Florida Marine reservist attacks Greek Orthodox priest with a tire iron for asking for directions. The reservist, who evidently has never seen combat, also claimed that the priest yelled "Allahu Akbar!" and made a pass at him.

Racism, religious bigotry, and homophobia. Niiice. I wonder how long it will take before the Marines toss him out on his overdeveloped ass for bringing dishonor to the uniform?

I'm angry at the guy, but I also couldn't help laughing at the stupidity of his defense. I certainly hope no jury has enough stupid people that they won't know those words weren't gonna be coming from a Greek Orthodox priest's mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that the priest was injured, this would almost be funny.
