Was this anything like what happened in The Crying Game? Did this pervert try to fool the Marine? If any dude masqueraded as a woman with *me* I very probably wouldn’t have killed him but I certainly would have made him wish that he had died as a child.
Having traveled in SE Asia (but never having been arrested) I can easily imagine that being in prison there...particularly as a Westerner...would be a noticeably unpleasant experience.
When shedding its crocodile tears over the deaths of transgender “women,” the media omits the fact that most of them die as a result of their dangerous lifestyle, usually working as prostitutes. The men they pick up don’t take kindly to discovering the exaggeratedly feminine hooker they’ve chosen is in fact a man.
Why the hell was he pardoned? He was there in jail only a few years for killing a trans!
There must have been a corrupt quid pro quo that we don’t know of.
RE: The men they pick up don’t take kindly to discovering the exaggeratedly feminine hooker they’ve chosen is in fact a man.
Still does not excuse murdering a human being!
He should have stopped short of killing or causing great bodily injury. Then, other than the “date,” knowing the details, he should have kept the “surprise” to himself and no one else would have known about it.
Whatever. Anytime you surprise someone with a penis, you are risking your life. Flasher on a trail can be shot on sight by any woman and she won’t even be charged.
The poor guy clearly thought it was a homo rapist and had to defend himself.
“He should have stopped short of killing or causing great bodily injury. “
Probably hard to remember to do in the middle of a fight.
So it was all the victim's fault?
Omigod. Olongapo city. That brings back really bad memories. What a shythole.
Back in 1979-77, I was assigned, every 6th day, to accompany the US Navy Shore Patrol in Olongapo City as the USMC representative, whenever our battalion was in port at Subic Bay. Olongapo had about every sexual perversion known to man back then. I suppose several dozen new perversions have been invented in the past 40+ years.
When our battalion was back on Okinawa, we had a young enlisted Marine "roll" a drunk Okinawan man. I was assigned to be the observer for the USMC and the USA at his trial. Their country, their law, their citizen, so we had no say - just observe. IIRC, he may have had a USMC JAG officer as an advisor, not legal defense. The "word" was that unless you had someone bringing you additional food, you might not survive a two year sentence...
"Keep your nose clean"
You weren’t “Bearcat Charlie” patrolling off the Esso Plant north of Namo Bridge in 1969 by any chance?
The girly boys of Japan/Philippines/Bangkok etal were there during my period (50s/60s) but since there was such a ‘fight’ for the money the bars wouldn’t allow them to work so if one stuck to the ‘B girls’ there was less chance of being ‘fooled’.
I have had girls point ‘them’ out to me and some of them looked almost genuine.
If I remember correctly the police kept them pretty much under control but ‘they’ are a different breed as during the early part of my service, ‘do funnys’ in the Navy were there and some were bold enough to make advances aboard ship which was really dangerous cause if one were to pick the wrong ‘victim’ a midnight swim may be in order or at least a trip to the showers with kaya brushes and a blanket party.
THEN - if they got ‘caught’ it was off to the brig where the Marines had special treatments.
Like the enlistee once said..
When I came in in the 50s being a ‘fag’ was a DD and Brig time waiting for you.
In the 60s, they introduced ‘kinder, gentler’ punishments so I got out before it became ‘Mandatory’.
I hope this Marine does not seek out prostitutes anymore.
I believe Duterte hates anything gay & trans. That could be why.
Methinks he doth protest too much.

Yep, Rape by fraud...Not Guilty.
Nope. Was Navy. We walked from the base to the TopHat Bar and back in groups. No side trips. Fortunately my Destroyer was only there briefly 3 times for fueling and ammo.
What a shythole. It may be the worst place in the world.
