It’s hard to believe that it has been eight months since the brawl in Montgomery, Alabama happened.

The more I thought about it today, the more I realized eight months is correct — because I was recovering from getting my wisdom teeth pulled out (that was a nightmare) when I heard the news of that altercation.

I believe my dad told me about that incident. And that had me curious to look up to see what happened in Montgomery, Alabama. I looked it up on Twitter X first, and then I looked it up on YouTube to get a better grasp of what happened.

I see a black man, who’s a security guard, arguing with another guy. Then another guy charges at the security guard and it’s game on. The brotha held his own until other white troublemakers jumped on him.

When another black man in a blue shirt came to assist the security guard and stop the fight, things got interesting. But the troublemakers weren’t letting up…
