  1. Hold up, it was 6 people on the Co-Captian. However, they're only charging 4. Also what about the White females that were fighting. Why are they not charged for their participation? This was a hate crime and we see a lot of anti-Black racism coming from the police department.

  2. Without a gun, those boys are lost…

  3. Can he read!? My God that was like 2 sentences. 5 days later 🙄

  4. Waiting for Tucker Carlson to find a way to victimize and defend the attackers.

  5. I hope the Co-Captain gets promoted to Admiral (or something well deserved) and the young man who swam over to help, that guy is a Hero.

  6. The US is now became the world biggest Race Baiting nation. You can't see this kind of supremacy hegemonic crap in Russia, China or even North-Korea or any eastern country, but you can see and taste this daily only in the so-called freedom and democratic countries such as the US and EU the predatory countries.🙂

  7. All of a sudden it's a "hate crime" because a few white people attacked a black man. How many times (a day) do black people(groups of them) attack white people? Is that a hate crime, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Reversed discrimination. .

  8. Bet they will ban those chairs. But not an AK. LOL

  9. Why weren’t”t those white males taken into custody already? Ugh!!! What 13 people are you questioning?

  10. How they thought they was going to jump him & get away with it? They got what they asked for. An a*s kicking.

  11. This is the true America where people hate one another over race culture religion etc while sharing the same land education means nothing people are just ignorant and stupid

  12. 3 white males suspects (with prior criminal history!) are the culprits…. But they are white; therefore, it would be "woke" to called them criminals…According to white "America First" voters and any non-white person who deeply enjoys watching Trump Kool Aid Media

  13. One nation and still divide by colors! The only time we are united is when we are together in a combat deployment…

  14. This privilege behavior need to be stopped!

  15. Where is the U.S. Coast Guard??? This was a commercial vessel and captain/crew. They were ASSAULTED by these fat redneck drunks as they were trying to accomplish their duty of docking their commercial vessel in it's allocated spot. I'm seeing some FEDERAL FELONIES here, folks. Let's get these creeps locked up.

  16. The bystanders saved his life. They’re heroes.

  17. It figures that low Lifes with a history of assaults started the fight.

  18. The guy initiated the first strike/attack should be penalized to the maximum as well as the second attacker and so forth. The act of self defense whether or not being "excessive" or already after the fact….should be gauged accordingly. People can't be continue to "punch or kick or strike" the original attacker(s) when situation is already in a downward momentum. Defensive action doesn't equal to revenge.

  19. Let's all just start throwin hands, who's with me?

  20. Iam sure the patrols will increase and more signage put up. But the ignorance is going to be hard to temper.

  21. Let them go,all they did was defend their race without weapons, racism will soon end if this continues

  22. The folding chair was part of the WWF plot

  23. Absolutely racially motivated 100% and not one person that came to that man’s defense should be charged AT ALL whatsoever!

  24. What about the women who also hit the guard . She also need to get arrested

  25. 😂😂😂 Homeboy with that chair wasn’t bs -ing lol😊

  26. Well there goes alittle history down the drain that chair made a statement and is part of a lesson learned so hate it or love it power to the inventor and the mighty man that swung it in The Riverboat Dock Battle sir you made us proud and will not be forgotten Swing On…

  27. Several white women should be arrested, too! Especially the woman who kicked the co captain several times while he was already on the ground in a choke hold and being repeatedly punched by a group of men. Had no one came to his rescue he would have been the next black man murdered while on the ground in a choke hold. Why didn't those people get on their boat and leave?

  28. Sorry but I approve the man with the folding chair😂😂😂😂

  29. Totally racial motivated and guarantee they have a background of racism for sure 🤬😡👊🏾✊🏾

  30. Just my humble opinion: The Montgomery Police Chief and his department appear to have handled this well, and his transparency is appreciated. They are holding those responsible accountable and I believe the police should be commended.

  31. Not a single black person better get any charges…. They let off that white guy who shot and killed the black man for beating on his girlfriend.

    All of them were protecting that black guard.

  32. The woman with purple shirt.

  33. "Obscene gestures, curse words, and taunting." Drunks and idiots, but I repeat myself.

  34. They have become more emboldened since Trump's presidency. They think they can carry on with impunity !!

  35. I hope Mr Pickett and the 16-year-old sue those cowardly trash to kingdom come: Richard Roberts, Alan Todd, Zachary Shipman. And that trash woman who kicked Mr Pickett when he was down. Prosecute to the full extent of the law. Keep it on national TV, Chief Albert.

  36. They better not prosecute chair guy.

  37. Please cover the black on white murders etc. Our media is a joke! Black are a 14% minority yet commit over 60% of all violent crime.

  38. How does this make National news?? Ive seen worse at High Schools

  39. the guy who swam haas me weakkk

  40. What about all the police officers just standing around watching the fight!!!

  41. Cowards!!!! When more than one jumps in a fight, its done by Cowards! Charge those guys severely!
