Parks Arrests 80 Men for Sexual Acts in Plumb Beach

Last August, as in last year, the National Park Service arrested & summonsed about 80 men for sex related crimes(either propositioning, in the act, etc.).

The NPS conducted undercover operations to entrap proposition people. Apparently it worked well.

In the process they also snagged a few fishermen, whom were there after hours, in the month long sweep whom are now in the process of defending themselves in court. There were many others who just paid a fine and/or accepted a deal.

Just to put this whole thing in perspective. The arrests may have something to do with the threat that the National Parks Service would lose its funding in our area. So to justify their existence they arrested more people in on month than they did all of the previous year.

Hopefully everyone there will all sing kumbaya when the Michael Sandy Memorial is erected.

Michael Sandy to get Memorial at Plumb Beach Rest Stop

Michael Sandy, a gay man, who died after Anthony Fortunato, John Fox, and Ilya Shurov lured him to the plumb beach rest stop to steal his money, is now going to get some sort of tombstone like memorial at the rest stop.

According to SheepheadBites, CB 15 voted unanimously to approve this memorial.

The plumb beach rest stop area is run by federal, state and city agencies. All of which do not want the responsibility of stopping the area from washing out to sea. The whole area is being held together by sandbags.

I’m not sure how this is possible. NYC Parks commissioner Spegial whom(im assuming) would be the one agency to have the final say if the memorial gets erected, has gone on record as saying:   “Parks should not be named after dead people” and “Parks are not cemeteries… no memorials allowed”.

That should be good news for us here in Gerritsen Beach, all of our tombstone like memorials in Larry Veiling field should be approved in no time. After all those people we memorialized died from the largest hate crime in history — 9/11.
