An
American
hero
had
his
day
in
court
and
we’re
happy
to
report
that
he
will
not
be
seeing
any
jail
time.
According
to
a
TMZ
article,
Reggie
Bernard
Ray,
the
man
who
became
an
internet
celebrity
for
the
way
he
wielded
a
folding
chair
to
knock
the
Sonic
rings
out
of
an
attacking
Anglo-Saxon
in
the
now-infamous
Montgomery
Brawl,
entered
a
guilty
plea
for
the
charge
of
misdemeanor
disorderly
conduct.
Not
assault,
not
battery,
not
any
violent
crime
that
would
misrepresent
his
intentions,
simply
misdemeanor
disorderly
conduct.
Same
charge
that
a
drunk
rabble-rouser
would
get
for
being
too
loud.
We
never
imagined
that
a
state
like
Alabama
would
give
a
brotha
a
fair
shake
in
an
instance
like
this
but
we
couldn’t
be
happier
to
be
wrong.
The
terms
of
the
plea
deal
state
that
Ray
is
to
complete
50
hours
of
community
service
(one
might
argue
that
he
was
doing
community
service
during
the
brawl
but
we
digress)
and
a
90-day
suspended
sentence.
In
essence,
as
long
as
Ray
does
his
hours
and
doesn’t
get
arrested
for
anything,
he’ll
walk
away
scot
free.
According
to
an
11Alive
report,
this
marks
the
last
of
the
criminal
charges
connected
to
the
brawl.
Let
us
never
forget
the
Fade
in
the
Water.
