From The New York Shitty Inbox: Dead In The Water?
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Newtown Creek
This item comes courtesy of an anonymous tipster:
On Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 1310 hours in the confines of the 94 pct. Police responded to a male in the water (Newtown Creek) in the rear of 16 Bridgewater Street. Upon arrival officers discovered a M/H-W/30-40 floating in the water unconscious and unresponsive. EMS responded and pronounced the aided DOA. Medical Examiner to determine the cause of death. The investigation is ongoing and the ID of the victim is pending.
First it was a horrific hate crime on the Northside and now this. This is proving not to be a good week in north Brooklyn. It goes without saying I will be asking about this (among other things) at the next 94th Precinct Community Council meeting…

From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Benefit For Barie

Hi Miss Heather –
I was hoping you could spread the word about a hate crime that happened a few weeks ago in Williamsburg. on the corner of N. 4th St. and Wythe. A friend of mine who lives in the area, Barie Shortell, was attacked and on the way home one evening. He was not robbed, but the people attacking him did mock him with anti-gay taunts before they attacked him…breaking his nose, jaw and eye socket. The attack has been deemed a hate crime.
Barie is doing much better but is not insured and will certainly still have a way to go in recovery…more surgeries are guaranteed.
- An account has been set up in his name for donations.
- Additionally, a Facebook page has been created.
- There will also be a benefit at the Blackout Bar in Greenpoint next Wednesday the 23rd to raise funds.
Any attention we can draw to this would be amazing. Barie could really use the support and people should know that this kind of shit is happening right here right now?
Duly posted. For what it is worth I heard about this disgusting act at last week’s Community Board meeting. It was described as being “pretty bad”. This is an understatement (he was in surgery for over nine hours to have his face reconstructed). Please be a good neighbor and help spread the word about what happened to Mr. Shortell. Those who are able, please tender a donation to help defray medical bills and/or attend the previously mentioned fundraiser at Blackout:
