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

#5 oh...the marine may have "shoved" someone. So by all means, throw fireworks at them and then beat them down with a mob. Totes legit as the feral "lockdown yutes" are releasd onto the populace this summer. Enjoy.

#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.
