All that has little motss content, but here's more
fodder for Chuck that is apropos:

Several weeks ago there was a double shotgun murder
of two gay men on lovely, quiet, safe Appleton street
in Boston's South End (South End, South End, South End).
Appleton is where it's at---Chuck used to live on the
gay-wannabe Tremont Street.

Anyhow, very early in the morning on Father's Day, say
around 3 am, a Brazilian-American gay man named Athos
Oliveira had his head nearly blown off with two rifle
or shotgun shots.  A drunk passerby who was unfortunate
enough to witness this, visiting San Francisco resident
Thomas Meyer, was chased down a block away and similarly
shot in the head at close range.  Meyer was in Boston
for a friend's wedding and had been out drinking at
nearby Club Cafe, a bar/restaurant/club that attracts
a large gay and lesbian croowd.
