Man arranges for sex at McDonalds via Craigslist, police say:

Police in Huntersville, NC, which is one town over from Charlotte, arrested 35-year-old Wilson Toro for trying to arrange anonymous sex with another man on craigslist.

Toro wanted to set up the meeting for a McDonald’s rest room in Huntersville. Instead of getting his order filled Huntersville police were waiting for him.

Seriously, in this day and age of tolerance, not to mention sexual predators and killers, why do gay men still feel the need to use craigslist and public rest rooms for anonymous sex? I don’t care if your gay or straight I don’t want to be in McDonald’s and walk into the restroom to see two people getting it on.

Another downside to craigslist cruising: You might be stabbed by a homophobe

August 9, 2010 in Craigslist, Predators by Trench Reynolds | 2 comments

Michigan Carjacking Now Being Investigated As Possible Hate Crime:

Investigators: Stabbing could have been hate crime:

Brutal stabbing in Battle Creek investigated as anti-gay hate crime:

A 45-year-old gay man was brutally stabbed in a Battle Creek, Michigan park. What was first seen as a car jacking may now be a hate crime.

After the man was stabbed some hate filled posts began to appear on craigslist.

“I warned you, you dumb queer.” The message also said. “I e-mailed and said I have something … but you did not think it was a knife did you. Now you are in the hospital and your car is in the river. I warned you.”

Then, according to the Michigan Messenger, a second Craigslist posting appeared were the poster denied responsibility in the assault. The post was filled with anti-gay slurs and references to AIDS. The writer claims that the previous post was “to keep the fags out of the parks, and I am the one that did it. It is not safe to take children to parks or for a walk in the woods without running into a dick sucking party.”

Considering that craigslist and public parks are involved I am going to make an assumption that the victim was cruising craigslist. I am not blaming the victim if that assumption is correct however by engaging in such a dangerous practice he put himself in harms way.

As I’ve said before both gay and straight people need to stop cruising on craigslist for anonymous sex. Isn’t it obvious about the type of people that are on craigslist? And by type of people I mean psychos and sociopaths.

craigslist cruiser arrested in Easley, SC

May 28, 2010 in Craigslist, Predators by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Police: Man Used Craigslist To Solicit Sex At Library:

If you’re planning on using the mens room at the Easley, South Carolina public library you may want to take some hand sanitizer with you as it seems to be a popular attraction for the craigslist cruisers.

Police there arrested one 46-year-old James Michael Stewart after he allegedly posted an ad seeking anonymous sex in the library’s rest room.

There were at least 4 other ads seeking the same in the same location. Luckily the article also provides a picture of one of the ads showing that it was in fact posted in the casual encounters section.

Whod’a thunk it?

Look if you want to have anonymous gay or straight sex that’s your prerogative but keep it away from places that other people have to use. Ick.

Robert Hughes takes advantage of gay men on craigslist

May 26, 2010 in Craigslist, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Man ends Craigslist date naked, robbed in Levy County:

That shiny bundle of sunshine over there is 20-year-old Robert Edward Hughes of Bronson, Florida. He’s accused of robbing a man at gunpoint who was looking for ‘companionship’ on craigslist. We’ll get to that in a moment.

The victim met Hughes in a parking lot and got into his van. Hughes then drove to a desolate area. Hughes forced the man to strip down to his shoes and took his money.

Police were able to track down Hughes because he used in his own phone to call the victim.

Ok, Hughes is a scumbag for victimizing gay men on craigslist but let’s call this what it is. The victim was cruising for anonymous sex on craigslist probably in the casual encounters section. If you are using craigslist for anonymous sex you are setting yourself up for robbery or rape or even death.

How many crimes like this have gone unreported because the victim was too embarrassed to come forward?
