More like the Jets and the Sharks from an NHL Game.

They decked the halls — and each other.
A ritzy Nantucket Christmas celebration erupted into mayhem as men decked out in “Ralph Lauren and Burberry” traded blows just moments after Santa Claus made his appearance, according to shocking footage.
The wild brawl broke out on Federal Street Saturday afternoon during the Massachusetts island’s 51st Annual Christmas Stroll, where hundreds had gathered to visit local businesses in one of America’s priciest small towns, the Nantucket Current reported.
In dramatic video shared with the outlet, about a dozen men — ranging in age from 20s to 60s — were seen arguing and shoving each other in the middle of the street before breaking into small groups, where the aggression continued to escalate.
“All of the sudden there were two groups,” a witness told KISS108 on Tuesday.
“It was kind of like the Jets and the Sharks from West Side Story, only in Ralph Lauren and Burberry. It was 20-somethings versus like 60-somethings.”
In one group, a young brawler could be seen pushing an older gentleman. In another, a young slugger sucker-punched a man in a snazzy brown trench coat in the back of the neck, prompting another person to leap onto the attacker’s back, the chaotic video showed.
One of the scrappers was then thrown to the ground, as an older man charged after someone much younger and tried to land a punch — all while a black SUV sat in the middle of the road.

One simply does not wear white after Labor Day...........
Those unfamiliar with Massachusetts should know that Nantucket is the (slightly) poorer cousin of obscenely wealthy Martha’s Vineyard.

There was a fight on Nantucket.....
From New Canaan,Connecticut! Many of New Canaan’s homeowners summer on Nantucket...or Martha’s Vineyard.
Chablis bottles were flying everywhere!
I only see two people fighting. I thought it would be a major brawl.

There once was a man from Nantucket,
Whose head was as hard as a bucket.
He watched Santa ride by,
then got pissed at some guy,
And knocked his ass back to Pawtucket.
Great first sentence of the article! Dad joke worthy.
“a young slugger sucker-punched a man in a snazzy brown trench coat “….. you dont see “snazzy” enough in print😂😂😂
Come on Nantucket, who do you think you are? People in Dorchester, Springfield or Holyoke?

This may be the least masculine fight I’ve ever seen. Small man jumping on the guys back like he wants a piggy back ride. Followed by an another man trying to throw punches with a sweater vest around his neck. 🤣
My wife and I spent our honeymoon on Cape Cod. We took a ferry from Hyannis to Nantucket and had a delightful time for a day. We even too a sailboat ride- think it was on a sloop? Scrimshaw, sailing history, quaint little shops. It was a good time for a day, back in June 1981….
I’m sure it was just a group of re-enactors recreating the Boston Massacre...
Weddings in Hobbs NM. Generally instigated by Latinas.
Not so much funerals. Gunfights are reserved for deciding who gets the crap vehicle, the tools, and ascertaining who is the real wife.
