He's a kind, gentle soul who wouldn't hurt a fly. What is up these days? Why is violence so often the reaction of first resort? Regardless of his stupid lawyer's defense strategy; regardless of the beefcake moron's perceived reasons; regardless of almost any other fact contained in this story -- it's the fact that this young, strong, muscular young man felt it necessary to strike a man of the cloth (and not a young one, I might add) with a tire iron (!!!) because ... what? He felt threatened? Absolutely absurd! THAT'S the saddest part of this story. I happen to know Father Marakis. He’s a kind, gentle soul who wouldn’t hurt a fly.

He also claimed the priest was trying to mug him. So, this multitasking priest was trying to mug, molest and blow up Mr. Bruce at the same time. Obviously not even the police believed him, and they aren't the first people to serve and protect "gays" so they didn't think the priest was gay. The beefcake photos indicate he is not uncomfortable in having men look at him as a sex object, which implies the gay panic is more likely merely a made-up excuse. And his promotion of steroids indicates a possible use by himself of the drugs, one of the side effects of which can be rage.
