A Philippine court on Tuesday convicted a U.S. Marine of killing a Filipino last year after he discovered she was a transgender woman in a hotel in the Philippines while he was on a break after participating in joint military exercises in the country.
Lance Cpl. Joseph Scott Pemberton was convicted 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. He was sentenced to 6-12 years in jail, with time already spent in detention credited, said court clerk Gerry Gruspe.

“The Crying Game” in real life.
“Sentence seems pretty light, unless there are some extenuating circumstances I don’t know about.”
Well, considering the guy seems to have gone into a murderous rage, I am guessing he only found out the prostitute was a man after having been tricked into committing some carnal acts...
Not condoning that, but it is understandable to me how it could happen.
We have an inverted irrational “Justice”(virtue) system which is “null and void”.
We promote evil, vile, mutilating behaviors and call it “Good” and punish the Good for the anger and rage which emirates from people being so disgusting and evil and lying.
Reason is ejected from Just Law (LOL)——we have Rule of Man——and a tyranny.
You’ve lost it Susie.
God is the King over this all; you are not the Queen.
Natural law is not too much; it is too little.
The fellow who spoke of the sentence being light seems to be on target.
You are indulging in the folly of Eden which was to claim to know the extents of good and evil.
Only God the King can administer this and we have to come up to His level — we are not issued a license to drag Him down to ours.
I have a foolproof way to avoid being caught in a compromising position with a male prostitute: Don't engage in compromising conduct with prostututes.
The guy tried to have relations with another guy under false pretenses. Sounds like sexual assault.
Excellent point... Susie’s pontificating sounds a bit hypocritical here. A pox was on both houses. The best thing that would have been possible was to part company, both chastised by conscience.
This is nuts.
Both were being immoral, one was self-deluded as well.
Everyone involved was a sinner. Thats no excuse for yet another sin.
Killing or even violence that risks death is wrong unless there is a physical risk. The Marine fell into the temptation of rage, resulting from an offense against his pride. Pride, of this sort, is a sin. Rage, of his sort, is another sin. That is as much a trap of the Devil as the delusion of sexual confusion.
There ain’t nothing more dangerous than “road-mung”.
There is no right way to do the wrong thing.
AMEN!!!!!
Isaiah 55:8-9King James Version (KJV)
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Amen
In a sane, rational world, you would be allowed and glorified for killing such an evil, immoral, irrational, diabolical person

Caveat Emptor.
He got more than he paid for (literally), as his murder victim had equipment he wasnt expecting.
And you appear to have significant issues, btw, for wanting to glorify the murder of one sinner by another.
Its fraud, but rape?
And self-defense?
All that would be needed in defense is a firm “go away”, not a beating or murder.
As it turns out when looking at the big picture, God is very much bent on mercy at His own expense. The other thing happens only when pushed to extremes in which even salvation’s offer cannot gain a foothold. Or, as a result of offering ourselves willingly to His mission.
Why we don’t all marvel at this and do what we can to love Him in response, is a mystery. Well it is... the mystery of iniquity.
If a guy’s pretending to be a woman and fails to let a real guy know that from the beginning he has to expect *some* reaction when the truth is actually discovered.
“and punish the Good for the anger and rage”
This is not “good”.
This is bad.
This is a submission to temptation as much as to any carnal act.
I’m not condoning the murder, but they were both victims. The tranny tricked the man into something that he probably felt was abhorrent and he most likely felt violated.
