A white Marine was severely beaten, stabbed, and robbed in California after the George Zimmerman verdict. The San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office is reportedly considering the savage beating gang violence, but individuals claiming to be the parents of the injured 29 Palms Marine in online posts, feel their son’s attack was a racially motivated hate crime.
Local radio station KCDZ 107.7′s crime report about the white Marine stated that the altercation took place around 2 am on Ocotillo Avenue. The radio station also noted that the attack involved about 20 to 30 people. The online pleas by the unconfirmed parents to share the story of what happened to their son maintain that approximately 15 to 20 black youths attacked the Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps, another white Marine and a left their civilian black friend go unharmed. The African American friend reportedly attempted to help his friends and stop the attack, but he was vastly outnumbered.
The white Marine attacked after the George Zimmerman not guilty verdict in the Trayvon Martin murder trial was reportedly stabbed and hit repeatedly with a tire iron. He was transported to the Desert Hospital in Palm Springs for emergency treatment.
An excerpt from statements made by the Marine’s alleged parents reads:
“After being beaten with a tire iron by a mob of 15 plus black men, [he was] stabbed in the chest and kicked unconscious and robbed. This fits the criteria for attempted murder along with a hate crime.”
The large group of men accused of attacking the white Marine from 29 Palms allegedly noticed the three friends sitting on a porch having and smoke and chatting. The attackers were reportedly carrying batons and at least one tire iron. One of the Marines was reportedly able to break free and run to get help for his incredibly outnumbered friends.

Do you think the attack against the white Marine after the Zimmerman verdict was gang violence or a hate crime?
Do you think the attack against the white Marine after the Zimmerman verdict was gang violence or a hate crime?
Yes.
It was black-on-white crime, so there is no way the InJustice Department will prosecute this as a hate crime - blacks can’t be guilty of hate crimes, don’t you know. In the same manner, gays who desecrate churches and assault ministers and priests because of their religious beliefs on homosexuality are never charged with hate crimes.
Nah, it was a “I really like you” Crime.
If no apparent reason can be found for the attack other then the Marines being white, then 'hate crime' charges are applicable.
A group of 20 blacks milling about at 2am? Where's the cops?
At the very least, destruction of government property.
Looking at that picture was like looking at the George Zimmerman photo.
Either way - they both be creepy ass crackers and deserved a beat down..
Justice for trayvon.

Wonder if Nancy ‘the mouth’ Grace has any inclination to go off about legitimate racism and thuggery.
I somehow doubt it.

Too bad the Marines weren’t armed.
This would have been a good time to take out the trash.
True, while the motive may be hate, a crime is a crime is a crime.
Had it been 12 gang members against 1 Marine, it would have been an even fight. Fifteen is too many.
I think those “people” better hope that the victim doesn’t recognize them! I can see a little Marine hunting party in the future.
Probably both, but these dirt bags need to be careful who they tick off. I know Marines can be tough dudes, and the next time, they might show up with automatic weapons.
It used to be, in the “Old Corps”, the base commander would give off base liberty to all his Marines to see that this never happened again. Back in the 50’s, the base commander at Camp LeJeune threatened to give liberty to the entire 2nd Mar Div and march through the town of Jacksonville with fixed bayonets.No more problems after that.
And all this is about is a kid who didn't like being told what to do or observed because he didn't believe he had to live by any rules or respect anyone and his actions in attacking George Zimmerman proved that.
But of course, Zimmerman didn't have a right to protect his life or his head which probably would have continued to get pounded into the concrete.
You mean "LOOKED AT" like this?
Maybe the rest of the Marines should have been let out to find these savages.
And these FnPunks will get away with it. Many more to come.
