Oooh! Hot Bigot! Marine Model Mistakes Greek Orthodox Priest For Gay Terrorist, Beats Him

As we said earlier this week, we appreciate it when hot guys don’t let their mouths ruin their faces. But for All American Guys model, Jason Bruce, did much more than just put his foot in his mouth; he put it on the neck of a Greek Orthodox priest. Rump Roast has the deets:

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 (four times). 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.

When officers arrived, police say, Bruce told them he heard the man say “Allahu Akbar”—Arabic for “God is great.” “That’s what they say before they blow you up,” Bruce said, according to police.

McElroy said Bruce “teared up when we told him that (Marakis) was a Greek Orthodox priest and not a terrorist.”

Wow. What a fuckwit! But it gets better. It turns out that the “terrorist” he beat up was a 29-year-old Reverend Alexios Marakis, a visitor from Crete, Greece who was lost in the Channel District and needed directions to Interstate 275. Marakis was wearing a robe, sandals and a long beard and spoke broken English.
So now, Bruce has changed his story saying that the Greek Orthodox priest grabbed his cock and propositioned him in shitty English—y’know, because Bruce is just so fucking hot. His muscles and buzz cut can tempt a man of the cloth to betray everything he believes just to score some street meat. But the “gay panic” defense (which sometimes works, sadly) isn’t helping Bruce at all.
Whether Bruce beat up Marakis thinking he was Arabic or a fag, it’s still a hate crime. So Bruce, 28, now faces a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He was released on $7,500 bail. Even though Bruce has never seen active combat, the Marine reserves have promised to look into it after the criminal proceedings have concluded.
How odd that a guy posting pictures of himself on a soft-core gay site would use the “gay panic” defense—it’d be all too easy to say that Bruce is gay, but he’s definitely deranged. Maybe it’s a case of pot-kettle-black and Bruce thought the good reverend hot, grabbed his package, and when the reverend started running, he had no choice but to pummel and lie on top of the guy so he wouldn’t tell anyone. After all, dry humping’s better than no humping at all. Either way, we hope they throw the book at Bruce. It’s too bad, he’d be a hell of a lot hotter if he weren’t such a bigoted asshat.
