Another Gay Sex Killing


Media Monitor  |  By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid  |  June 13, 2001


The Times reported that people said there was no “special intimacy” between them, even though . . . Kolb went to meet Alexander in a motel room at 1:20 in the morning.

      The major media's unwillingness to cover gay sex murders makes us bring this to your attention. The media want you to believe that homosexuals are only victims of crimes, rather than perpetrators. They told you about Matthew Shepard, the gay college student who was killed, but not about Jesse Dirkhising, the young boy in Arkansas tortured and killed by gays. The story of Shaun Alexander is another wake-up call. Alexander, a 23-year-old student at Hofstra University, has been charged by police in New York with the grisly slaying of a classmate, Max Kolb.

      Initial autopsy findings indicated that Kolb, a 20-year-old film major from Kingston, Massachusetts, died from stabs with a kitchen knife that pierced his heart and right lung. The New York Daily News reports that Alexander killed Kolb about 2 a.m. on April 25th at the Econo Lodge in Hicksville, Long Island, after Kolb came there to discuss something "very personal." Police said Kolb was killed after he spurned sexual advances from Alexander. Alexander allegedly told authorities that he hugged and caressed the body before mutilating it, trying to disembowel it, and partly dismembered it.

      Police said they are seeking to determine whether Kolb and Alexander had a homosexual relationship, but it seems obvious there was a homosexual attraction here, at least on the part of Alexander. The relationship may explain why Kolb went with Alexander to a motel in the middle of the night. The Daily News reported that a source close to the investigation said that just before his death, Kolb rejected a close female friend when she asked to have sex. That may indicate homosexuality on the part of Kolb.

      Police said Alexander stored Kolb's naked body in his Land Rover for seven days, then dropped it off at a storage facility for five days before burying it behind an upscale house he rented in Long Beach, Long Island. His father is a wealthy Atlanta financier. Police are now investigating whether Alexander is a serial killer responsible for similar killings outside New York.

      Over at the New York Times, which has a major pro-homosexual bias, the details about the possible homosexual relationship have been omitted. The Times has reported that the murder followed a spurned sexual advance, but there has been no hint of homosexuality on the part of either the victim or the perpetrator. Indeed, the Times says the victim had a girlfriend, and that the alleged killer had talked about having a girlfriend, too. So if we're to believe the Times, these were two heterosexuals. The Times reported that people said there was no "special intimacy" between them, even though Alexander took Kolb to a bar, Kolb and Alexander went camping together, and Kolb went to meet Alexander in a motel room at 1:20 in the morning.

      On the matter of Kolb's girlfriend, the Times quoted the girl as saying he had agreed to be her boyfriend, making him seem heterosexual. But the Daily News said he had refused to have sex with her. We don't know what the ultimate truth is, but the facts are critical to understanding how homosexual relationships can turn deadly. The New York Times should tell the truth.
