Hunter Antonio, one of the self-described Marines, told KCAL the fight began when he told the teens to stop lighting fireworks“

The Mexicans in Denver used to light fireworks at night all summer. Combat veterans have described fireworks as triggering, and not in a snowflake way. These “marines” don’t seem like combat vets but maybe they’re sympathetic to other marines who come back to the world and get jumpy around explosive noises.

The fight started when a little Mexican came up from behind a guy who was walking away and punched him in the back of the head, then quickly ran back into the Mexican’s crowd. That’s two dishonorable actions right off the bat. So when the punched guy turned around, he should’ve realized he was dealing with dishonorable people and understood that he needs to be able to beat them all down to make it worth engaging with the one Mexican who sucker punched him. If he’s not that good of a fighter (few are), he should’ve kept walking away from the crowd instead of charging in to try to get the one Mexican.
