The wife of a Marine started to document the incident as the man ridiculed deceased veterans and disparaged the military for their service. In spite of his hostility, the Marines maintained their composure and did not allow themselves to be incited.

However, the situation escalated when the man spat in a Marine’s face, an act of disrespect and aggression that was unacceptable. It was at that moment he realized the repercussions of such behavior.

The event rapidly gained widespread attention, inciting anger throughout the nation. A significant number of Americans are calling for legal action against the protester for his behavior, particularly for spitting on a member of the armed forces.

Should he be held legally accountable for this assault? The discussion persists, yet public opinion has largely favored the Marines.
