So much stupid, so little time...
Tampa police: Marine reservist attacked Greek priest he mistook for terrorist

http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/article1050707.ece

TAMPA — Marine reservist Jasen Bruce was getting clothes out of the trunk of his car Monday evening when a bearded man in a robe approached him.

That man, a Greek Orthodox priest named Father Alexios Marakis, speaks little English and was lost, police said. He wanted directions.

What the priest got instead, police say, was a tire iron to the head. Then he was chased for three blocks and pinned to the ground — as the Marine kept a 911 operator on the phone, saying he had captured a terrorist.

Police say Bruce offered several reasons to explain his actions:

The man tried to rob him. The man grabbed Bruce's crotch and made an overt sexual advance in perfect English.

This is one dumb ass jerk off marine.

Read the rest of the article, this Mr. Bruce was a bomb waiting to go off. Sadly, the priest didn't press charges so this means that some other poor bastard needs to get hurt at the hands of this punk before he goes to jail.

Christ in a hand basket.

2. What a jerk.
Trying to save his own ass by making shit up. Sadly, we will probably see more of this in the next few weeks because of what happened at Ft Hood and Fox News claiming it was another terrorist attack.

3. Bruce is more than an idiot - he is a dangerous idiot on drugs
From the link in the OP: "Bruce is a sales manager for APS Pharmacy in Palm Harbor. His blog entries tout the benefits of increasing testosterone and human growth hormones. He was charged with misdemeanor battery in 2007 for hopping over the bed of a tow truck and shoving its driver. He pleaded no contest. Online photo galleries depict him flexing big muscles wearing little clothing."

The Marines do not need a loose cannon like this fool.
