Is U.S. Marines reservist Jasen Bruce the most deplorable guy here, or his attorney? After taking a tire iron to the head of a Greek Orthodox priest visiting from Crete — who approached Bruce looking for directions — the Marine’s lawyer now says the only reason he went after the Rev. Alexios Marakis is because the priest tried grabbing for his genitals. (He also claimed Marakis was a terrorist, who said “Allahu Akbar” as he approached him.) Police, apparently, aren’t buying it. And the real twist? Bruce knows more about fulfilling the fantasies of gay men than he let on; he’s modeled for AllAmericanGuys.com, a site geared toward gay men.

Sounds like he took the wrong message from Brokeback Mountain.

The best part, he at first claimed the guy was a terrorist, then that the priest hit on him, when they questioned him, he said that the advance was made in perfect English. The priest doesn’t speak English.
The sad thing is, that he actually seemed to think saying a guy hit on him was some kind of a defense. The Marines need to do better psyche screenings.

God, he is pretty.
scott ny'er
omg. he’s never been deployed, so it’s not like he has combat experience or interacted with “terrorists”.
what a dirtbag. Roid rage. Throw the book at him.

LOL @ “This BEARDED individual.” Apparently, not only is claiming to have been hit on by another man an acceptable defense, but the supposed assailant’s having a beard is also a cause for alarm. Also, he’s not that pretty. He looks like he’s got a major case of the dumb.

I’m waiting for some to start calling him a gay hero for going after the “homophobic, anti-marriage equality religious fascists”

To No. 3 Keith Kimmel: If you are joking about finding this hateful creep hot, then you have the sense of humor of a slug. If you’re not joking, then you are so low you need to reach up to tickle a slug. This guy has an average looking face, an ill proportioned body that’s loaded with harmful chemicals, the IQ of a brick, and the sociopathic tendencies of Al Capone. Even if his dick was bigger and more beautiful than Josh Duhamel’s, I’d still rather make out with that mean ugly fat woman who hates gay marriage (the one who sort of looks like The Barefoot Contessa) then get within thirty feet of that pathetic loser of a closet case!

Jeremy,
Glad I’m not the only one who finds that comment disturbing.

Just goes to show that internalized homophobia can make a guy crazy. And, since when do the Marines do “psych screening?

I’m extremely disturbed someone, a so called marine, could physically attack a man of the cloth with such brutal contempt. I actually live here in the building where this crime took place and plan to investigate further. More upsetting, is the published email offered from the leasing department depicting the event and weighing down the offense as some how manner. In addition, offering to those who might desire a more detailed reading of the arrest report at the office. I must admit this is a very quiet area not far from the visiting tourist scenes. This makes me think the priest’s story is more favorable in truth. He probably was lost and his question, asking for direction, is not an uncommon for the area. Men such as this Marine are actually hiding their own personal demons of accepting his own homosexuality.

Clearly too much testosterone in his system. He should have *all* sources of testerone taken away from him…
