish (or have published) should not be taken at face value
Many mobs have attacked gays, and the media was silent. Oh, they were m*slim mobs, did I mention that?
They had battery operated saws back in ‘69?
The police ‘watched’ while a onservative journalist got beat up by Antifa... and did the little sh*ts at the New York Times care? You’re being played for a fool Alex Vadukul ...
I’ll bet the “harassing” started with homosexuals approaching straight men using the park for normal recreation, and maybe some near misses when they tried to grab up teenage boys. If they’d just kept out of sight in the trees and not bothered anyone else they might have not even been noticed.
We don’t go looking in their closets, so they should stay there.
According to her, the police said that the men “were doing a job which the police were not able to do to the satisfaction of the community.”
Any idea how this can be expanded to Wash.D.C. ?
If you’ve ever seen how homos behave when they’re “cruising”, you can’t but sympathize with the vigilantes, as the police obviously did. No sane person would want a “cruising spot” in their neighborhood.
I bet someone’s kid picked up a used condom or leftover drugs and that’s what triggered the cleanup.
Why do homosexuals have penchant for sex in wooded parks and public bathrooms, like animals?
