    I grew up in proximity to Camp Pendleton and plenty of the locals have spent years watching aggro marines start shit at the bars and restaurants. Kinda like how Okinawans hate the occupiers

      Weird how this history of stirrring shit up isn't mentioned, but whenever a POC or homeless person is at the center of an incident the media will bring up criminal records and statistics at lightspeed.

      Imagine getting stationed next to the avocado capitol and not just getting some fresh guac and chilling. Nah, gotta get blind drunk and prove MCMAP is a shitty martial art by getting my ass kicked.

      This is why the British used to shanghai men out of the gutters and ship them off to distant lands. Go be violent freaks to the natives and not our people.

        shanghaiing had less to do with public weal than enforcing indentured servitude on desperately needed labor pools. sailor's inherent 'criminality' was just fabricated to give owners excuses to limit the agency of workers whose greatest crimes were generally protesting work conditions by skipping out on contracts.

        promiscuity, belligerency, and alcoholism were not particularly more pronounced in sailing labor than terrestrial labor but the former was more important to business and empire and so warranted different legal codes and myth-making

    "This is considered an assault with a deadly weapon because of the amount of suspects we are investigating," said Orange County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Frank Gonzalez.

    Zoomers are deadly weapons now.

      broke: "I had to register my hands as weapons with the government because they're so deadly"

      bespoke: "Marines are so terrified and scared of my friends and I that our generational cohort is now a deadly weapon"

        ADW can be extremely silly as a category, things like shoes and even just the body can be classed as a deadly weapon, the actual factor usually is how injured the victim was. You're exactly right. Given that the marines weren't injured, by definition it cannot be ADW.

        There are things like knives and guns that are considered "deadly weapons per se" by some states, but those weren't present here, and that doesn't necessarily result in ADW if the victim isn't injured, just that there doesn't need to be evidence that the assailant is capable of causing serious injury.

    Headline is false, the video clearly shows the marine attacking first, then getting the shit kicked out of him lol

    This guy looks exactly like how I'd imagine someone to look who is capable of provoking a group of teens into attacking them.

    Literally no mention of motives or reasons for the attack. Extremely sus lmao

      these type of dudes are always sticking up the tough guy drill sergeant act until 0.4 of a femtosecond after that goes foul on them, and suddenly they become "just an innocent and gentle guy who signed up to do the wrong right thing and these horrible anti-american jerks..." :powercry-2:

      Judging by the fact that the kid who takes a swing at him (and is pulled back by their friends) looks to be crying, in guessing the marine either said some nasty racist shit to them, or maybe roughed them up off camera.

      His reaction of bumrushing a fucking child immediately puts him in "fuck around find out" territory, and the fact that literally everyone then proceeded to kick his shit in tells me he was a total fuckin shitstain who would have got away if he wasn't full of violent rage at children.

    The "Marines" in the video also look like teenagers. Tragically, his isn't some anti-military thing, this is just child on child fighting and these marine dipshits started it. A fight over some kids celebrating with fireworks and some other kids deciding that they wanted to pretend to be cops. Also, nobody was actually seriously injured.

      Who gives a fuck. Why is there some mass of people here whose only defining comments are these play by play deconstructions of anything worth celebrating.

      Sorry if this is aggressive but you're everywhere. It all sounds the same. Look at that bitchass curl up into a ball and cover his eyes literally just enjoy it lol

    Ayyy homeboys represent. Maybe you should try that over in San Luis Obispo if you don't want to get your shit stomped, you fucking leather-neck wanna-be freak. I'll bet they were actually aggressively hitting on the teen girls there. Fuck off back to Pendleton if you can't take the heat, you curly haired psycho.
