BREAKING: Three Alabama men are facing misdemeanor assault charges in the Montgomery riverfront brawl.
Three Alabama men are facing misdemeanor assault charges after a group of white men attacked a Black dock worker on Saturday during a brawl involving multiple people along the Montgomery Riverfront.
“They just didn’t think the rules applied to them. It was so avoidable. This never had to have happened,” a witness, Leslie Mawhorter, 52, who was aboard the Harriott II, previously told NBC News. “I knew something was going to go down, because their attitude was just, ‘You can’t tell us what to do.’ They were going to be confrontational regardless of who you were.”
The family of a 16-year-old white dock worker is also calling for charges after he was attacked by the white boaters while operating a nearby vessel. Several videos of the fight began circulating the Internet in the wake of the incident. Social media users shared memes and pointed out that the combatants were split along racial lines. Many praised the group of Black men for coming to Pickett’s defense against the white boaters.
