I love and respect the Marines more than any branch, but they were simply out-matched. It happens.

Rules of Engagement: Marines have to fight with one hand tied behind their back.

Story also appears in the Daily Mail:

Wild footage shows mob of up to FORTY teenagers jump three marines on a California beach before unleashing savage beat down on Memorial Day weekend after they were called out for unruly behavior"

"Teenager" has replaced "youth" as the preferred code word.

Had the races been reversed, headline would read: Forty WHITE Teenagers Beat Down Three Black Marines.
