Partial transcript: “Hey! You fuckin’ (inaudible). Yeah bro! Yeah bro! Yeah! Yeah! Fuck ’em up! Fuck ’em up! He started it. Who dat? Who dat? Froggy Carr, what? Who dat, who dat, who dat Froggy Carr? This is what happens (inaudible)… over a Trump flag. Piece of trash… guy took the flag… <whistling sound> Whoah whoah whoah! That was out of hand. Happy New Year!… Yo over our Trump flag. What? Over our Trump flag.”
Looks like cooler heads ultimately prevailed. Kinda hard to tell what precipitated the kerfuffle since the video starts with the flag lowered near the guy’s head. But there are a couple of right hands thrown when the camera dips before popping back up.
Not sure how many people here are familiar with Froggy, but they were in the news a couple of years ago because Mayor Kenney disqualified them from the competition for wearing blackface. The Froggy member who was interviewed on TV said he wasn’t racist, but was wearing the makeup to honor a friend who had died. Later, Froggy leaders explained they were doing a Gritty theme and that the two blackface guys went rogue, so they were banned permanently from marching.
I am not related to this guy, but when I saw his name first pop up I had an aneurysm:
