he mob of San Clemente, California teenagers who beat up three U.S. Marines on Memorial Day Weekend will be held accountable for the horrific attack, a law enforcement officer told Fox News on Tuesday.
Off-duty Marines were enjoying time at the beach Friday when they asked a group of teenagers to stop lighting off fireworks because they were being hit with debris. The Marines were then jumped and repeatedly stomped on by a mob of up to 40 people, according to a previous Fox News report. The city’s mayor has denounced the attack with "total disgust and shock."
"This isn't something that happens in San Clemente," Mayor Chris Duncan, D-Calif., told "America Reports" on Tuesday. "We're a very safe city. We’re a military town. It's especially tragic that we have this attack happening over Memorial Day Weekend because we support our troops. We especially support our Marines and we're going to take swift action to make sure this never happens again.
