No one likes being rejected. But one Seattle man took his recent Grindr spurn a little too personally.
41-year-old Alik Lebedev (pictured) immigrated to the United States from Russia 16 years ago. In March, he connected with a man on Grindr. After chatting for a while, the two agreed to meet. But when Lebedev showed up at the guy’s condo, the alleged victim decided he was no longer interested. He offered Lebedev a glass of water then asked him to leave.

A short while later, the alleged victim had a change of heart and sent Lebedev another message, inviting him back over. He accepted. When he returned to the man’s condo, however, Lebedev had a gun.
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.
First, he demanded the victim hand over all his cash, two watches and a credit card. Then he made him delete all the messages they had exchanged on Grindr, stole his SIM card, and fled.
Police were able to use DNA collected from the glass of water to track down Lebedev. When they arrived at his house the following Monday, Lebedev barricaded himself inside and threatened to shoot.

An eight hour standoff ensued and didn’t end until Lebedev turned the gun on himself. He suffered a single shotgun wound to the chest, but survived. He was taken to a local hospital, where he remains today. He has been charged with first-degree armed robbery.
But this isn’t Lebedev’s first run in with the law.
In 2000, he was arrested for trying to shoplift $4,000 worth of jewelry from Sears, then taking off in a stolen car. He served three years in prison for the crime.
In 2006, he was arrested a second time for attempting to solicit sex and sending dirty photos and videos of himself to a police officer posing as a 14-year-old boy online. He served two and a half years in prison for that.
And in 2010, he got in trouble for failing to register his address with police when he moved.

$4,000 in jewelry from SEARS? How is that even possible?
stranded
Why was he still in the country past 2010?

@CityBoy300: I was thinking the same thing!

And anyone who shops for jewelry at Sears should be deported just for starters.

@stranded: He’s white.

Mrs. Clinton has pledged to bring in 65,000 more of these wonderful, unvetted characters to assuage her guilt for screwing up the middle east with her idiot Clinton doctrine. Only problem is, the new ones are going to be Muzzies. And, Muzzies hate gays. So, go ahead ladies, vote for Hillary and guarantee your own demise (and mine). Are gay men really that stupid? Hillary is going to turn her back on the safety concerns of gay men while we are having the sh it beat out of us. And then she’s going to say, “all muslims are not violent, anti-gay jihadists”. Bang, you’re dead gentlemen. Keep it real. Dump Hillary.

@o.codone: @bobnla: Agreed. What a piece of true immigrant junk. Deport him !!

Hook-up rule no. 1: always meet in a public spot.
If Lebedev wasn’t deported the first time, I guess he has some sort of permanent residency here in the U.S. He sounds like a real nut job.

@Scribe38: 🙂 Looks like gay people are waking up to the reality that the liberal political class does not have gay interests in mind when it comes to immigration. You can make all the jokes you want, and you can call names and ridicule, but we will all pay the price for your foolish and thoughtless vote for Hillary. So, don’t do it. I’m not going to tell you to vote for Trump, but I sure as hell am. We have to turn the tide, and get some change in Washington. Do we want another 8 years of ineffective government? We cannot afford it. Gays have to just say no to that old bit ch.

@o.codone: “8 years of ineffective government?” Are you joking? “Ineffective” how? Your beloved GOP and Trump–who hired undocumented workers from Poland to throw up Trump Tower, and who has requested massive amounts of H1B visa workers for his Florida and other properties–have got you and other white supremacists snowed. THE GOP AND BUSINESS CLASSES SUPPORT FREE BORDERS!
Why can’t you grasp this? George W. Bush received the support of most Muslim groups in 1999, NOT Al Gore. His administration spirited the Saudis out of the US after 9/11, NOT Democrats. I know it’s hard to grasp, but your corporate friends, including the GOP gang running Congress (into the ground), support massive immigration to lower wages and enrich the people at the top. Obama has deported more undocumented immigrants, especially those convicted of crimes, than any other US president. But I know, he’s black, and you want the anti-gay white supremacist, so obscure the record.
Trump is not going to support LGBTIQ people, including white ones who are not rich, because the GOP HATES GAY PEOPLE, and as much as you want to ally with him on racial-ethnic grounds, you will see that just as happened with prior Republican administrations, including the horrendous two W Bush terms, you will once again get another demonstration of what “ineffective government” looks like under a Trump administration.

@Kangol: You are one hundred percent right, of course.

@o.codone: I consider myself to be a liberal and he should’ve been kicked out in 2000.

“A short while later, the alleged victim had a change of heart and sent Lebedev another message, inviting him back over.”
I guess it was a slow night on Grindr and the victim was so desperate for sex he invited his reject back to his place? People need to learn to trust their instincts.

@Kangol: Thanks for your reply because I was going to say some awfully invective stuff to that guy. How does he think that a man that the establishment GOP hates is going to make a change? They are going to do to him exactly what they did to the black guy, proving that they are hateful in general. If he thinks we have “ineffective government” now, wait and see what a Trump presidency will wrought on America with a GOP trifecta: Congress, Presidency and SCOTUS! The GOP will call for a Constitutional Convention under the guise of repealing Obamacare and then mess with abortion AND LGBTQ rights. That maroon has no idea about what is really going on in this country.

@Kangol: Trump is not a Republican nor conservative. Hillary is dangerous. Gays better wake up.
