I know a lot of readers are going to want to know what my title means so here it is “fuck around and find out” & that's exactly what those people from the small town of Caucasus found out.
If you don't know what happened I'll give a short synopsis so in Montgomery Alabama a rowdy group of men and women decided to attack Damien the Co- Captain of the Harriet II Riverboat.
So I read many different articles and watched what social media had posted about the brawl and I will tell it the only way I know how as a writer.
The Captain Jim Kittrell of the Harriet II Riverboat was trying to dock at Riverwalk Amphitheatre but couldn't because the group from the small town of Caucasus refused to move so he got on his P.A system and asked them five times to move but they didn't nudge & even gave him the finger.
That's when Damien the Co -Captain decided to undock and push the boat belonging to the small group forward so that the Harriet II could dock and let the guest disembark.
As he was doing this that's when the group returned and instead of them moving their boat they decided to exchange words with the Co- Captain. Now that's when Damien threw his hat up signaling ( like Gotham City signals Batman) that shit was about to get ugly. And that's when the small group took it among themselves to attack the Co - Captain.
Aaron the boat hand without a moment thought jumps into the cold water like Michael Phelps to help his co - worker. This young swimmer is only sixteen years old and swam like he been swimming all his life and to everyone amazement he does something that professional swimmers have difficulty doing he swamed in a straight line.
And just like that others came to the Co-Captain aid it was an all out brawl of fist and chairs being thrown & a pair of crocs got ripped off feet.
Well there were arrest made but the group from the small town of Caucasus learned what "fuck around and find out " meant and that if you take Jason Aldean song Try That In A Small Town to heart in a big city it will be the biggest mistake you ever make.
Side Note
Allegedly the group that started the brawl was from Selma Alabama and owned a family store called Vassers Mini Mart and it wasn't the first time that the Captain has had a problem with them. It is also alleged that arrest warrants were issued and that the police want to talk to "the chair guy". I think the "chair guy " should bring a lawyer with him when he talks to the police. I've also learned through social media that Reggie Ray(chair guy) has been charged & there is a GoFundMe started to help with his legal bill so I encourage everyone to give to the GoFundMe because had he & others not stepped in to help this would have ended tragically.
I do not condone violence but I'm glad that there were people to help and that another black person lives to see another day.
I have nothing against Jason Aldean or the song I like country music.
