For those few who haven't heard yet a Marine reservist in Tampa attacked a visiting 5'6" Greek Priest with a tire iron, "assuming he was a Muslim terrorist". Not only did he attack him but actually phoned 911 to brag that he was "detaining" him for police. He was arrested and released on $7,500 bond.

Follow-up Story:
Evidently the assailant also claimed that the suspected terrorist made a sexual approach in plain English and grabbed his genitals. (The assailant is recently married and "straight")

Now appears that this person is a Marine reservist who works for a pharmacy company that among other things treats HIV and that he has an education in "Exercise Science" and Psychology and took a Marine platoon leaders' course.

This speaks volumes about the military, the state of higher education in Florida, and the widespread xenophobia of anyone who "looks" Muslim. More interesting is that the fellow certainly is at least outwardly attractive and a bit of eye candy from his "Mad About the Boy" semi-nude photos:

There's a great line in "Biloxi Blues" that "if that guy has a bit of brains, there is no God."
In the Mad About the Boys comments there's one from Jeff Gannon to "Call Me".
