Alabama Brawl The Hat The Swim The Chair | Gary Owen

everything I thought I was gonna talk about kind of went by the wayside with that Montgomery dock fight that you've seen everywhere I think this fight that brawl on the dock in Montgomery Alabama can be described in three words if you're if you're if you're black people it's described in three words the Hat the swim and the chair and if white people it could be described in one word entitlement because I I I honestly I'm glad nobody got hurt seriously hurt so now that it's over with and you can I'm I mean you kind of knew what was happening but you don't really know because there's there's so much going on but when that brother that doc security threw that hat in the air and then you see the brother swimming from the boat that was in the middle of the water oh my God and then dude came in with the chair it was just it was so much going on and then at one point the one you see everywhere was the the two or three white dudes that ran up like they was about to jump on somebody and then you see a row of black people uh ready to go I was like oh my God and of all places Alabama Alabama one of the most racially uh hotbeds in the history of this country is where it takes place uh so instead of me diluting it this is what this is what uh this is this is what the news said happened authorities have issued arrest warrants for a chaotic brawl that broke out Saturday on a popular Riverfront dock in Montgomery Alabama with punches thrown people hit with chairs and at least one person tossed into the water which if you haven't seen the picture of the the feet with the Crocs that are halfway up the calves they just broke through it's like it's such a good pick uh the melee began when a black man who a witness described the CNN as an employee engaged with the group of white men on the dock according to the footage of the incident a shirtless white man then charged and shoved the employee and others pushed the worker to the ground and started punching him that's what we all saw we all saw that in the beginning where the brothers being animated and just all they want to do is move their boat here's the thing when something like this happens and you look back on it if they had to move their freaking boat none of this happens and I thought the boating community is a very tight-knit cordial Community every time I've been on a boat you wave at other boats and when you dock other boats to pull out or they'll move up forward no problem man we got to It's You Know It so the fight escalated further with other groups of people entering The Fray and after a short break in the action I thought they said that a second round of punches and attacked and attacks the footage shows Montgomery police say they were called to the seed and found a large group of subjects engaged in a physical altercation aka the white dudes getting their ass kicked is what it was according to a Monday news release several people were detained and charges were pending there are four active warrants and more could come major Saba Coleman I'm a government police person told CNN in an email police acted swiftly to detain several Reckless individuals for attacking a man who was just doing his job Montgomery Mayor Stephen Reed said Sunday uh the platformer known as okay and then warrants are being signed and Justice will be served let's see if we got any Witnesses the Witnesses are the best if you get a chance Google just go online and Google like witnesses to the Montgomery doc attack because they're so animated and you got and you've got witnesses that were on the boat trying to pull in you got witnesses that were actually at like a a little uh restaurant above the dock they said the the a lot of the dudes the white dudes they was up there just having drinks and eating and was paying no attention to the guy saying hey you got to move your boat which is entitlement they said um the fight largely broke down along racial lines in a city with a fraught history of Rachel animus I think I said that right Reed there's a here's the thing read the first black mirror of a city at the center of the Civil Rights Movement said the incident was still investigations and officials were looking into all angles of it um so here's now here here's just what happened a small vessel was blocking the large Harriet 2 Riverboat from being able to the dock near near the Riverfront Park a waterfront area that features a splash pad and host concerts and other community activities I've been there I know exactly where this is at I I've been to Montgomery 10 15 times I know exactly where this dock is it's basically when people just be out there hanging out honestly uh the Riverboat which was filled with guests have been waiting for like 30 or 45 minutes and they did not want to touch these people's boats but nobody came forward so this all the guy was doing the black the Hat will call them Hat Man all hatman was doing was like can you just move your boat man you got a river boat full of people and that's the people that a lot of those came in them to whooping their ass they all they want to do was dock that's it and they weren't even tripping you saw the people on the Riverboat they were the one filming and they were the ones singing songs and telling them to move and everything and then um the railroads are filled with gas okay the worker went over to the small boat and started untying The Vessel and a man they said who appeared to be white yeah no no it wouldn't appear he was white ran over uh two men who appeared to be white no no no those two dudes was white they shirts was off they had nothing but shorts on they were white uh then came over to the dock and engaged what looked like a heated argument video of the interaction shows the gentleman ran down there the white guy and then when it was and then that the general run down there um and then the first white guy comes down that's what it escalated uh the employee was telling the man he needs to move the boat to make room for a larger Riverboat one of the men who was part of the group then ran up and pushed the employee and then appeared to throw a punch to footage shows several other men in the group who appeared linked to the small boat then jumped onto work and also started punching the worker while he was on the ground ain't no ain't no apparently that's what happened they were having a heater argument and one of the dudes it and this is how most most of these fights always start with somebody that's hot more hot head than the rest I'm fine with with the employee raising his voice and going off you got to move your boat I'm fine with the other dude coming up going hey man don't touch my boat man don't touch my boat it's just a heated argument but no punches of Throne once you physically touch somebody that's when you cross the line so the the one dude came in on 10. everybody else was about at a at a seven like he was heated but they were arguing for so long you didn't really think a fight was gonna happen and then one dude came in on 10 and then uh as the fight continued others watching the melee ran down toward the fight time to pull the group off the employee at one point A man was swimming to the dock to help that's the real hero in all this the man swimming he jumped off that River he was on the Riverboat there's one there's one video that they show him jumping off what was it what was that Riverboat called the la la la I just said it uh jumping off the hold on I'm I'm so excited over this story I forgot what the boat's called whatever the Riverboat he jumped off the Riverboat and he but the funny part is he wasted no time as soon as those three or four white dudes jumped that brother the Hat went up in the air it was a call it was like a call from wakanda their brothers came out of everywhere and then um Spivey said okay uh they got back on okay as the fight gets in the melee okay uh one of them then appear to throw a punch to finish okay as the fight continued others watches May ran down toward the fight Temple girl to play at one point a man swear to the doctor help after the fight was broken up the boat and those who fought with the worker didn't leave the area Spivey said that was mistake number one they got back on their little boats down there like nothing happened and the whole time the Harriet there's the Riverboat is still slowly coming in sideways so they can dock Spivey said she was taken back but was described as entitlement shown by the group of the small boat so basically these white dudes jumped this black security guard it got broken up and they didn't leave the area they just kind of stayed in their boat like whatever they assaulted him got back on their boat and didn't try to leave so then the the Riverboat docks a second larger brawl then broke out after the Harriet Riverboat was able to Dock and those aboard many of whom watched The Clash ran over to the boaters so this all it was mostly black people on this boat if not all black people uh I knew once that boat hit the dock all hell was gonna break loose footage shows a group made of what appeared to be Riverboat workers hopping off the Riverboat and running towards a smaller boat the workers appear to pause and say some of the people on the boat then the video shows one of the men from the river punching one of the men for the smaller boat a second bra gets underway this time the black boat workers are seen punching and beating a group of small off the small boat the fight moves down the block Dock and grows videos of the chaos just punches being thrown between the groups and at least one person being knocked into the water uh another video of the scene just down the pier where the Riverboat dock shows a man who appears to be white no he was white getting hit over the head with a white folding chair at least six times and a woman who was appears to be white is white getting kicked and punched before she too is hit over the head with a chair police officers seen in the footage breaking up the altercation uh okay those who chose violence will be held accountable criminal justice system okay so like I said this is all from entitlement that's all this is is just move your boat it's that simple and I don't care how the security guard came at you I don't know if he was raising his voice if he untied your boat the only reason he went that far is because he was like he's been asking for a while so whose boat is this and you guys are just chilling man but that hat throw that's one of the greatest call for just and you guys only realize at first it wasn't necessarily a racial incident because he had a bunch of whities but another guy that worked on the dock was a white dude and you could tell he wanted no part of this fight and the the when the four or five white dudes jumped the black dude they they take a swing at him and he falls back the the other white dude that was I don't know if he's doc security or just a dock worker but he wanted no part of this violence tell you that but when the brother was swimming and then the chair was yeah that was a little too far just because you know you want to hurt nobody but I will say the one white dude that got hit with the chair he got pummeled and he kept coming back so he got his but that one white dude got a chin I'll tell you that um it could have been a lot worse I'm just glad it was just fist the Cuffs I mean one chair but it was just Fist and it was like it's just it's the thing about of all cities the the best video is when those two white dudes come running over and then you see the like five six black dudes that really weren't paying attention to them turn around and there's a line and it's literally like the Civil War it's like you got the two white dudes and they you could tell like oh and then they messed up so I yeah I guarantee this uh nobody's gonna be in jail that long for this because so many people celebs and Anonymous people they're gonna bail people out and I bet you on both sides I bet you you have some racial people that'll bail the white people out and then you'll and then you're gonna have you know uh there's been already been a bunch of black celebs that have said they would bail people out of if any of them was going to go to jail but I just got nobody was hurt um what I would like to see happen out of this is is maybe one day there'll be a sit down
