From there, an argument ensued between the Marines and the crew of the man in the white hoodie. All hell broke loose when the man in the white hoodie decided to swing on the Marines, which turned out to be a bad choice.
The video shows a chaotic scene of punches, kicks, and shouts, as the Marines and the civilians exchanged blows. One Marine got punched several times, but was still able to win the fight. As the Marines got the upper hand of the situation, likely because of their rigorous training, police intervened before the situation got worse. Some reports claim that one person was arrested, but more charges could be coming for people involved.

Some of the civilians could also claim self-defense, as they were defending themselves from the Marines after their friend took the first punch. The final verdict could could go one way or the other depending on who is calling the shots, and how they want the state of Texas to be perceived.
Based on the video the man in the white hoodie threw the first punch at the group of the marines, which is highlighted in the picture below.

The Marines could be charged with conduct unbecoming of an officer, or even dishonorably discharged, depending on the severity of the incident. The fight could also tarnish the reputation of the Marine Corps, as it could be seen as a sign of poor discipline and professionalism, even if they weren’t at fault in terms of what sparked the chaos.
