Marine goes to wild party with at least four low life thugs in it. What could go wrong???

The article does not state that he was attending a party with these thugs, just that he ran into them in the parking lot of the complex:

Gamble, of Acworth, Georgia, was attending a friend's birthday party in the Concord Chase Apartments near Smyrna on March 25 when he got into an altercation with a group of men in the parking lot, according to investigators.
