I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but I have some issues with the claims of who this person is for several reasons:

As a former Marine, this guy is completely out of regulations, not just in small ways, but in really huge NASTY ways. NO self-respecting active duty Marine would dare go in public looking like this. It's my opinion that he borrowed a friend's uniform without their knowledge. There's nothing that would convince me he is either an active duty Marine or even a recently former Marine. NO WAY...
a.) No cammies are allowed to be worn in public off base....period.
b.) He's unshaven.
c.) He's not wearing his cover.
d.) His blouse is not only unbuttoned, but it's clearly too small.
e.) His sleeves aren't rolled properly.
f.) His green t-shirt is untucked.
g.) He is inciting a riot....IN UNIFORM AND ON CAMERA!!! HELLO!! NO military service member is allowed
to go on camera in uniform and speak with any sort of political overtones AT ALL.
h.) He's sporting ribbons on his unbuttoned cammie blouse...ribbons are not authorized for use on cammies,
and even if they were, he's wearing them improperly.

If by some off chance he IS a former Marine, he shames his Corps by the fact that he appeared so sloppily and attempted to speak on behalf of the Marine Corps, which he would never be allowed to do as an active duty Marine. I'm baffled that any former Marine would do this...he likely has a some adverse discharge on his record, OR has a few screws loose from his alleged time in Iraq.

Come on folks...don't believe everything you see.

I am a Marine, everything quoted here is 100% correct. He is unbecoming of a Marine. While I agree with what he was saying to the police, I don't agree with using the Marine Corps as a shield of social armor.

I don't know. What I'm seeing, is an unruly crowd looking for a fight. At least at the very front of the line. It looks to me like provocation. It's that 10% of idiots who get the rest in trouble. There is only one real reason to be up close and personal with the cops in a situation like this and that's not to exchange love letters.

I agree. Furthermore, the way he's wearing his uniform, reminds me of the way Vietnam protestors hijacked military uniforms. This guys doesn't act like a Marine in any way shape or form. However, just because he's unshaven and is wearing the uniform all wrong and out of whack, doesnt mean he isn't a former Marine. It just means he has contempt for what he was. Or stole the uniform.

his shirt is the wrong size?? get serious... coz people never lose or gain weight??

..and spouting all the other protocols he has broken mean nothing. The man has served his country and is fed up. It takes more bravery to break the rules and stand up for what he believes in. He states his name and rank, if he was faking being a marine he wouldn't do that would he?

What makes you think they are not in a Fascist State Already?

Unless you have been in hiding. The Police over there have already been beating Peaceful Protestors/Innocent People.

Also for those who are saying this is just one marine.

There is images being posted elsewhere. Showing more Marines At the Protests in Wall Street. However I will check the validity of them before posting them!

It happens a lot actually.
Google "Fake Navy Seals" or "Exposing Military Phonies."

A Democracy is worse then a Fascist State. There, you actually have someone in charge. In a democracy, it's total and complete Mob Rule.
I think you mean a "Republic."
