Stunning video has appeared online revealing a mob estimated at 30-40 teens attacking and beating three Marines.
According to the Daily Mail, one of the Marines, Hunter Antonio, said the mob assault happened after he confronted the teens about being unruly, and setting off fireworks on the beach in San Clemente, California.
The report described the footage as "horrific" and explains the mob was "unleashing [a] savage beat down."

The report said the victims explained they were walking along the beach over the Memorial Day weekend before the attack.

"Frightening video posted online showed two victims curled up in the fetal position on the ground as the crowd continued to kick them, hurling profanities and racial slurs. A third Marine was also attacked but not shown in the footage," the report said.
Minor injuries were reported.
Eventually, two unidentified people passing by told the teens to back off, and deputies from Orange County soon arrived.
An investigation was under way and the teens, if identified, could face felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
The attack apparently started when a male teen was seen punching one of the Marines in the back of the head. An all-out brawl followed and the teens shortly had circled the Marines, cursing them and kicking them.
Antonio explained the Marines were taking rare time off from Camp Pendleton, and he asked the teens to leave when they were setting off fireworks and a piece of debris hit him in the face.
"They were being belligerent and obnoxious and annoying other people, so I went up to them and told them to stop," he said, according to the report.
San Clemente Mayor Chris Duncan said, "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."
The sheriff's office said patrol checks in the area have been increased.
IMPORTANT NOTE: “Election denier!” “Science denier!” “Climate-change denier!” “Conspiracy theorist!” And then there’s “hate speech,” “fake news,” “disinformation,” “misinformation,” even something called “MALinformation.” A bizarre new lexicon has been conjured up by America’s elites, the SOLE PURPOSE of which is to discredit and ridicule – and if at all possible, CENSOR ENTIRELY – speech that doesn’t support their increasingly dark and deranged agenda. Tucker Carlson is just the latest.
In the greatest imaginable irony, the nation once boasting the most robust culture of freedom of speech and the press – undergirded by the strongest constitutional protections for those rights – is now ground zero for a total war on free expression.
How could this possibly happen in the United States of America? It’s all explained as never before in the sensational new issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE ELITES’ ALL-OUT WAR ON FREE SPEECH.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
