Fights broke out Saturday in Montgomery after a group of white people punched a Black dock worker.

I want to hear the dock workers side of the story. Thoughts?

I read about this earlier this morning. Several arrests and continuing.
What I understand happened that a group of white people, male and female attacked a boat (commercial) worker who asked them to move their boat. That was taken none too kindly.

I've heard speculation that may have had an influence on the instigators. I speculate alcohol may have been involved too. First one person hit the dockworker, then more pounced on him, then the cavalry arrived.

Watching brother Damien toss his company hat in the air before taking on that shitbird who first attacked him had me lmao. I guess it takes four or five white Alabama shitbirds to take down one black man trying to do his job. smh

When all is said and done, I'm just glad nobody pulled out a piece and started shooting.

Give the peckerwoods who started this fracas a year or two down on the county farm to think about it.
