Jeromie Cancel could be the poster child for “horror.” And, frighteningly enough, he’d probably enjoy the title.
The 22-year old yesterday again admitted to murdering 19-year old Kevin Pravia because he was “bored.” This we already knew.
Cancel remarks yesterday, however, give us an even deeper view into the gruesome killing.
According to the Cancel, a “drifter,” he first met Pravia in Time Square, where the gay college student was allegedly looking for drugs. The men then headed back to Pravia’s Chelsea apartment, where the victim fell asleep. Cancel seized the moment to get his sick kicks
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Cancel recalled how the sleeping Pravia’s eyes flew open as he felt the murderer’s noose around his neck.
And even as Pravia’s struggles grew faint, Cancel kept his free hand – the one not pulling the cord – on his cigarette and his eyes on the movie in the DVD player, “Saw,” a gory horror flick.
Cancel also stuffed a plastic bag in Pravia’s mouth. He has, for the record, feels no remorse and said, “I’d do it again.” Fucking sick.

I thought this was a street pick-up gone wrong? Or a drug deal? Wasn’t the victim under the impression he was bringing a hustler home? Was the victim in his underwear & sleeping after sex, like first reported?
Understanding both the victimology & crime scene behavior of this crime of violence will allow us to better understand the offender’s motivation as well as his psychological stability.
And don’t even think about calling this being a Hate Crime.

Seems to me that this is a case of two different worlds colliding
1) victim trusting and innocent
2) Murderer streetwise piece of trash
Question that has always puzzled me is why we as a society allow uncontrolled breeding by straights, so that trash like this is allowed to pass on its genes from generation to generation – and yeah, I know this particular scumbag won’t be passing on its genes (although it might already have an entire brood dotted around the city) but it probably has brothers and sisters.
After all allowing uncontolled breeding by straights leaves us to pick up the social costs like with this scumbag and then the costs of locking it up for decades in some prison.
Simple to ensure everyone who wants to have children passes a simple IQ test, or basic fitness to have kids test.

I can actually agree w/Tallskin for once. Exile or sterilization for those too stupid and/or dysfunctional should be mandatory.

all of your details about this are wrong. read the newspaper. this started in union square, not times square; pravia lived on the lower east side, not in chelsea.
Doctor Who
wrong and wrong. queerty, it was union square. matt, he did live in the chelsea area (they posted his address as west 15th street, that’s not the lower east side).
and seriously, every time i see that picture of cancel, i seriously think someone should cancel him out … like with a bullet between the eyes.

confused here. the post article quotes cancel’s confession: “i don’t have any remorse…i’d do it again,” but they he pleads NOT GUILTY to murder. huh? am i missing something here? i don’t understand how someone can confess to a thrillkill and then be allowed to plead not guilty…

Death penalty for him. End of story.

I’ve seen gays that shouldn’t have kids either, it’s not a straight or gay issue. The not guilty plea is what BS defense attorney’s always pull. These Defense Attorney’s are just as bad as the killers. They defend this trash knowing full well they are guilty. But Karma is a bitch. OJ’s old attorneys are all dead and he is finally locked up. This Jeromie Cancel should just be killed the same way he killed Kevin. Tie him up in a chair and stuff a Ralph’s Market bag in his mouth until he suffocates.

Maybe this is all part of his upcomming insanity plea. either way…dude is scary. All he needs is an old William Shatner mask and some blue coveralls…

Gee. Wouldn’t this scumbag make a perfect ‘poster child’ for the backers of California’s Proposition 8?
Lest anyone take me seriously, I hasten to add that “I make the joke. Huh. Huh. Huh”.
Only you old geezers out there, like me, will know what the fuck I am talking about with that last statement. lol
