Michael Alig is in trouble again, this time for trespassing and smoking meth in a park beside the Bronx Supreme Court.
The New York Daily News reports the 50-year-old was arrested on Thursday, after a cop caught the infamous “Club Kid killer” hanging out in Kilmer Park in Concourse at 1:30am. (The park closes after dusk.)

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.
Alig was the self-professed “King of Nightlife” in the mid-90s, masterminding parties like the notorious Disco 2000 at Limelight.
In 1996, he pleaded guilty to the murder of his dealer, Andre “Angel” Melendez. He served 17 years in prison for the crime.
As the story goes, he got into a fight with Melendez, which led to his friend Robert “Freeze” Riggs striking the dealer several times with a hammer.
Alig reacted by pouring Drano in Melendez’s mouth and taping it shut as the body lay in the tub. Then the two disco dollies chopped him up and threw his remains in the Hudson.

He was released in May 2014.
After Thursday’s arrest, Alig was arraigned on drug possession and trespass charges.
He “pleaded guilty to trespass in exchange for a conditional discharge,” NYDN reports.

I wonder if Prison stunted his growth. Most grow out of that shit.
CaliKyle
He arrived in prison something far worse than stunted. Like the orangutan now flinging feces from the Oval Office, Alig is a defective bit of subhuman detritus who managed to achieve a degree of fame and success by appealing to the worst impulses of some of the worst people.

Looks as though Michael Alig can join the growing ranks of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Che Guevara, Donna Hylton, Fidel Castro, and virtually every mass shooter in American history (Holmes, Stack, Hasan, Cho, Alexis, etc).
My my, but there certainly are a lot of progressives out there murdering people, aren’t there?
ChrisK
Do you ever come out of that insane us vs them Republican bubble? This is just a sad guy who’s spent most of his adult life behind bars making up for lost time.
CaliKyle
Suggesting hyperbolic and baseless correlations only serves to underscore your own lack of intellect and basic reasoning skills. The “mo” clearly stands for moron. Alig isnt making up for “lost time” – he’s a malignant narcissist and probable psychopath. His addictions undoubtedly exacerbated his profoundly disordered personality but he’s still a turd that society needs to flush.

@CaliKyle:
You’re right, he is a turd in need of flushing by society, as are the others on my list who are regularly embraced by even mainstream Democrats. I only point this out because Queerty has inarguably declared itself a site of far-left opinion.

I see someone else is having issues because of smoking meth. Rehab in your future, mo’boring?

I guess you are forgetting the Trump supporter who shot up a mosque, or the white supremacist who shot up a black church…

this reminds me of these Black and Hispanic kids (under 18) who are arrested for stupid shit so often they view getting arrested as a natural part of leaving the house. The thing is,
They are used to being arrested and “let go” if they plead guilty to something unaware of the reality that the police are building long rap sheets against them for that time when they become adults and can be sent to prison.
The problem now is that The Beast is too big and too accustomed to human flesh to be satiated by Blacks and Hispanics alone.

Alig was no kid when he murdered his drug dealer.

Alig wasn’t a kid when he murdered Angel. He was an adult. It’s sad that he has a second chance and he seems determined to mess it up. Isn’t he on probation and wouldn’t this be in violation?

Apparently, he completed his parole in November.

I was soooo convinced he was going to go on to be a productive member of society.

Why can’t they leave that poor fellow alone!
