[easy-lift guy]

There are many slip and fall accidents here in the states, glad the Marines were able to assist this poor misunderstood person along the way!

[Steve Bullman]

haha nice one. too bad over here the marines would be had up in court

[Lorry thompson]

Love that! He must have fallen over a few times and landed on their boots and fists:lol:

[treedave]

What public spirited marines, very good them to assist the "customer". There's nothing quite as pleasing as natural justice.

[janey]

I don't usually condone violence. I think I can make an exception in this case. The nasty little bullying sh.. well deserved it.

[b101uk]

But then if the marines had some backbone they would have said that the injuries to the assailant happened as a result of them restraining him and individual to had already stabbed one of them and was posing a risk to the others and members of the public.

 

As it stands, saying it was a result of slipping and falling off the curb smacks of something to hide and that the marines as well as the police involved had something to hide which would indicate an inappropriate amount of force, it also brings into question the rest of the story because if lies are tolerated then who is to say that the shop employee didn’t secrete the laptop as a plausible excuse for the marines given the marines & the police have potentially lied and concocted a story of slipping and falling off the curb.

 

After all what US court is going to convict 4 marines who were collecting toys for tots minding there own business when suddenly one of them gets stabbed by a knife wielding assailant fleeing from a shop which they then grab and throw to the ground face down and hold in arm and leg locks for the safety of themselves and the wider public until the police arrive, had they have used that story not a single question would be raised about the facts nor their or the polices honesty would be impugned and the perpetrator would have almost certainly been convicted.
