According to one article I read, supposedly, the diplomatic staff had been removed prior to the attack. They had been forewarned of a demonstration by protestors. The article also said “U.S. security guards” fired a volley of shots as a warning to the crowds outside the wall. Wouldn’t those guards have been Marines? Haven’t heard anything about any further shots being fired, and it appears none were if the scumbags were able to breach the wall and take down our flag. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they replaced our Marines with muzzie guards.
The Muslim dominated states have a centuries long history of murdering diplomats and looting of embassies. Iran murdered Russia’s Ambassador and nearly the entire staff of the Russian Mission in 1829. The assaults on a assortment of foreign embassies has continued and become more frequent since then. See for example the report from Foreign Policy:

Some of the latest news reports indicate Ambassador Stevens and his staff and U.S. Marines were betrayed to the Muslim mob by their own Libyan secirity detail.
