Remember this picture? Yeah, the one on the left... Beaten and robbed in the name of Black Lives Matter.


A former Marine became the target of an alleged assault in a McDonald’s Friday night, as a crowd of youths cornered him and demanded he answer the question, “do you believe black lives matter?” Before knocking him unconscious and robbing him.

Christopher Marquez, a veteran of Iraq and recipient of the Bronze Star for valor, said he was dining at a McDonald’s in northwest D.C. when a group of black teenagers came up to him and allegedly began harassing him about the black lives matter movement. Marquez ignored them which prompted calls and shouts that he was a racist.

Marquez left the establishment after eating, but allegedly sustained a sudden blow to the back of his head outside the McDonald’s, which knocked him unconscious. When he woke up, his pants were ripped and wallet gone, which contained $400 in cash, three credit cards, his VA medical card, school identification, metro card and driver’s license.

“I remember this group of teens harassing me while I was eating, they surrounded my table and kept on asking me ‘Do you believe black lives matter,'” Marquez told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Then they started calling me a racist. I can’t recall if they were saying anything else to me at this moment because the blow to my head really screwed up my memory.”

DeAnthony Mason, manager of the McDonald’s, reviewed security footage and told Marquez in a phone call Saturday that when he left the restaurant a teen with a white shirt struck him on the side of the head, knocking him unconscious. The other teens then converged on his incapacitated body, taking his belongings. The head blow Marquez sustained left his memory dazed, but Mason’s review of security footage helped him piece together what occurred.

Upon regaining consciousness, Marquez found a cab driver willing to drive him to his apartment across from American University, where he attends school. Workers in the lobby called the police on his behalf, who took him to George Washington Hospital where he was evaluated for several hours. Medical documents obtained by The DCNF show Marquez was treated for head trauma and an eye contusion.

Credit card transactions reviewed by The DCNF reveal that the assailants charged over $115 on his various credit cards at a liquor store, Five Guys and Walmart. Mason, the McDonald’s store manager told Marquez that police have been looking for the group of teens for a previous incident.

Marine veteran. Combat veteran. Bronze star recipient for valor. Watched his friends die. Now, he's home and attending school. But, because he is white, he is a racist by default.

Too bad he wasn't carrying. Then nobody else would have to go through this. Apparently, this isn't the first time its happened.

It isn't news that some BLM members are violent racists.

It doesn't matter that this dude was a Marine, the act would have been just as egregious if he was a cable repairman.

[gigantes]

what would have been the advantage of him carrying...?

he pulls a gun on them while they surround his table? yeah, that sounds like a happy outcome.

or after getting knocked out from behind, not only is his wallet stolen, but a free gun is available to a bunch of pissed off teenagers? another happy outcome, i guess.

[tomtucker]

I mean, there aren't really members

Just some shitty teens being idiots has nothing to do with blm

Agree with 2nd part. Probably better it was a marine if anything. Much higher chance a marine is a prick than cableguy.

biggest *** on ish for sure.......machoman ? should be pussyman

pretty sure guys i normally argue with, like sajo and indiaman will agree with me that you are the biggest kunt on ish

UK obviously wants those teenagers SHOT DEAD of course :rolleyes:

No but I agree, bad idea all the way around. People act like guns solve problems, they solve nothing they only escalate the danger :lol

True who knows what they are affiliated with besides being dumbasses who were out of line looking for conflict. However, If they claim BLM and say they are part of the movement, I take people at their self claims.


That dude being a Marine who was in war means nothing to me. He signed up for a job knowing what he could possibly have to see. Just because he saw terrible things doesn't mean I respect him more than any other person with a hazardous job.

OP is a clown for thinking war vets are owed any kind of special treatment or adulation.

No foreign conflict or war fought during my lifetime has any bit of difference on me or my family's freedom or security so I don't owe you or any other military member anything other than some kudos for trying to create a life for yourself.

People who feel obligated to shake military members hands and thank them for freedom and shit are dumb asses who drink too much kool-aid. In turn, that mentality makes ppl like OP feel entitled and like they deserve everyone's thanks and appreciation, act like assholes and demand special treatment. Ironically that fosters many 'civilians' to destest servicemen

He doesn't get beaten or robbed? I think he'd prefer that outcome.

Maybe I'm wrong.

some black lives matter...

not all of them

Not at all. I want the violence to stop. Obviously, giving the group hugs didn't work out, so you do what you have to do to end it. I never said he should have shot them, that's you trying to speak for me, as usual.

And since this wasn't the first occurrence, Im guessing it wont be the last either.

Never said they were. Ask me how many times I've ever asked for a military discount.

Hell, 98% of the people I work with don't know I was in the military because I never mentioned it. I have no marine corps bumper stickers, I have no memorabilia except for one American flag in a wooden case and my dress blues.

Sorry to ruin your narrative. :cry:

[Godzuki]

lets not forget Bernie got kidnapped by BLM and now he has Stockholm syndrome.

he even hired a BLM into his campaign afterward :oldlol:

at least hillary lectured them on etiquette and stood strong :applause:

Trump basically dared them to come at him :bowdown:

Any group running around beating people unconscious and robbing them DESERVES to be shot dead.

[UK2K]

Once the beating and robbery occurred, yes, I agree with you.

[ROCSteady]

This one time this group of shady looking Jewish kids asked if I fvked with moses. I tried to ignore them but they whooped my ass and took the 400 bucks I rolled up to McDonald's with. Was bout to fvk up that dollar menu

Damn man forreal?


What the fck is up with groups of overzealous loyalists beating up McDonalds patrons who ignore them around The District?

That shit prolly wouldn't happen in Chinatown though

Ok good for you for not being an entitled ass in public but all your threads have the same partisan tone, with your own narratives unsubtly pounded in.

Your OP implicitly implies that because this dude has seen action and performed well at his job that people should be more outraged than any other American who was a victim of a racially motivated attack.

The rest of America doesn't owe soldiers like this anything. Shit homeland security has more to do with keeping my family safe than Marines on tour. Their government owes them treatment for possible issues but I'm not any more affected by this story that it was a Marine than anybody else. Fck his medals for outrage leverage, that doesn't equate to more or less sympathy for him getting his ass beat and robbed in an unfortunate situation

[Nick Young]

Black men cannot be racist, especially towards evil whities. These brave POC youths were simply punching up.

My OP implies he risked his life for another American (or Afghan allies), and lived to tell the tale. Now he is in our nation's capital, getting jumped, beaten, and robbed for being white.

You can read it with whatever tone you'd like.

I honestly don't care if you like the military or not. I'm not in it, it doesn't affect me, and you have every right to hate it all you want. Do what you do.

[oh the horror]

Moral of the story: stay away from McDonald's.

True that... We all remember this story not that long ago.

[QUOTE]To the four clean-cut college freshman out on a double date, it had seemed like a typical McDonald's: spanking clean, well-lighted, and safe. It was in a good neighborhood too, right next to Texas A&M University in College Station -- a campus known for its friendly atmosphere and official down-home greeting:

I don't hate the military. It's necessary and well operated overall

I hate uneducated, brainwashed ex government whores with big mouths who puff their chest out at bars and think they have an excuse to talk down to people and like they are better Americans because they made a personal choice

[ace23]

All cuz had to do was say "yes" lol

[pastis]

BLM is violent like the white supremacy group?

I hate the same people... trust me, they're far more annoying to me then they are to you. I lived with a lot of guys like that, and I know people who are still like that.

Which is why I have nothing that would lead anyone to believe I was in the marine corps, other than a flag and a uniform. And some tattoos.

[ROCSteady]

Black Lives Matter as a legit activist organization is a joke and fails more and more by the day in gaining respect from outsiders.

They need leadership and figureheads in place who can counteract the many poor displays in public that the media highlights at every opportunity

The world you wish to live in was parodied in south park this last season. Where everyone carries guns and pulls them out on people - but not to shoot them of course. Just to keep the world safer.

[CavaliersFTW]

They're teenagers. They deserve to be punished for their actions, with certainty. Not murdered.

[97 bulls]

The kids that beat and robbed this poor man are horrible individuals. They deserve whatever they get. And yes. I do feel it's worse when criminals attack and harm men and women that are willing to risk their lives for freedom. I wish he would've had a gun. Qnd been able to use it.

[~primetime~]

if they were under age 17...okay, maybe

There should be zero tolerance for beating and robbing, NONE...no wrist slaps given.

If me and four of my friends go to rob you, you'd just let us?

**** man, give me your address then.

Except the manager told him that's what happened, since it was on video.

But yeah they both could be lying. And the hospital. And the police. It's all a conspiracy against BLM.

their closed circuit security cameras had auido?

was he a cop? if so he probably deserved it

True all around.

[oh the horror]

The issue with BLM as a movement is, while its core message is sound and relevant in today's America it (as someone already stated) lacks leadership in position to organize the movement to concrete legitimacy. Instead you get shit like this where it's just some group of kids giving a random white guy shit then jumping him and robbing him.


These kids aren't members out there trying to make a real difference in their communities. Nor do they understand the movement. They're just some punk ass thugs that believe this has given them the green light to be racists AND a walking talking stereotype themselves.

[FillJackson]

Mid-Burger?

[warriorfan]

You're right, he made it all up.

I never said that. I was alluding to the fact that are 2 sides to every story.

Whenever 2 people have a conflict, if you ask each one what happened they will give you two different accounts of the story...that is just how it is

the fact that the mcdonalds employee was able to know what the two parties were saying to eachother based off a low quality closed circuit security camera with no audio is highly dubious

the marine could of called the kids the n word provoking the attack and the mcdonalds employee could of never known by watching the security camera with no audio

your side of the story is one sided and based off a witness who didn't even hear what was said

use more common sense next time

[UK2K]

Giving everyone an update... turns out, the guy was telling the truth. Shocking.

http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/story/military/2016/02/18/dc-police-release-video-assault-decorated-marine-vet/80556684/


Newly released surveillance footage from the McDonalds shows a black male wearing a tank top hitting Marquez in the head as he leaves the restaurant.

Identified as Person of Interest 1, he and at least one other person can be seen kicking Marquez while the Marine vet is on the ground after people have gone through his pants pockets for valuables.

Police are also looking for a black female identified as Person of Interest 2 and another person identified as Person of Interest 3, whose gender cannot be determined from the surveillance video.

This guy deserves to be shot.

[oh the horror]

Even if there were another side to the story, someone being an asshole doesn't justify getting jumped and robbed. How is that even a point of discussion. It's all on video.

[UK2K]

No hate crime, despite bringing up race several times during the back and forth? Shocking.... wonder if a white guy would get the same 'slap on the hand' treatment.

Two 17 year olds have been arrested, but they'll be given a 6th or 8th chance and be set free so they can repeat the process later. This is how we end up with people having 35 arrests on their record, because nothing will ever be done, and there is no fear of prosecution.


BREAKING: Arrests Made In DC Assault Of Marine, Hate Crime Charges Not Pursued

Police on Monday arrested two juveniles for their assault on a decorated Marine in a Washington, D.C. McDonald’s, but have yet to charge either with a hate crime.

Chris Marquez, a decorated Marine veteran, was followed out of McDonald’s and assaulted by a person brandishing a handgun February 12 following a verbal altercation in which Marquez was called a racist.

The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed in a press release the arrests of two 17-year-old black juveniles Monday, one male, one female, for the attack. They were charged with aggravated assault and robbery, respectively. They have not yet been charged with a hate crime, but the investigation is ongoing.

“I am glad two suspects have been arrested, but I am deeply disappointed they have not been charged with a hate crime yet,” Marquez told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Not prosecuting this as a hate crime will only encourage more hate crimes against white people and create further division in this great country.”

[UK2K]

Agreed, black people get off easy in the legal system while white people get fvked by it
Depends on the crime, IMO.

[aj1987]

They're teenagers. They deserve to be punished for their actions, with certainty. Not murdered.
How about some ME punishment? Like 50 lashes? :oldlol:

***** deserve it.

[~primetime~]

17 is not a juvenile in some states, they are lucky


Still, having aggravated assault and robbery on their records should mean they will be locked up for a long time if they do anything as an adult.

Oh really...?


Eric Garner, 43, had history of more than 30 arrests dating back to 1980, on charges including assault and grand larceny.

Remember that guy? Not only did he have both assault and larceny on his record, he'd been arrested 30+ times. You'd think after chance 20 or 25, that maybe someone would say 'this guy probably shouldn't be on the street'.

Guess not. 31st times the charm.

[Dresta]

So what were some saying in the other thread about only white racism having "real world consequences" or some other rubbish?

Way to encourage idiotic incidents like this.
