VIDEO RELEASED=> Savage Attack on Marine by Black Lives Matter Thugs–Across from FBI HQ

Video released Thursday by the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C. shows the savage attack by a group of Black men and women on a former Marine at a McDonald’s restaurant located just blocks from the White House and directly across the street from the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Police are seeking three ‘persons of interest’ seen on the video attacking and robbing the victim.

Christopher Marquez was beaten and robbed last Friday night when he was leaving the McDonald’s located at 911 E Street, NW, after he was confronted by a group of Black men and women who harassed him at his table, repeatedly asking him, “Do you believe black lives matter?”

Marquez is a decorated veteran of the Iraq War who was seen in a famous photo helping rescue a wounded Marine in Fallujah that inspired a statue placed by the group Hope for the Warriors at two Marine Corps bases entitled, “No Man Left Behind.”

The McDonald’s surveillance video shows the interior entrance of the restaurant as well as views of the sidewalk outside the entrance.

Marquez can be seen exiting the McDonald’s when a Black man wearing a white ‘wife-beater’ t-shirt sucker-punches him from behind. Marquez collapsed on the sidewalk from the punch.

Several Black people are then seen beating and kicking Marquez as they go through his clothing stealing valuables.

The attack lasted under a minute and took place on a sidewalk right across the street from the FBI Building, which can be seen in the video. No one stopped to help Marquez from those on foot or passing by the scene in cars.

Marquez can be seen being kicked at least twice as he tried to stand up.

An excerpt of the video focusing only on the initial sucker-punch was posted by reporter Matt Ackland to Twitter.

The complete version of the video was posted to YouTube by the MPD. MPD issued a press release accompanying the video.
