Eight people have been arrested in connection with a violent brawl earlier this month at Lake Winterset that left two participants temporarily unconscious and was captured on cellphone video, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said.
What we know:
Deputies responded at around 3 p.m. August 2 to a report of a fight near the shoreline, but those involved had fled by boat before law enforcement arrived. The investigation advanced on Aug. 10 after video of the incident appeared on social media, showing several people punching and kicking each other as children stood nearby. According to affidavits, one person was seen falling headfirst into the lake while unconscious, and another was given CPR by a bystander. Witnesses told deputies the altercation disrupted their day and distressed their families.

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
That’s some mean looking skunks.
♫ Lakeside brawl, willows in the breeze
Lakeside brawl, so many memories ♫
Usual people.
8 Arrests.
And it 6, 7, 8 strikes you’re out at the old brawl game.
As that amateur life saver administers CPR to the unconscious person of the ground, that other guy on the left is thinking “I would help but who would hold my beer?”
“What we know” and “what we will tell you” are not necessarily the same thing.
So, not dead....
It’s not them, Yogi.
affray,

More like iffray affray, I’d say.
Rednecks playing polo in a match that got out of hand.
I did not look or read past the headline.
I looked at a house for sale on that lake. It was a zoo on the day I looked. I bought another house on a larger, but much less busy lake. I seldom see 2 0r 3 boats on the lake at the same time and no crazies.
Feral mentality is infesting our nation.
It’s spreading like the cancer it is.
It was kinda funny watching that chick pumping on the guy’s chest from a previous FR thread. She really getting after it.
If it was them, Yogi, there would have been 200 shots fired and no injuries.
