A wild brawl broke out among a group of swimsuit-clad boaters at a Florida lake over the weekend — in which one man was knocked unconscious and left floating face down in the water, shocking video shows.

The unruly fight happened at Lake Winterset in Polk County, in front of young children relaxing on the lakeside with their families, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said.

Seven men and a 17-year-old boy were arrested, Sheriff Grady Judd announced Tuesday, as he vowed to make an example out of the hooligans.

Finally, some diversity in these videos.

Yes apparently idiot yahoos come in all colors.

The difference is White boys just beat up on each other, they don’t seek out those of other races and ambush them in cowardly attacks like some ethnicities that shall remain nameless.

Sheriff Judd is gonna make these idiots regret it.

Fair fight, white guys slug it out, a lot different with blacks, who will stab, shoot, attack from behind etc.

[Mlheureux]

This Sheriff will definitely charge these idiots. They should all receive Max sentences.

Chimp out.

[V_TWIN]

Yeah, they definitely picked the wrong county.

Good thing you posted the picture.

Quite.

[No name given]

Indeed.

[FreedomPoster]

While that is no doubt true, there is a per-capita aspect that is important.

[V_TWIN]

Yeah, I figured some might not pick up on “swimsuit-clad boaters” not being the usual suspects. 😏

[Tell It Right]

A 40-year-old man, fighting with teens and early 20’s. Hasn’t he learned to grow up yet?

[LouAvul]

I’m guessing booze and weed might be involved?
