Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) — It's not even Memorial Day weekend, and Ontario Beach Park in Charlotte has already had two brawls this season.

A witness who provided videos of two fights, which happened Sunday and Monday, said it was many of the same people both times. Parents at the nearby playgrounds grabbed their children and fled the scene. The witness estimated that some 200-300 people started running away from the fray.

Tom Beaman Jr., owner of California Rollin’ II at the Port of Rochester, said the fights are concerning, and it's way too early in the season for them to be happening.

"It's just the riffraff that comes down on the on the buses, it needs to be needs to be monitored," Beaman said.

I'm surprised they didn't censor the term 'riff raff'

Bye Bye Birdie song “Kids”....

They’re disobedient, disrespectful oafs!
Noisy, crazy, dirty, lazy, loafers!
While we’re on the subject:

Kids!
You can talk and talk till your face is blue!

Kids!
But they still just do what they want to do!

Why can’t they be like we were,
Perfect in every way?
What’s the matter with kids today?

Mods and Rockers at it again.

Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents
Five inches long
I’m out on the street again
And I’m leaping along
Dressed right for a beach fight
But I just can’t explain
Why that uncertain feeling
Is still here in my brain

Televise the brawls. They need the revenue.

When I was a kid going to Charlotte Beach was a special family event. Then as a teen, a great place to take a date. Very sad.
