Canadian police have finally found the body of 72-year old British national, Harley Walker. Walker went missing last October and concerned neighbors called the police to investigate. Coppers may not have found Walker, but they found a considerable amount of blood in his house, as well as evidence that a man named David Kenton Reid may have been responsible.
Like so many men, Walker turned to the internet to get his kicks. Police allege that 46-year old Reid – a married father and former investment banker – used a gay sex site to lure old men into his web of deceit. If they’re to be believed, Walker contacted Reid about three months before his death. Reid somehow got access to the elderly man’s bank account, took all he could and then murdered Walker.
An autopsy of Walker’s badly decomposed body shows that he died of a stab wound to the chest. Hardly the penetration he expected when he logged onto that website. But, sadly, one we’re hearing off all too often. If only people could relate face-to-face. What a wonderful – and potentially less scary – world this would be…

There was an article in the college paper, The Columbia Spectator, where the author correctly points out that many people don’t come out not over fear of what family and friends will say; but over fear of what other gays will say. I have never read truer words in my life. It is this fear that is growing the online cruising industry.

This horrendous crime had nothing to do with internet chat rooms and/or “crusing”. Jeffrey Dahmer didn’t need a chat room and neither did David Reid.
Also the tone of your article is very disrespectful. I guess thats why I never heard of this site until I found this link in a search engine.
Anyways keep up the great work, this world needs more bitchy-catty gay writers – thanks for doin’ your part.

“Hardly the penetration he expected when he logged onto that website.”
come on. this is a human life you’re writing about.

The tone of bitchy condescension here has convinced me to give up this site for good. I really don’t care to hear sermonizing about being on the internet . . . from an internet blog. And that penetration gag? Not funny, not clever, and not appropriate for the topic.

Okay, first and foremost, I have to say how much I appreciate the candor and wit of the writing here. For all of you other rainbow-flag wearing, politically correct, uptight, glaad-sponsoring complainers: Hit the little ‘X’ on the upper right corner of your browser and don’t visit this site any more.
Would you rather be watching or reading news from some squackbox which is either sensationalized or watered down?
Facts is facts. And it made me laugh. If that makes me an asshole, then so be it. But don’t change a thing.

Social Distortion, political correctness has nothing to do with basic human decency. Glad you got a good laugh out of someone else’s murder. Yeah, I think that does qualify you an asshole.
