OLONGAPO, Philippines (AP) — A U.S. Marine has been found guilty of killing a transgender Filipino after discovering her gender in a hotel in the Philippines last year.
Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton was convicted Tuesday of homicide by first strangling Jennifer Laude and then dunking her head into a toilet bowl in the hotel they had checked into after meeting in a disco bar in Olongapo city, northwest of Manila. Court clerk Gerry Gruspe said Pemberton was sentenced to up to 12 years in jail.

Maybe he Flip’d out and cross some line...
Not that it mitigates his actions, but the she was a he.
Forget about Puerto Rico, It’s Clear that The Philippines Should Become Our 51st State. Oh Yeah!

A bad form of bait and switch but not a reason to murder.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: I bet you’re the kind of guy that would f*** a person in the ass and not even have the g**damn common courtesy to give him a reach-around. I’ll be watching you.
Sgt. Hartman wasn’t just a-woofing.
I’m guessing there was alcohol involved and a portion of the transaction had been accomplished when the issue popped up.
My daughter, who is in the Coast Guard, said she was very helpful to her shipmates in Thailand and Indonesia because she could spot the she-males more effectively.
My older brother's best friend when we lived there owned Paulines...
I shouldn’t have poked fun at it. That guy is going to spend 12 years in a stinking Filipino jail.
His life is pretty much over.
I was a Marine and was accosted by prostitutes plenty of times when I left the base. I never partook. I always found that whole prostitution scene kind of sketchy. Plus the women were usually skanky and dirty looking. Some of them could well be men in women's clothing. I had no way of knowing and no desire to find out.
I believe it is caveat emptor in the prostitution world. You hire a prostitute and you take your chances. A lot of them engaged in "smash and grab" in which they had a male parter come into the room, smash you over the head with a baseball bat, and the both of them would run off with your pants and wallet. Or the woman would slip something in your drink that made you pass out.
The Marine in this case should have just left the room and chalked it up as a lesson learned. No excuse to kill the prostitute because he ended up being a man. Now he's going to have to spend a good chunk of his life in jail. And he's lucky that he didn't get life or worse.
Sad thing is, when I was in the Marines, there were plenty of opportunities to meet girls in the normal way and court them like a regular human being. That's how I met the woman that is still my wife today - after 30 years.
Anyone with one functioning eyeball can tell the difference.
The trannies make themselves obvious by the fact that they over compensate.
Most of the bar girls in these places look like what they are, farm girls, single moms for the most part, who grew up in villages and moved to the big city to earn a crust. They are mostly short, dark-skinned, not terribly pretty, dressed frumpily in jeans and t-shirts.
The trannies on the other hand, most of whom have spectacular surgically enganced cleavages, are immaculately turned out, hair and nails done to perfection, elegant dresses and high heels, tall and walking like catwalk models.
So it really shouldn’t take a genius to work out that if you are in a street full of sleazy shebeens full of poverty-stricken country girls and a woman walks past who looks like a finalist in Asia’s Next Supermodel competition then she probably isn’t all she seems.
Sean Young was attractive, totally unrealistic for her to be Finkle!

(Insert Charlie Sheen joke)
Anyway, a sad story, dude gets fooled by a tranny, likely while drunk, freaks out and kills him, and his life is pretty much ruined. Nice of them to give him ‘only’ 6-12 years though, he was charged with “homicide” not murder, if it happened here the left would have sensationalized the case and called for the death penalty. I wonder if “NCIS” will (or has already) rip this from the headlines, it would have been perfect for “JAG”, Commander Raab could have got him acquitted.

There’s the deceased.
Darn, Impy.
I regretted making a joke. Sometimes, FR gets the best of me and I get some kind of gallows humor that just hits my funny-bone, and I forget context.
A man is dead, and another one has his life ruined forever, with all his family and friends in a state of shock, a man they loved will be removed from their lives and changed.
He may have been weak, engaging in drink and plying Olongapo hookers, but he is a human being, and his victim was as well. They were both flawed and weak, and neither deserved it, and lives are ruined and people are grieving.
I really regret having poked fun at it. Damn it.
Sean Young was gorgeous back in the day. Check her out in “Blade Runner”...WBUMCFO back then.
Remember the tranny scene from “Trainspotting”? Begbie!
Speaking of “Trainspotting”, supposedly the sequel is finally going to be made.
Sheen happens:
S’allright. Humor is a balm for these trying times.
And we need some humor. you are so right.
But the days of being able to get away with stupidity and bad judgement seems to be a thing of the past. Nearly any mistake or bad decision you make can end up on the Internet and make you...er..."famous".
A couple of years ago there was a Roger Clemens looking pilot
and a well-built
flight attendant who stumbled off into the woods behind a diner during a drunken stay over and got busted because the busty women was caught butt-naked inebriatedly fumbling around in a Fire Chief's truck looking for a flashlight so she could stagger naked back into the woods to hopefully find her clothes then locate the pilot who was still out there somewhere passed out in the dark.
The Fire Chief called the Police and they showed up to encourage her to show her where the guy was before he froze to death passed out somewhere, only to find out she was so drunk and they had gone so far out into the large forest that they had to use bloodhounds and heat-seeking helicopters to discover his unconscious, splayed and prone figure on the ground with his (and her) clothing nowhere in sight.
This public spectacle impelled the authorities to slap both of them with all kinds of charges ranging from lewd and lascivious behavior to felonious breaking and entering after which the airline decided it had to punish them both by invoking "The 12 Hour Bottle to Throttle" rule (of which they were in obvious violation of).
Their employment with the airline was terminated with the resultant story pasted nearly everywhere on the Internet (which basically means everywhere on earth) so now you are famous in a Twenty-First Century kind of way just because you were doing what comes naturally to humans intensified by and lubricated with boredom, alcohol and lust...
In the past, there might have been some kind of blessed anonymity for the stupid, as we all are, but now...we can all get our fifteen minutes of fame, and not in a good way. I am glad I didn't grow up in the Internet age. Instant video is just too unforgiving.
