It is a good thing that those Marines were there to assist the perp up from the curb. He could have been hurt worse.

Frankly, I don't care. Perhaps the politically correct story is the fabrication.

God Bless the United States Marine Corps!!

years ago in San Antonio, thieves broke in to a warehouse for Elf Louise, who gives toy for underprivileged children at Christmas. After a culple of days, police announced they could not find the thieves, so announced on the radio, paper, and TV, the local Marine 4th Recon battalion was activated TO "FIND" AND "INTERROGATE" THE MISCREANTS..ln less THAN 2 HOURS THE THIEVES GAVE THEM SELVES UP TO POLICE AND THE TOYS WERE RECOVERED 100%. A US MARINE GUNNY WAS "SORRY" THE POLICE DID NOT LET THEM "INTERROGATE" THEM... True story! AFAIK, no toys have ever been stolen again from Ms. Elf Louise.. Food for thought. :lol::
