I know we are talking about California here...of which I am a resident, but against an out of control mob of 40 plus animals...some probably hyped up on drugs...I doubt any amount of training would have been completely effective. Hand to hand combat against multiple assailants is NOT like the movies. The ONLY solution to this kind of mob violence is a gun! Plain and simple...Too bad one of those Marines wasn't packing (legally of course)! As soon as it looked like they were coming after him, he could have just drew his weapon and it would have been all over and most likely no one would have been hurt. Those punks would have scattered like the nest of cockroaches they are!
