Police are pledging to crack down on public sex and cruising in city parks after making their first Tonaquint Park lewdness bust in St. George, Utah. A 54-year-old St. George man and a 53-year-old Springville man were arrested Saturday afternoon and charged with lewdness in a public park.
Police Sergeant Craig Harding said officers patrolling the park heard noise coming from the restroom and from outside were able to see one man touch the other in a sexual manner. "Any kid could have been exposed to this kind of activity, which is outrageous," Harding said.
(dlb) which is outrageous I wonder the act or the fact that it is 2 men?
The park purportedly has gained a reputation as a cruising spot for men to hook up.
(dlb) Dang, wish I knew about it before...
"We heard there was possibly some gay stuff going on, and I have my officers patrol that area," Lieutenant Dave Moss said. "If there's people down there trying to hook up, they usually leave and go somewhere else."
Harding said, "We're going to cruise it more. We're going to work it undercover and try to stamp this out."
(dlb) funny that he used the words cruise here, what is his true meaning? Sounds like this cops getting a little side action.
Leland Young, a gay community activist in St. George, said the community does not want people to behave badly in a park, but some fear the police will go beyond cracking down on public sex. "There's been harassment on some levels. They're not going up to the heterosexual community and saying, 'What are you doing in the park?'" Young said.
Police denied targeting people for being gay. "We can't target people. We can't target groups. We can't target cultures,
(dlb) "But by god we wish we could!"
but we can target criminal behavior," Harding said.
(dlb)it's good to hear that the crack addicts are safe on the streets again and that murder is not the number one priority in St. George Utah. The cops have more important things to worry about, like getting those two 50 yr old men out of a park well after all the kids should be in bed! That is where our priority should lie and that is where our hearts truly feel justice needs to be served today! Next Stop, Concentration camps for the Queers! Lets just stick them all in San Francisco where we can watch them from afar, you know, like a zoo.
Well...
On a little more serious note.
Did you hear about the 3 guys that got Gay Bashed after the pride parade in San Diego?
Wow... I live in a bubble here. I mean I feel so safe here at Omega that I can say or do anything the way that I am and act like myself to the fullest. it's kindof scary to realize that there are still hate crimes going on out there. Kindof humbling.
