This is kinda gross for everyone involved. I am surprised/disappointed that this is being laughed at and not ridiculed more.

But hey, stoke that racial tension for the lolz amirite?
Kind of gross for everyone involved?

The whole thing could have been avoided had they just followed the rules and moved their boat but nope a old black man doing his job and asking them to do something drew the ire of Vassers MiniMart KKK so they thought it would be a good day to beat him down. FAFO was very appropriate in this case.

Also the women getting rocked while its wrong they also threw themselves into a very tense situation and people are not thinking straight especially with something driven by race.

A quick google search of Vassers Minimart shows people dressed in white hoods shopping. Sounds like a diverse clientele.

Watching three white people gang beat a black man at work is pretty gut wrenching stuff.

If someone could snap their fingers and replace all the guns in America with folding chairs, it would be a much better place.

Complains about stoking racial tension while scouring every video angle of a black person getting jumped by a group of white people and the aftermath to find a single white person he can defend.

Tough to defend the random shots against unsuspecting people, particularly women already on the ground.
It definitely started off as something valiant, fighting off 5 white guys beating on a single black guy. However, the initial group of white guys retreated to their boat and were then followed by another group who set off a second round of fighting. The fighting also kept going after the police had shown up, including the chair blow.

I think they'll rightfully be arrests on both sides of the brawl.

I'm sure adrenaline was raging, but it's baffling that no one appeared visibly injured. The general quality of the blows was quite bizarre....Very few actual punches being thrown, and mostly WWF style overhead axe blows. Did I see someone do a leg drop?

Then they might actually sit down and talk to one another!

Have barbecues, not brawls.

In every film I've seen involving Southern Riverboat Cruises the clientele are usually all packing heat!

Concealed carry would be a lot more entertaining, that's for sure.

Wastedyouth quietly weeping for the white lady in red, and the true pain he feels over seeing these racial tensions stoked.



How could anyone make light of this? So tragic. So disappointing.

You know who stopped the bad guy with a folding chair?

A good guy with a folding chair.



Keep your hands off of my folding chair rights!

#### those original white dudes who started all of this. All they had to do was move their boat and nobody would've been harmed or flattened by a folding chair.
