But the real winner of this whole thing, at least in the eyes of social media users, is a single plastic folding chair.
According to police and multiple videos of the incident , the fight that is now being referred to as the “,” began with a simple request that the riverboat captain, Damien Pickett, move the boat. The Harriott II was attempting to dock in its usual spot along the city’s Riverfront Park, but was blocked by a pontoon filled with boaters.
After trying and failing to get the pontoon to move for almost 45 minutes, Pickett took a small boat to the dock to speak with the boaters. The group was “hostile” and began attacking Pickett, Darryl Albert, the Montgomery Police Chief, said in a press conference. But while Pickett, who is Black, began the fight outnumbered by the boaters, who are largely white, several Black bystanders came to his defense, eventually turning the fight into an all-out battle. Footage captured by bystanders shows a Harriot II employee jumping in the river and swimming to Pickett’s aid, a group of three men cantering up to join the fight, and even a pair of white Crocs being turned into anklets by the sheer force of body slams.
