A wild brawl broke out at an Ohio kindergarten graduation after a woman was accused of taking up too many seats and blocking other parents' views on their children's big day.
Craig Mays, one of the parents attending the Thursday morning ceremony at Queen of Apostles School, said the fight started when a separate family grabbed their own chairs and began creating their own seating space.
That made his daughter's mother unable to see, causing the confrontation to escalate with 28–year–old Jessica Anderson, who was seated just behind them at the ceremony in Toledo, about 240 miles north of Columbus, near the border with Michigan.
'The girl behind me she's just talking, just cussing, talking crazy,' Mays told WTVG. 'Calling us weird and saying we need to mind our business.'
After a brief argument, Mays said Anderson's family of ten – five men and five women in the first two rows – suddenly attacked them.
'I literally don't remember anything,' Mays said. 'I just know I was sucker punched.'
Mays said a group of four or five men began kicking him in the head when he was on the ground, prompting his daughter's mother to intervene and begin fighting with Anderson.
'She grabbed my kid's mom by her hair, pulled her away from me, started punching her face then maybe five or six other girls came and trampled her and were just stomping her, kicking her in the face,' Mays added.

Besides all of this, when did “Kindergarten graduation” become a thing? Sounds ridiculous.
Graduation signals an achievement. What have small children achieved? They nap half the time they’re in “class.”
SAME HERE. HAD 8th GRADE & 12th GRADE “GRADUATIONS”.
Surprisingly, it was a mix.
But my guess is that the whites were defending themselves.
We didn’t even have an 8th grade graduation. We had an awards thing, near the end, but it was more of a morale builder for high school entry.
When I was kindergarten age, the rural school district where I lived offered a half day for like the last three months of the school year.
It was entirely optional and my parents bless them thought it should be my option.
I said no, because even though I was looking forward to going to school, I didn’t think kindergarten was “real” school.
Don’t regret it.
I got a fine education in the public schools I attended and for that I am forever thankful.
I hear you. Just the other day my great niece sent me pictures of her son graduating kindergarten. He had a cap and gown and a certificate. They acted like it was some kind of real achievement.
This is out in the country in Tennessee, too.
Bunch of weak minded people swallowing the Leftist agenda.
The same kindergartener plays football and has already received four or five tournament rings. Freaking ludicrous.
You can tell it’s a formal ceremony from the pink pajamas and fuzzy slippers one brawler was wearing.
The kids may remember this graduation more than the 8th grade graduation.
Kindergarten graduation is stupid. You are celebrating them staying alive for a year. It’s a pretty low bar. And the graduate usually has nothing to do with their success.
It’s almost as stupid are grammar school graduation.
Low IQ decline of America. This is why China laughs at us.

But they arrested the black woman. How racist is that?
The group perhaps, including those who intervened as most would, but not the one felony arrested or her family of 5 men and 5 women who were described as backing her physical assault
Unfortunately, there is something common to such incidents and that is the fact that others often rush to join in the beating and pummel a victim on the ground.
Folks with sharpened senses of "street awareness" are prepared for such behavior.
“””Jessica Anderson, 28, was charged with felonious assault in connection to the kindergarten graduation ceremony brawl””””
Check out her photo. She was the one arrested.
“And by the name, a private school kindergarten, not a government school.”
Queen of Apostles School, Ohio, Roman Catholic school. But hey, it could have happened during bingo.
wy69
The Queen of Apostles School is a Catholic school
The only one I had was 12th.
I guess my college had one but I didn’t bother going.
What were the Teachers doing when the “wrongful seating” was happening, shopping on Amazon with their cell phones?
Someone should have been managing (or babysitting) the gathering crowd.
Did the Jomama ever gradumuate from Kindergarten her own self?
