According to The NY Post; A gay man was gunned down in
Greenwich Village early yesterday allegedly by a bigot who hurled homophobic
slurs at him — a senseless attack that Police Commissioner Ray Kelly called
“clearly a hate crime.”
Brooklyn resident Mark
Carson and a pal were walking on Sixth Avenue near West Eighth Street at around
midnight when the two were approached by Elliot Morales, 33, and two other
Hispanic men, police said.
“Look at these faggots,” one
of the men snarled, remarking on the boots, cut-off shorts and tank tops that
Carson, 32, and his friend were wearing. “What are you, gay wrestlers?”
Carson and his friend turned
right onto West Eighth Street. One of the Hispanic men left. Morales and the
other man kept shadowing them.
