I sure as hell wouldn't be willing to enter unarmed combat with a Marine.
And how long would it have taken for the police to show up? Is it really better to just sit there and do nothing and then, when the police show up 20 minutes later and the mob has moved on, give a witness report and help identify the girl's body? Just let the girl get assaulted, potentially raped? You've got to be kidding.

There are countless ways to handle that situation. Diversion, aggression, talking, calling from a distance, ...etc. I don't know the best way but simply walking into the crowd wasn't the smartest thing.
And I doubt that unarmed combat with a marine is a death sentence, as you imply. The vast majority of the time they are trained with their weapon. No weapon means an exposed marine.
