Unidentified assailants tossed three incendiary devices at a gay nightclub in San Juan, Puerto Rico over the weekend. The building wasn’t badly damaged and no one was hurt.

“Several individuals who were dressed in black” threw the devices at Circo Bar in the city’s Santurce neighborhood according to the Puerto Rican newspaper El Vocero.

Some people thought he was trying to be funny and got mad about it. Then we found out he’s dyslexic but it’s still weird.

As the world becomes more and more of a nightmare, with an impending climate catastrophe and negative news arriving via push notification every other hour, people have turned to an unorthodox escape method: true-crime stories.

But in a noticeable shift from normal proceedings, true crime shows are now reintroducing us to a particularly deadly protagonist: the gay serial killer. Ryan Murphy’s The Assassination of Gianni Versace followed gay serial killer Andrew Cunanan as he pursued fame, love and money, killing anyone who crossed his path. Netflix docu-series Don’t F**k With Cats gave viewers an insight into the twisted mind of Canadian murderer Luka Magnotta. Later this year, The Barking Murders, a three-part drama starring Sheridan Smith and Stephen Merchant, will explore the crimes of the so-called "Grindr killer" Stephen Port, who murdered at least four men.

Tentative queer readings of murderous protagonists in films from decades gone by, such as We Need to Talk About Kevin, Kill Bill and several Bond villains who have flirted with homoeroticism (the most brazen example being Javier Bardem in Skyfall), have opened the door to the killers of today who are explicitly and unavoidably gay. The renewed interest in gay killers can be seen as a continuation of pop culture’s preoccupation with “gay death” – it’s just now we’re doing the killing as well as being killed.

“Gay people secretly wish for their own destruction. Whereas straight people secretly envy the unhinged libidinal urge of queer life.”

"Community members got a hold of us and said they really had a problem with trying to take a walk in one of our nature preserves as well as some private property because people were having sex in public," said PSPD Chief Andy Mills.

The 41-year-old artist made the allegations during a recent appearance on the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast, claiming the assault occurred during an afterparty for one of his shows in Paris. Brown told Tom Segura that Ninja had DM’d about possibly meeting up after the concert; Brown claims he offered to put the rapper’s name on the guest list, but Ninja ultimately declined.
