Marine Hero: I Was Attacked at DC McDonald's Because of My Skin Color
2016-02-19
[INSIDER.FOXNEWS] A decorated U.S. Marine who was beaten and robbed at a Washington D.C. McDonald's said this morning that the attack was a "hate crime."

Veteran Marine Sgt. Christopher Marquez, who earned a Bronze Star for his heroism in Iraq, spoke out today in an exclusive Fox and Friends interview.

Marquez said that four or five males - along with at least one female - asked him if "black lives mattered" to him as he was eating last Friday.

He said at first he ignored the group, thinking they were just teens being rowdy.

#17  Long past time to start putting more punks like this in the ground.

And I don't mean they would be dead at the time.....

Take a deep breath.

#14  If it was a bash and grab steve, why all the comments inside the McDonalds first about Black Lives Matter. Most common street muggings lack the racial baiting preview!

#13  Re #9: no, it sounds more like a bash and grab by a bunch of mouthy young punks.

Re #10: why yes, I was wondering that myself.

#9  The video makes it very clear he was attacked from behind by the first black kid and went down hard, then the next two kicked him repeatedly while another knelt down to take wallet or watch and yet another black hero kicked him again while hopping like he just made a basket. Pure race hatred crime.

#8  Not all black lives matter, apparently.

#7  Did they give him a chance to respond to the question: "Do black lives matter?" In this case probably they don't matter much.

#6  That makes a bit more sense, Rambler, but I thought Marine heads were so hard they don't need helmets?

#5  Glenmore, as I understand it, he was stuck in the back of the head as he walked out.

#4  Was he a disabled Marine vet? Otherwise how could a half dozen punks beat him up without at least a few needing hospital care?

#3  White people rioting and burning down the McDonalds in 5, 4, 3....oh, wait. Never mind. It's a dog bites man story.
