A Craigslist hookup went tragically wrong for 24-year-old Daniel Brandt late Saturday night. Police say the Brooklyn man showed up at a Coney Island apartment expecting to rendezvous with a woman he met on Craigslist. Instead, he was fatally shot in the head by two men who robbed him and fled the scene. Brandt later died in Coney Island Hospital; his assailants are still on the loose but an NYPD source tells the Post that investigators "believe they know who sent the phony e-mails to Brandt and are waiting to get a warrant to search the suspect's computer." In the meantime, we'll stick to rants and raves.

Is it safe to assume that what we have here is a white dude with jungle fever - and not too much common sense...?
oh my god this is awful. but why meet a total stranger at an apartment? it's not worth it people! why not meet at a public place first. getting fatally wounded can always come later!
craigslist is mostly bad news. I'd rather throw my stuff in the East river than to deal with that list.
thankfully Pb is still available.
the victim was black, this was on the late news.
Craigslist + Coney Island = Trouble
Hahahaha.
*wipes tear from eye*
Ha! HAHAHAHA!
Rule #1. Always meet in a public place with lots of people when meeting someone online.
and if a tall gentleman emerges from a curtained doorway, leave immediately.
what about a tall chick?
#5 What is so funny about this?
#1 don't be so quick to make assumptions. the guy who got killed was black. his photo's in the daily news:

Sad.
As a tragically ironic sidenote, the deceased's apartment will soon be available...on Craigslist.
@NannyState
Only if you like having an 87 year old woman as your roommate.
As per the Daily News:
"He was all I had," added his grandmother, Corrine Brandt, 87, at the Williamsburg apartment she shared with him. "
Stupid people dying in stupid ways...what's NOT funny about this?
@#13: Yikes!
