#Montgomery river brawl

[inkher0]

What happened in Alabam?

I'm glad you asked, because I've been going insane about it.

So basically, it's an average Sunday evening at the Montgomery Boat docks. There's this group of white people with a boat parked in the way of the river ferry. River ferry can't pull into port with it in the way, so the black security guard REPEATEDLY tells them to move their boat. Eventually, one of the white guys in the group tackles this man and starts to fight him. Black security guard throws his hat up and squares up. Soon, though, black security guard is outnumbered 4 to 1. These white men, in front of over a hundred people, start to literally beat a black man to death for doing his job. All seems bleak. We've seen this happen before, too often now to count.

Until you see one boy (fondly dubbed "Aquamayne") swimming from the ferry to the dock to help him. Then you see more black men bolting to join the fight from the platforms above the docks. Then you see the ferry pull in, and three shirtless black dudes march off that ferry with an ARMY of black people behind them, men and women alike. Suddenly, this 4v1 is a 54v8, and EVERY member of the white group gets their asses whooped.

The cops are there, but it's so intense, they can't do anything to stop it. They literally Just Watch. One man appears, wielding a folding chair. The Chair is rated "E" for Everyone. One woman falls down after getting smacked, and he cracks that shit over her head like she was a poached egg.

Everything about it is a triumph. It was a moment where a black man was in trouble, and the whole of Black America came to his rescue.

All the videos are on instagram, if you want to see the chaos. I'm sure you find it under "riverboat brawl" or something like that.

I don't know if the whole Alabama Brawl situation has made it's way to tumblr yet but I gotta say the hypocritical, selective outrage i'm seeing from white folks is crazy. That black man hit a white woman with a chair and suddenly they're sooo against violence towards women, right? Did they miss the part where that white guy ran up and blindsided that young black woman by grabbing her face, putting his arm around her throat and taking her to the ground? Or did she deserve that for being in the fight in the first place? Keep that energy for those white women who had no problem punching and kicking men and women and even continued hitting that security guard after initially jumping him in the first goddamn place.

Also them saying "well how do you know they were racist, it's just a fight that happen to be between black and white people" Uhhmmmm... Sure Jan. Is it really a coincidence that Trump was in Montgomery Friday and Saturday this shit happens? I'm sure that maga spirit was flowin' through them and they took it out on a black security guard for having the audacity to tell them what to do.

MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA RIVERBOAT BRAWL TURNS RACIAL FAST... Black Versus White

BRAWL ON THE RIVER

A massive brawl along the docks of a river in the deep South unfolded this weekend -- and it was pretty black and white as far as what was going down ... quite literally.

This wild scene took place Saturday at Riverfront Park in Montgomery, AL -- where multiple eyewitnesses say a riverboat was trying to pull in, but couldn't ... because some locals in a smaller pontoon boat were blocking the space, something a security guard tried rectifying.

That's where this first video picks up ... the man in the white shirt -- who's Black -- is said to be a guard/dock worker of some sort, and he was telling these white dudes to move. It erupted into a 4-on-1 deal, with the white guys wailing on the man ... while others watched.

Soon, though ... other Black people jumped into the mix to come this gentleman's aid -- including somebody who threw themselves into the water from across the way to swim over.

Several people were taken into custody Saturday night after a fight broke out at Montgomery’s Riverfront Park in Alabama, authorities said.

The Montgomery Police Department responded to a disturbance at the 200 block of Coosa Street in Montgomery, Alabama, at 7 p.m. after a large group of people were fighting. Several people were detained, police said.

How this country star’s hit song unexpectedly catalyzed the Montgomery riverfront brawl

By Anna Beahm | [email protected]

Jason Aldean’s chart-topping, controversial country song, “Try That in a Small Town,” became the soundtrack to the racially-charged confrontation that went viral this week. (GettyImages) (Getty)

Sign up for Reckon’s latest weekly newsletter covering the three topics never to be discussed at the dinner table. Enter your email to subscribe to Matter of Faith.

Country star Jason Aldean’s latest song “Try that in a Small Town” was already criticized for promoting a “pro-lynching mentality,” but now it’s part of social media videos of a fight between a black worker and white boaters in Montgomery, Ala.

The song starts with a list of criminal behaviors including carjacking and harassing police officers as behaviors that would not be tolerated “in a small town,” as the chorus goes. The song also asks “if you’re lookin for a fight, try that in a small town.”

While catchy and clearly a hit, the tune has been criticized by political activists like Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, and country greats like Sheryl Crow, who said “even people in small towns are sick of violence.”

Violence is exactly what happened on Sunday when officials said a Black dock worker and white boaters got into a dispute that turned into a brawl between Black and white boaters at the dock in Montgomery, Ala. The worker had apparently asked the boater to move the boat to make room for the Harriet II Riverboat that usually docks in that location, the Montgomery Advertiser reported.

The song joined the Montgomery River Brawl when TikTok users put the song over videos of the fight. Some users said they were reclaiming the song for the Black community invested in Montgomery.

The Montgomery Police Dept. said the man was attacked “for simply doing his job.” Police have also issued arrest warrants for several people involved in the fight.

Dillon Nettles, a policy analyst for the American Civil Liberties Union, posted on X Monday morning about the fight.

“The significance of the riverfront where this fight took place shouldn’t be lost. This is where our ancestors were transported and marched in shackles up Commerce [Street] to be sold. Montgomery was once one of the most prominent slave trading markets in the country,” Nettles posted.

The story was trending on X Tuesday morningalong with the hashtags #Alabamaboatbrawl and #montgomerybrawl. TikTok users were also posting videos of the fight with an audio clip from Aldean’s song.

“Probably not how they anticipated this song being used,” TikTok user @dazzlingblu said in a comment.

Other users commented on the use of the song with the clips saying “the flip of the century for that song,” and “uno reverse.”

The song was originally a ballad for “small-town” folks who opposed “big city” ideas (and threatened them with violence). In the comments under one TikTok video, users were reclaiming the song, making it the 180-degree turn no one expected for the song.

TikTok user @abbysworldsastage posted a video about the incident between a white woman and a chair-weilding black man, saying that she thought people who were upset about a man hitting a woman with a chair were deflecting from the real issue at the root of the fight: racial violence.

“When I watched that vid, [sic] I saw a community coming together to protect each other, and an impressive use of available tools. I’m not about to say just swinging on women or anyone is okay, but I certainly don’t think that was the problem with the whole situation, and the focus on it feels like deflection to me,” she said in the video caption.

The fight happened over the weekend after former President Donald Trump visited Montgomery on Friday to attend and give remarks at a Republican Party dinner. However, it’s unclear if those involved in the fight attended Trump’s event.

Trump pleaded not guilty Thursday to new charges related to the classified files discovered at his Florida mansion last year.

The controversy and boycott

The song, music video and resulting controversy around it has led some conservatives to call for a boycott of Country Music Television (CMT) for pulling the music video off its streaming platform.

Last month, CMT canceled Aldean’s music video after backlash related to the song’s suggestions of “looking for a fight.” Speaking of, the music video for the song featured shots of the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tenn., where Henry Choate, an 18-year-old Black man, was hanged in 1927 after he was falsely accused of attacking a white girl.

Featuring the location in the shot led to calls for a boycott of the video, which some critics said represented a “pro-lynching” stance.

Earlier this year Bud Light and Chick-Fil-A were caught with similar backlash, as conservative fans call for a boycott of the entertainment group. Other musicians involved in the political culture wars including Lee Greenwood, have also issued statements criticizing CMT’s decision and offering support for Aldean.

Conservative politicians across the country have also extended their welcome to Aldean in the wake of the music video cancellation.

So yall know the Republicans and Maga are gonna switch it up saying it's not racism or about race right?

Be prepared for Candace Owens to defend the white people in the boat.

She and they will say they got what they deserve but it's not racism. Just them being assholes cause they aren't even gonna say "it's just rich people or entitled people". They just gonna call them drunk assholes.

A fight at the docks? This is American freedom?

On August 5, local time, at a river pier in Riverside Park, Montgomery, local famous white people and African American crew members had a group fight. The conflict began when a cruise ship carrying 227 passengers fought over docking space with a private pontoon. An African American crew member on the cruise boat was assaulted by a number of white men on the float when he asked the float to give up space. More people then joined the fight, which first developed into a group brawl, and eventually police arrived to control the situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA6BSXy-Pj0

Riveting Drama Unfolds at Alabama Riverfront: Unbelievable Showdown!

Hold onto your hats, folks, because the Alabama Riverfront turned into a wild battleground that has everyone buzzing! Picture this: a sunny Saturday afternoon, the sparkling waters of the Alabama River, and a clash of epic proportions that had TikTok creators and artists alike diving in to capture the action.

It all went down at the famous Riverfront Park in Montgomery, where a group of spirited white boaters decided to stir the pot. But wait, it's not your typical riverboat cruise story. Oh no, this one comes with twists and turns that make it a must-watch spectacle.

Imagine a fearless Black boat captain, Damien Pickett, trying to tame the turbulent waters of misunderstanding. With the Harriott II riverboat in one corner and a pontoon filled with some raucous white boaters in the other, tensions escalated faster than a jet ski on a sugar rush.

As the Harriott II tried to dock, Captain Pickett valiantly attempted to communicate with the pontoon party for a solid 45 minutes. But instead of a friendly chat over the airwaves, the white boaters responded with gestures that weren't exactly a wave and taunts that left everyone scratching their heads.

Hold onto your life vests, because here comes the plot twist! Captain Pickett decided to take matters into his own hands and make his way to the pontoon for a heart-to-heart chat. Little did he know, he was about to dive headfirst into a sea of trouble.

Cue the dramatic music: Captain Pickett, a brave Black co-captain, faced off against a barrage of hostilities from the pontoon posse. It was like a classic Western showdown, but on water. Fists flew, emotions boiled over, and the riverfront became a stage for a battle of epic proportions.

But that's not all – enter Reggie Gray, armed with a folding chair and a flair for the dramatic! With a swing and a hit, he became the unexpected hero, defending justice and adding a touch of WWE-style drama to the whole affair.

Videos captured the chaos from every angle, as onlookers gasped and cheered in shock. Some applauded the brave souls who jumped into the fray, while others marveled at the reversal of roles, where history's dark past played out on the same docks that once saw the painful trade of enslaved Americans.

Now, the authorities are getting in on the action. Montgomery's finest are dishing out arrest warrants like a deck of cards, seeking justice for the riverfront rumble. Richard Roberts, Allen Todd, and Zachary Shipman are facing the music, with more potentially joining the dance soon.

As the sun sets on this riveting saga, one thing's for sure: the Alabama Riverfront will never be the same. Mayor Steven L. Reed wants us all to remember – this was an isolated incident, a blip in the vibrant tapestry of Montgomery. So, let's keep the riverfront rocking, the boats cruising, and the drama to a minimum. After all, this is a community that's all about unity, not hostility.

And that, my friends, is the wild tale of the Alabama Riverfront Brawl – a story that'll have you on the edge of your seat and grateful for the quiet moments on the river.
