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.

Of course they will be severely punished for the actions of assault which is why their kind has progressed civilly.
Lololol….yes…a white chimpout!!!
No booze involved I’m sure.
Yup.
Looks like a case of beer muscles to me.
Just some good ‘ole boys. I bet they’ll all be drinking together next week, laughing and busting each other’s balls over the whole thing.
Did anyone ever figure out what started it?

Black boat owners are rare, especially in Florida. Boats + alky hall +/- prized fishing spots + hot babes +/- who goes first at the boat ramp - pigment = drunken brawls
It really is that simple.
And yes…Q: why aren’t there more black boat owners. A: You can’t buy one with government assistance.
So there ya go.
Sadly there are minority grants for commercial fishermen.
This was rife with fraud, as you would expect.
Round them up and drop them into downtown Cincy.
“Good thing you posted the picture.”
What’s the thing sticking out from the rear of the bathing suit on the leftmost guy?
Except for the dude that’s takin’ a nap.....he may still be under medical observation for a while. 😏
Cold-cocked that unsuspecting guy with a blindside sucker punch.
The phrase "swimsuit-clad boaters" should have been a clue to you that something might be different this time.
I’m struggling to recall the name of the band that Edgar Winter fronted in the early seventies ....
The Edgar Winter Group? "Frankenstein" was all the rage for stereo.
Will the electric trolling motor company use that video in an ad?
I was feeling underrepresented... Nice to see Nature correcting itself.
