Nine teenagers have been arrested over the savage beating of three Marines on a California beach over Memorial Day Weekend.
Orange County officials said four boys and one girl were charged with assault with a deadly weapon on Tuesday and held at juvenile hall.
And another four minors were charged with misdemeanor assault and battery, CBS News reported.
The Marines were brutally attacked along San Clemente beach, just south of Los Angeles, by a group of up to 40 teenagers at 10pm on Friday after the service members confronted them about setting off fireworks.
The incident was caught on video and the men, who sustained minor injuries, refused to be transported to a local hospital in the aftermath.
San Clemente Mayor Chris Duncan revealed that deputies have caught the main suspects in the mob of teenagers who launched the attack.
He said: 'They think they have the people they are looking for. Not to say that there might not be a few others out there. They feel pretty confident that they have the main perpetrators.'
Footage of the incident was used to track down those involved, the mayor added.
'In today’s age, you’re going to get caught — people are going to record it,' Duncan said.
'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.'
In the roughly minute-long clip posted to Facebook, the Marines were seen trying to walk up the steps outside the Pier Bowl as a group of teenagers shouted at them.
As they approached the stairs, a male teen was seen brutally punching the back of one of the Marine's heads.

we have one scary younger generation behind us. our society has lost its moral underpinnings in a profound way.
Bastard kids of single moms.
Let us pray now that Roe is overturned that will stop and there will be more children born in marriage
The other 30+ need to face justice, arrest, conviction, and jail. The police should hunt them down like the animals they are.
I wonder how much 40 teens would like being drafted.
FTA: “...I hope this serves as a learning lesson for young folks...”
I’m sorry, but the only way for this to indicate there has been a ‘learning lesson’ would be for these young folks to issue a sincere statement of remorse at the end of a very long time in jail.
Don’t worry...nothing will happent to these 9 criminals. A democrat DA will let them go to commit more crime.
we’ll see - it is Orange County not L A County.
A young mob assaulting Marines. A product of our present culture. Black people need to do something about this.
this has zero to do with abortion and everything to do with lousy parenting.
you don’t even know if these kids came from single parent homes. I did not see that anywhere in the article.
plenty of married couples are laisee faire with their offspring.
I recommend a court ordered enlistment.
I would posit that the coarsening of American society and lack of respect for all life, (babies, elderly, animals) is a direct result of liberal abortion policies.
If life is no longer sacred, nothing else natters.
And grow up into respectable, responsible democrats.
whatever.
I just know that i will click on an article i am interested in, and someone throws abortion into the mix.
And hey, they are not Amish.
Amish are farmers that live in the country. They usually stay to themselves.
These were negro kids.
Just in case anyone here is confused.
This is from 6 years ago and was prophetic back then. We’ve rapidly devolved to that point. It’s here.

I agree. There are so many absent parents out there. As long as the kid is not bothering them or require any effort on their part from day 1 almost, they feel they have done their job. All 39 or 40 kids need to be arrested, charged and hauled before a judge. Maybe not all spend time but the main ones should spend some time plus ALL should pay. The Marines should sue every family for damages. Maybe mom and dad would pay some attention then
I know I stand athwart the tide here but Memorial Day is not a day to celebrate with fireworks. It’s a day to honor those who gave all and those who served. Quiet reflection makes more sense than skyrockets and cherry bombs.
Whatever.
That was my first thought but after looking closely at the video it looks like the feral teens were white and/or hispanic.
