Reply to comment by ZweitenMal in NYC councilman urges LGBTQ community to stay vigilant after deaths of 2 gay men in Hell's Kitchen by ShinyGodzilla

It was 2 murders in 3 months, the last of which was in June. Probably not a great use of undercover resources.

Also very likely this looked like a normal pickup attempt until the drinks were spiked, so what you're suggesting is that cops stake out clubs and fend off hundreds, maybe thousands, of pickup attempts, over months or years, until a guy roofies their drink. And you have to test the drink after every single one, because otherwise you don't know if they've roofied it and therefore if you found the bad guys.

I'll become a cop for this job.

Obviously gay lives don't matter. /s

There is a pattern. The victims are prescreened. Watching for pickups where the antagonists ask prying questions to determine who has assets they can steal, and then tries to get the victim to go with them to a different location, should be effective. We know of two druggings and robberies that went bad. How many others have there been?

Prying questions like a guy hitting on you in a bar asking "So what do you do?"

Trying to get the victim to leave with them, as in every pickup attempt ever?
