Students at U.S. gay school arrested
This should be quite a blow to the PC police. Ooops, sorry. Wrong choice of words.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Five boys who attend a New York high school for gay and lesbian students are accused of dressing as female prostitutes and robbing unsuspecting customers, police say.
I thought this school was setup because these kids were being subjected to harrasment? Might want to rethink that, maybe?
Dressed as women, the five approached men seeking prostitutes in Manhattanâs West Village, a popular spot for the illicit sex trade. They then posed as undercover police as they stripped their victims of their wallets, credit cards, bank cards and cash, police said. The youths, all aged 17 except for one 16-year-old, are charged with robbery and criminal impersonation of a police officer and will be charged as adults, police said.
Iâll bet they get dick at their sentencing. Ooooops. Wrong choice of words again.
Wearing wigs, earrings and makeup, the youths robbed five men, flashing phony police badges and handcuffing their victims, police said. "You couldnât put this in a book. Nobody would believe it," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a weekly radio appearance.
Who was a big, big fan of setting this place up I believe.
The teens attend the cityâs Harvey Milk high school for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students, police said.
What? Arenât there any famous gay New Yorkers they couldâve named it after? I can think of some. Any of Lizaâs husbands, for instance...
They are suspected of committing other robberies as well, and police are asking other possible victims to come forward. The youths were arrested on Thursday by plainclothes police who recognised one of them from the victimsâ descriptions.
Thereâs a later story on this and, guess what? The gay angle has miraculously... disappeared!
