"Jasen Bruce, 28, enlisted as a reserve Marine as a teenager, was discharged honorably when he finished his contract, and enlisted again this March. He has never been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, a Marine Corps spokesman said. He got married last month in full dress uniform."

Pitiful and hysterical all at once.

Marines...God damn they're stupid.

At least the story turned out OK. The dumb Marine will go to jail, and a foreigner learned a valuable lesson about learning English.

Seriously, I'm going to knock up some young lady and name the fetus "The Chapel". Then have super late term abortion. Not saying, just saying...

Why didn't the headline say, "Queer Beats Greek"?

Stupid Reservist. Imagine if he had a gun in his hands!

wonder why the U S lost in Iraq and is losing in Afganistan?

Listen, everyone--it's very simple. If the guy isn't a Muslim, he's not a terrorist.

"Bruce responded by hitting him with a tire iron, chased Marakis for three blocks, pinned him to the ground and told a 911 operator he'd captured a terrorist."

Good Lord. He probably expected a medal! Why does it not surprise me that it was in Fla.?

Queer Beats Greek. Just as valid as calling him anything else.

The link didn't work for me.

What's the harm? Ay-rab, Moooslim, Greek, dude with a beard, priest in a robe, guy with a tan, confused traveler - is there really a difference? There's always time to clarify the situation later. Beat them with a tire iron now, just in case.

SNIPER -

Someone should explain to this so call MARINE, what the Hell we are fighting for in Iraq, an other Wars throughout our History. DEMOCRACY YOU DUMB FUCK, not your rights to be a Bigoted, Racist Asshole....Pathatic piece of Shit does not belong in the services much LESS the MARINES............

The link didn't work for me.

you WOULD look, wouldnt you

I think somebody should explain to you the difference between "an" and "and".
You're really stupid.

I think the bigger question is how can a greek priest get hit by a tire iron and then outrun a marine for 3 blocks?

Excellent question.

"Listen, everyone--it's very simple. If the guy isn't a Muslim, he's not a terrorist."

Meh, Greeks pretty much hate us too.

Bruce should claim pre-emptive altar boy protection as his defence.

I have nothing against you Sully.

Wow that site is seriously disturbing Doc. Seriously if my junk were as shrunken as this idiot marine I would not post underware shots.

Why does Hag always get slammed on abortion?

Just idle thoughts this thread brought up.

"Why does Hag always get slammed on abortion?"

That's just Chappy, but I don't know where he gets his ideas from either.

Hysterical. I guess there's a difference between reserve and active duty.

"I have nothing against you Sully."

I have nothing against you or any Greek person I've ever met.

But there is a history in Greece of US businesses - or most recently our embassy - being attacked

Holy shit:

Mmmmmhmmmm. His photo in the article does him no justice... then again, he couldn't catch the priest after hitting him with a tire iron, I bet that six pack is gone too...

HOLY BLOGSPOT!

This makes his "he tried to grab my junk" defense all the more hilarious.

I wonder if this guy snapped due to 'roid rage.

clearly a case of unbalanced, exclusively anaerobic training. Many people make the same mistake. Aerobic is the way to go! Comes in handy when you need to chase bearded and bloodied Greeks in the Florida heat.

madness takes its toll...again

I ran across it seeing if I could find some background on this guy, typed in "Jasen" and "Bruce" on Google and this site madabouttheboys.blogspot.com came up. Maybe if I break it up and you put it together it'll work: after the http-colon-slash-slash it's "madabouttheboys.blogspot.com" a slash "/">" then "madabouttheboys.blogspot.com" a slash "" and "2008" another slash "/" the number "10" another slash "/" and then "jasen-bruce.html"

I clicked on the link you posted and it didn't work. Getting a little touchey, are you?

But then, I shouldn't expect a civil answer out of you.

"I shouldn't expect a civil answer out of you."

WTF is the matter with you, Snoops? How was mine not a "civil answer"? You said the link didn't work and I explained, step-by-step, how to make it work. Based on your subsequent comments it appears you either got it to work -- a simple "thank you" would've sufficed -- or the "Mad About the Boys" blog is one you'd already burned into your "Favorites" files.

Honestly, fellers... I think the only problem with the link was an extra period at the end. Sheesh.

Seriously, how many times did this guy sleepover at the WH with GWB and the love gannon?

LM

LM I'm wondering how many times that fellow slept over at the WH O'Loudmouth?

// Just had to find a way to get a Greek dessert into the posting

.. An exterior surveillance video of Tuesday's chase captured the two men in motion, said Tampa Police Department spokeswoman Laura McElroy:

"You see a very short, small man running, and an enormous, large muscular man chasing after him."

This is what police say happened at 6:35 p.m. Monday:

The priest's GPS gave him the wrong directions, leading him off Interstate 275 and into downtown Tampa. He followed a line of cars into a garage at the Seaport Channelside condominium to ask for help.

He found Bruce, whose back was turned, bending over the trunk of his car, and he tapped his shoulder before saying, in broken English, "please" and "help."

That's when Bruce reached for the tire iron. Police say that by the end of the chase, he had hit the priest four times. ..

Is there any way to sue the GPS manufacturer or data-handler? What a crappy result from bad advice.

Semper Assholis? Absolutely Prefect Fucking Name!!!

If this had happened in Iraq or Afghanistan then Marine reservist Jasen Bruce would have been declared a "Hero",given a 2 bit medal and Father Alexios Marakis would have been arrrested,tortured then sent to Guantanamo Bay and there abused and tortured over and over again by the US Military! Thems the Real Facts Jack!!!

But then again if I saw a Greek Priest in Iraq or Afghanistan I would be SURE he was up to no good. Thereby warranting the trip to Gitmo.

Xenophobia strikes again.

#42---"he tapped his shoulder"----as usual everybody's jumping to conclusions--- maybe he didn't tap his shoulder.

Okay, who do you believe: the guy who is beaten and could easily press charges, or the guy who lied to police and went violent on a "terrorist"?

Even if he touched him inappropriately the violence from Bruce indicates he's unstable at minimum.

This is straight out of a Carl Hiaasen novel.

Or Elmore Leonard.
