A wedding at a Philadelphia hotel devolved into a drunken all-out melee in the lobby early yesterday morning, as three guests were arrested and another man apparently died of a heart attack.
A 15-year-old girl staying at the Sheraton Society Hill Hotel took the above video of the fight, which involved guests from two different weddings, according to Philly.com. A police spokesman said there was “a lot of alcohol fueling the fight.”
Color us shocked.
The video shows a chaotic scene in which uniformed police officers try to separate and subdue several guests. One officer is seen repeatedly striking at least one person with a baton. A woman’s blood-curdling screams are also heard.
“Did they just deck the bride?” a man’s voice is heard saying on the video. “They just decked the bride.”
A 57-year-old man, who was attending his niece’s weddings, suffered a heart attack and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Two guests were charged with disorderly conduct, and another was tased and cited for assault against a police officer. More arrests are expected, say authorities.
How about we take this to the next level?

Maybe they were all fighting over who was defending traditional marriage better?

they aren’t destroying traditional marriage. they are drunken idiots at a wedding reception, which has strictly nothing to do with marriage.
the ones who ARE destroying traditional marriage are those who think marriage is a temporary contract, who run off to Vegas and get hitched, only to get a quicky divorce a week later when they return to Hollywood.
The ones who divorce their ill wives to marry their mistresses… 3 times in a row.
The ones who film every instant of their wedding preparations to make a TV show, and get divorced a month later.
THEY are the ones making a mockery of marriage.
This video? It’s just a bunch of drunken boorish idiots doing what drunken boorish idiots do best: act like drunken boorish idiots!

” …And those invited to the ceremony but not the reception are feeling a lot better today.”

When I was young in the 80’s and going to gay bars what did I see? Every night the cops were called to at least one of the straight bars to quell a disturbance. They never showed up at the gay bars unless one of the lesbians was being harassed by a straight male. The straight guys get egged on by the straight ladies and it’s a recipe for disaster. Now what state was it that wants to allow guns in bars?
