  2. We know the thugs that started this mayhem. Thugs Thugs and should be prosecuted

  3. Why does the room look AI? 😂😂

  4. I wonder if they will press charges on the white chair. 🤔

  5. Thank you to everyone who jump in to help this incredibly brave and strong and loved ❤ He never deserved that no human does i want to say I Love All of Yall ❤❤ i believe if we can just start really trying like michele obama said she just sees everyone as a human and never judge what anything is going thro and the disrespect that must stop all that have suffered i pray your healing and i just am going out everyday just loving on and helping whoever god puts in my path i pray healing for the boat captain that got beat and ganged up on so wrong i could barely stand it so thank you for all who helped sending alp my love and blessings❤❤

  6. “this is not indicative of Montgomery” bold face lie….THIS IS EXACTLY THE BEHAVIOR OF MONTGOMERY….look at history only difference this time its on Camera!!!!!

  7. Charge them for assault and child abuse ✌🏾

  8. Look at that old ass building.
    To think so many racist and unjustified things happened there in the past..weird

  9. Zackary nem got they Ass beat..lmbo

  10. If the chair guy gets ARRESTED we going in on YALLS NON-HUMAN AZZES and yall going back to THAILAND 🫨

  11. Trespass and charge the boat owners who resorted to violence instead of following the rules. Every single person who assaulted the co-captain should be charged as well. Proud of my people.

  12. U got that first one that attacked him….get started

  13. Update: We have come to the conclusion after thorough investigation. The guys who initiated the brawl acted well within thier rights. George Wallace lives!!! Lol. Im clowning im black I promise. 😆

  14. Those white dudes and Karen’s are animals and I hope they go to jail.

  15. black security shouldn’t have said cracker

  16. Why are the questions being asked are the same voices and the questions are focused on the people who came to assist the co-captain’s in the co-captain being attacked? Wrong concern & focus in my opinion

  17. Charge the person that started the fight oh yea he's white.. they're talking about everybody accept the guy that hit the black guy first

  18. Police kill me boy, what is there to solve? There’s a whole video showing what happened what are you guys trying to solve 🙄 charge the boat owners and keep it moving

  19. Racist ass Montgomery please! Tryna convince us your town is great, stop.

  20. They were all drunk. That would have happened if dude was white. The 16 yr old was white!

  21. Trumpism is what caused this

  22. I gotta feeling those responsible for the violence will be protected by the court system and the public will be told they cant be punished too harshly cause it will harm their lives

  23. Put me on the jury all the white boat thugs go to jail. All the people who stood up for the Co-captain get to go home. Justice is served!

  24. In hate crimes such as this against white people blacks are never charged

  25. This is how black Americans handle and deal with white supremacist in Jason Aldean's country song – "Small Town".

  26. Arrest the 2 woman too!!

  27. It was wrong for the white man to strike the security guard. But it was equally wrong for everyone to start hitting each other, what are we animals we can't control our emotions. All these people cheering on this kind of behavior should be ashamed of themselves. And then we have this guy stirring up the races, Black against white, dogs against cats. Do you think Martin Luther King or James Zwerg who both preached nonviolence would approve of all this? We haven't gone forward but backward I'm ashamed of both whites and blacks alike.

  28. That poor 16 year old boy tried the help the co captain and was attacked as well. I hope they sue all of those drunk thugs. All they had to do was comply and everyone could have had a great day, but no they had to act like a bunch of hoodlums.

  29. Please stop calling this guy a security guard he's the co-captain of the river boat.

  30. The 16 year old black male is being portrayed as a super hero aquaman but sorry to inform everyone the boy did not maintain his focus on defending the original victim but continued to go on the offensive even though the victim was no longer under attack. That is assault. Period.

  31. The police needs to look into the Maritime Law because they assaulted the “Co Captain,” which is a maritime officer.

  32. I give my people hands up 👆 we finally got together

  33. I saw alot more then 3 men attack the captin

  34. I don't live in America but am very very proud of my brothers. They all deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.👏👏👏
