<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nA choir director charged Marine Colonel Joseph Murray with using his “I will kill you face” and knife hands in an encounter near Quantico Marine Corps base in Virginia, according to USA Today<\/a>;<\/p>\n An inspector general\u2019s inquiry found merit in DeSilva\u2019s complaint that Murray had intimidated her when he confronted her in a rage, but could not determine if he had broken the law. The Marines also found \u201cno probable cause supporting any misconduct\u201d by Murray or the investigators in the case of Father Kieran Mandato, according to a Marine Corps spokesman.<\/p>\n The church flap joins a growing list of problems at Quantico, known as the \u201cCrossroads of the Marine Corps,\u201d involving allegations of sexual harassment and a toxic work environment. The base is about 30 miles south of Washington.<\/p>\n DeSilva and Mandato, a retired Navy chaplain and former contract priest at Quantico, said in interviews that Murray\u2019s actions had terrified them. The incidents arose from disputes about payments to Mandato, a roster of parishioners he had at his home and perceived personal slights from the pulpit.<\/p>\n DeSilva in her complaint to the inspector general said, \u201cWhile it may be appropriate for every Marine to have an \u2018I will kill you face,\u2019 it is not appropriate to use that face on a 52-year-old female choir director in church.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI feared for my life,\u201d Mandato said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, apparently, folks can construe facial expressions as assault. The investigators found “No probable cause supporting any misconduct” by Colonel Murray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
