Gorn's Riddle
A simple arragement
Of particular events,
From one
In ixty-four.
Said particulars, described:
A tro of vigilantes,

Others quite sainly.
A howl of death,
A himper of dogs,
Drawn.
More?
Unnecessary, dubtless.
Thirtee in,
Demise.
One?


Answer: the murder of Kitty Genovese

Guesses from 8537 - OVER NINE THOUSAND!!! 9368


Clues: Letters missing spell 'W-I-N-S-T-O-N.'

". . . It does have to do with Watchmen... Sorta..."

The questions 'What is the riddle describing?' and 'Who is one?' are both being asked: the riddle is describing the 'one'.

"The lines 'A howl of death,/A himper of dogs,' refer to two separate things."

Is the 'one' a son, a twin, or both? No

Is the answer to the riddle tangible? I'm not really sure how to classify it.

Is the answer to the riddle just one word or is it several? Usually multiple, but I suppose it could be stated as a single word.

Does the clue in the missing letters have to do with the 'one' being moral, or virtuous? Because I was looking at them and the arrangement 'won't sin' popped out at me. No

Does the answer have anything to do with Star Trek? Not really
