Clarence Page writes: 'It’s summertime but, contrary to George Gershwin’s classic tune from 'Porgy and Bess,' the livin’ was not easy at the event memorialized in a social media hashtag as simply MontgomeryRiverfrontBrawl.'
The Harriott, a riverboat, remains docked on Aug. 8, 2023, on the Alabama riverfront in downtown Montgomery, Alabama.
Yet, in the age of social media, the melee in Montgomery quickly went viral on the web, literally inviting anyone to add their own soundtrack and commentary — and many people did.In case you somehow managed to miss it, the man who received the first blow was Damien Pickett, co-captain of the city-owned Harriott II, a riverboat carrying about 200 passengers that couldn’t park in its proper dock because a smaller pontoon boat was parked in its designated space.
Police charged three white men and one white woman in the brawl. A Black man wielding a folding chair and caught on video turned himself in and was charged Friday.
