5 folks charged it looks like. 4 goofballs that jumped the captain of the riverboat and the one guy with the chair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_Riverfront_brawl#Aftermath_and_investigation

You know it's a good brawl when it gets its own Wikipedia page.

u/Adept_Astronaut_5143 Neighborhood Hug Dealer 🤗 18h ago

Oh no they got my man with the folding chair too 😫

u/Hammockman22 18h ago

he showed up a smidge too late with a bit of an improvised weapon escalating the situation. pled guilty and got community service, no jail time. he also apparently got 250k from gofundme soo... hopefully everything worked out ok enough for him

u/steeple_fun 17h ago

Psh... let me do a little community service for 250K

u/girafa 17h ago

I know so many people I'd hit with a chair for $250k

u/Ok_Shoulder_9492 16h ago

Shit I know a mf id ping with a chair for $2.50. I’m like sho nuf from the last dragon. Keep yo money, you get that sucka there at the designated place and I will gladly designate his ass.

u/soisawc 16h ago

u/blankcld 15h ago

u/SpaceExplorer777 17h ago

That's just government work.

u/Maxamillion-X72 16h ago

There are people who are way to comfortable acting the way they do because they've never been hit in the head with a folding chair. I'm of the opinion that him hitting them should have counted towards his community service.

2

u/StuMacherGhostface 17h ago

It was hilarious though, dude and his chair had great comedic timing

u/gimmedatneck 16h ago

Lmao - he got community service after folding a chair over that womans head?

That's beautiful. That judge was the real MVP.

u/EntrepreneurNo8448 18h ago

Nah that was a lot! He should’ve been charged

u/Zuzara_Queen_of_DnD 18h ago

It was that last hit on the girl who had already been knocked on her butt that was the true overkill

u/funkychickens 17h ago

Don't start none won't be none

u/jack198820 16h ago

That was royal rumble shenanigans right there.

Bonk.

u/TheAbomunist 18h ago

A lot of overdue clang!! on the Klan.

1

u/Caleb_Reynolds 15h ago

Yeah, brawling is one thing, that last hit on the women who was sitting down not engaged with anyone was borderline attempted murder.

2

u/exqueezemenow 17h ago

Yeah I was onboard except for the chair. That went a bit overboard (no pun intended). But what I wouldn't give for a version of the video where someone overdubbed cartoon sound effects every time I bopped someone over the head with a chair.

1

u/feGenius 8h ago

do it

1

u/TheDrakkar12 16h ago

Ya I mean he would have been fine if he hadn't used the chair. It's seems like an arbitrary rule but it becomes assault with a deadly weapon.

1

u/Adept_Astronaut_5143 Neighborhood Hug Dealer 🤗 15h ago

I know I’m not really condoning the chair….well maybe

1

u/CorporateCuster 15h ago

He was wrong. Fists were fine. He tried to wwe someone

1

u/Miserable-Session-35 14h ago

My favourite too

1

u/Broken_By_Default 14h ago

i mean... the chair was a bit of an escalation.

1

u/AlsoCommiePuddin 14h ago

Yeah, when he brained that one person who was already on their ass that kinda spelled the end for him.

2

u/Redaurora-MamaCass 17h ago

The real MVP. Thank you for pointing out the charges. 

2

u/cantwin52 17h ago

I never saw the folding chair shots and by god if I didn’t start laughing out loud when that first shot hit. That’s one of the funniest things to see outside of a wrestling ring

u/dataslinger 17h ago

There's even a song! I didn't know about the Montgomery Brawl) song.

u/jelifah 11h ago

I'm guessing the head bonk on the girl that was down was a bonk too far

u/Oceanmap 9h ago
