Just to update this story, Boxers, a gay sports bar chain that posted (and then deleted) tweets highly critical of Al Sharpton and Mayor de Blasio after the murder of two NYPD officers in Brooklyn on Saturday, now claims they were hacked:

Note: The tweets were deleted last night, but they’re just now aware of it?
We would like to apologize to our followers & the LGBT community, The previous tweets do not reflect our view as our account was compromised
