One young punk had to learn a harsh lesson after spitting in a marine’s face.

While a group of Marines arrived to participate in an event at Rocks on the Range in Columbus, Ohio, they figured it would be a great opportunity to share their love for America.

But during the event, one Marine’s wife took out her phone and started recording because a liberal hippie, out of nowhere and seemingly unprovoked, approached the group of Marines and started calling them “m_urderers.”

As he continued to deride the men who put their lives on the line to defend our freedom, the stoic soldiers did not give an inch to the man’s plan to shame them into fighting in the United States military.

But then, in a vulgar display of dissent, the liberal spit into the face of one of the Marines. That’s when he learned why you should never do that.

The video, below, has gone viral and Americans are angry. Check it out and see what came of this liberal hippie punk…

The Marine’s wife, who witnessed everything, was shocked to see this man approach her husband. She had never really thought about what it meant when her husband went to fight t_errorists and the realization hit home

Later the Marine posted his wife’s video with the caption, “guy walked up and spit in my face and another Marines (sic) face.” He next wrote, “Dude almost got his ass kicked,” – and did he or what?

In the video, you’ll see the Marine taking a power position with his arms outstretched as he confronts the young punk.

The young punk turns to leave several times, clearly angry, but the Marine keeps talking to him, trying to intimidate him.

Then at the 45-second mark in the video, the punk approaches another Marine standing off to the side and gets in his face. The original man, who had his arms outstretched in front of him before, walks over and tries to break things up because it is getting out of hand.

He spits in the Marine’s face. Then his brothers in arms walk over and stand in front of him. The liberal avoids a b_eat down when a Columbus police officer walks over and tells him to get away.

Because the Marines didn’t want to resort to vio_lence, the man who got spit in his face, wrote on Facebook: “A big thanks to Columbus P.D and Ohio Highway patrol for assisting,” because they came to break it up.

If the police had not gotten between them, the liberal probably would have wound up on the ground. Why they didn’t just beat him down for spitting in the Marine’s face? I don’t know.

Do you think this thug should have been punished for spitting in the Marine’s face?
