9 Teenagers Arrested Over Brutal Assault Of 3 U.S. Marines
[DAILYWIRE] Sheriff’s deputies in San Clemente, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, arrested nine teenagers over the brutal assault of three U.S. Marines last Saturday.

San Clemente Mayor Chris Duncan announced that Orange County Sheriff’s Department had charged the teenagers, five of whom were accused of assault with a deadly weapon and the other four with misdemeanor assault and battery.

"They think they have the people they are looking for," Duncan stated. "Not to say that there might not be a few others out there. They feel pretty confident that they have the main perpetrators. ... They had some videotape that wasn’t readily available to the public that had a lot better images of the individuals involved."

"In today’s age, you’re going to get caught — people are going to record it," Duncan continued. "I hope this serves as a learning lesson for young folks in the community not to let themselves get out of control when something like this happens."

As many as 40 young people were involved when the three U.S. Marines near a California beach Saturday night were attacked in a horrific moment caught on now-viral video.

The Marines were enjoying time off from their service at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside at approximately 10 p.m. along the beach in San Clemente. One of the Marines, Hunter Antonino, said a piece of debris hit him in the face, prompting him to ask the group to stop lighting fireworks.

"They were lighting off fireworks, they were being belligerent and obnoxious and annoying other people, so I went up to them and told them to stop," he recalled. Antonio said the group then followed the Marines as they returned to the pier, whereupon Antonio and another Marine informed the group that they were Marines so the group would leave them alone.

Instead, the group savagely attacked the Marines. One individual punched a Marine in the back, prompting the Marine to turn and charge at him, sparking the melee. Video shows two of the Marines lying in the fetal position on the ground as the group kicked them and hurled racial epithets at them. The Marines were kicked in the head and upper body.

Although the Marines were maimed, they refused to go to a hospital, according to Orange County Sheriff’s deputies. Antonio thought he may have suffered a concussion.

"This is San Clemente, Marines are always welcome here, always going to be celebrated, always taken care of, and that is why this is so particularly tragic," Duncan said.

#3 "As many as 40 young people"
Note the determined lack of mention of any ethnic or racial category. It always "youths".

#6 I'm a "law and order" guy thru and thru, but it seems as if the Marines bit off more than they could chew. They were vastly out-numbered and should have just left the beach.

#7 I salute the Marines. Vastly outnumbered, they did not run! They went down fighting.

#8 I doubt if the kids in San Clemente are the type of "feral youts" you might have in mind. Southern Orange County is just not that way. Far more likely these were spoiled white brats, entitled you might say, to do whatever they please. Fueled with beer and marijuana, they ganged up on the marines and beat the crap out of them. Not to say the marines were perfectly innocent in all this. All in all, I would say it was boys being boys in one of the more shameful ways.

Marines in future might be wise to venture into San Clemente in groups larger than just three. But I wouldn't be surprised if the base commander orders them to stay out of San Clemente altogether, at least for a while until things cool down.

#9 Can't imagine anything like this happening in Oceanside.
