Decorated Marine Beaten Senseless BLM Thugs

In a mockery of the movement Black Lives Matter

A decorated Marine vet was by at least four black males to unconsciousness battered

Trying to enjoy some fries and a Big Mac

Taunted by a group expressing asking him if he believed in Black Lives Matter ere the attack

Robbed of cash and credit cards which were used to buy booze

The victim was Hispanic and these thugs had by their taunts expressed  racist views

Marines in combat see only Marines be they black, brown, red, yellow or white

A band of brothers ready to give up their lives to protect each other in any firefight

If the Marine’s skin color would have been black and the attackers white

The media would be on the story non stop through the day and into the night

The DOJ would be heading up an investigation, a sure bet, a cinch

We would be listening the hectoring of Obama and Lynch

But black on black crime or black on white crime

Too often for the mainstream media is not worthy of their time.

All lives matter should be our outraged cry

Violence coupled with bigotry and racism we must defy.
