In a shocking incident over Memorial Day Weekend, a mob of San Clemente teenagers in California attacked three U.S. Marines who were off-duty and enjoying time at the beach. However, justice will prevail as the law enforcement authorities have promised to hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions, according to a statement provided to Fox News on Tuesday.
The Marine Corps personnel had approached a group of teenagers and politely requested that they stop setting off fireworks due to the debris hitting them.

According to LA Times, the severity of the attack left the city's mayor, Chris Duncan, expressing his "total disgust and shock" and emphasizing that such incidents were unheard of in San Clemente.
