Sandy was lured to a parkg lot at <a href=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Plumb Beach Brooklyn</a> unr the pretense of a sexual enunter and then killed an attempted robbery, the spot on Sheepshead Bay ntu to be a place where men ngregate for furtive homosexual enunters. <a href=">John Fox</a> and <a href=">Anthony Fortunato</a> were both nvicted last week of manslghter as a hate crime the ath of Sandy, who was stck by a r on the Belt Parkway, where Fox and Ilya Shurov chased him. The vlent crime don't seem to be terrg the men who still s by themselv their rs, smokg and wag––for what isn't entirely clear. <a href=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Tim</a> sent a reporter to observe the scene the parkg lot Friday night. He approached one of the rs and the driver said he had heard of Sandy's ath and the parkg lot's reputatn, but that wasn't why he was there. Nohels, the olr gentleman drove off wh a younger man who approached his r soon thereafter. A perfunctory search of gay cisg s dit that Plumb Beach is still a popular se for meetgs. <a href=" target="_blank" rel="noopener">One se</a> rated the rt stop parkg lot as 3 ("Average") out of 5 for safety and 5 ("Hot!") out of 5 for actn [Warng: se page ntas graphic imag].</p><p><a href=" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> wr that there will be a vigil for Michael Sandy this afternoon at Plumb Beach, orchtrated by his parents. His mother is one person who wish that the cy would close the parkg lot where her son met his killers. Other rints disagree, however, and thk that more law enforcement and ntued beach accs is more appropriate.</p></div><!--]--><!--]--></div><div
