Nearly one month after we told you that two U.S. Marines Corps reservists said they were attacked in Old City on November 17th near the controversial We the People rally, the two suspects and their accusers appeared in a Philadelphia courtroom on Thursday morning.
The marines, Alejandro Godinez and Luis Torres, both testified in uniform ---SNIP--- both marines testified that Keenan, Massey, and approximately ten other people men and women, some masked and some unmasked then began attacking them with mace, punches, and kicks, and calling them nazis and white supremacists.
On the stand, Godinez said that he was bewildered by being called a white supremacist and immediately cried out, Im Mexican! After that, as the attack continued, both men said that members of the group, including Keenan, repeatedly used ethnic slurs, including spic and wetback, against the marines

Does everyone understand?
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised?
Looking at the photo of the perp Tom Keenan he should join Antifat.
I hope these Marines fought back and not simply remain “bewildered”.
It spoils the leftist narrative.
So, of course, the Progressive Media is not interested.
If the Marines had fought back, maybe if they were larger than their assailants and if they had seriously injured someone in the retaliatory attack, pretty sure the Marine would be charged severely, as a Marine could be considered a lethal weapon.
If you are ambushed out of nowhere, out-numbered 5-1, you can be down before you even understand what is happening.

Your use of “bean” here is problematic...
/s
Could be? is!
Great post of info that won’t be widely reported.
I understand that this was a stressful and violent situation. But that response is kinda sad. Because Godinez is not a Mexican. He's a United States Marine.
Makes perfect sense. Antifa isn’t about racism, it’s a violent wing of the Socialists. The German Democratic Workers party that wanted to overthrow the German Republic had it’s violent wing, and the other political party that wanted to overthrow the German Republic had it’s violent wing....Antifa.
NAZI and Antifa are Democratic Socialists and Socialist (Communists/Democrats....doesn’t matter) that like to destroy Republics to put in a ‘better government’.
Just saying, if you read the above it makes perfect sense.
“If you are ambushed out of nowhere, out-numbered 5-1, you can be down before you even understand what is happening.”
Even to a Marine. A surprise attack can catch anyone.
I have been attacked by four or five people at once and put on the ground to be kicked and punched...It isn’t like the movies. You have to cover up and try to get your head together instead of doing roundhouse kicks or something.
I don’t fault these Marines for not kicking the asses of the mob attacking them.
I blame those mob scumbags.
What a couple of pussies. Have to cover their faces. Pussies.
Yep.
> If you are ambushed out of nowhere, out-numbered 5-1, you can be down before you even understand what is happening <
Yep. As Stalin (supposedly) once said, “Quantity has a quality all its own.”
Don’t be concerned. The Marines know what’s going on.
I hate Illinois Antifa.
I swear that if any mob attacks me wearing a mask AT LEAST ONE of them will be going down for a long long time, if not permanently.
Grab the nearest one and throat punch him into ineffectiveness, at least requiring hospitalization. A thumb deep into an eye socket will incapacitate them too. And I do mean DEEP.
Make sure they do not get away unable to be identified. If at least one of them get seriously hurt you can use that to identify the group.
These stupid assholes blocked the thruway once when I was on my way to the airport in Boston. They made me miss my flight, had to pay $150 to change my ticket- had to stay overnight costing me 200 for a hotel, and I missed the next day of work, costing me over $1000 total.
But at home I drive a dodge ram 2500 truck with a nice mild lift kit. I think I would barely notice if they got in my way.
“...If you are ambushed out of nowhere, out-numbered 5-1, you can be down before you even understand what is happening....”
Absolutely. The element of surprise, especially with large numbers, is a terrible situation on the receiving end. These Marines probably stood no chance of coming out unscathed.
That’s why personal “situational awareness” of one’s surroundings is so important these days. It’s almost as important as good shot placement. Most folks walk around totally oblivious to their entire surroundings and what’s going on around them. Personally, I try to avoid places that compromise my safety if I can at all help it. I watch everybody near me the best I can when out in public, especially walking thru large parking lots, getting into/out of the vehicle at fuel stations etc. Some folks would probably say I am really “paranoid”. No, I’m not. I’m staying safe. I conceal carry and keep a loaded 9mm in my pocket in a pocket holster (yes, with one in the tube ready to go). Nobody gets closer than 20’ and my hand in my pocket and already on it. I know from actual past experience that even an old, has-been hippie can cover 20’ in less than 3 seconds. Since I’m not a LEO, I “profile” individuals and do so with absolutely no shame whatsoever. If they even look like they’re gonna cause trouble and closing in towards me, the safety goes off and I’m ready to immediately draw & fire if need be. At age 68, I’m way too old to fight em by hand. I’m just gonna do what I have to do to protect my life as well as my loved ones. I pray to God that it never has to come to that situation, but IF/WHEN it does, I’d rather be prepared and tried by 12 rather than carried by 6.
FWIW, I go to the range at least 1/week..sometimes 2-3 times in nicer weather. Practice, practice, practice....not just ordinary target shooting, but practice safely drawing and firing from the hip at close range. It takes practice to do it right. When under severe duress in a bad situation, it’s even harder to do with one’s fear and adrenaline flow trying to take over control of one’s body. Don’t ask me how I know this.
It’s a damn shame America has come to this....but thanks to the commie lib politicians, unfortunately, it has.
Learn to protect yourself, remain aware of your surroundings at all times and stay safe, folks.
