Crap, We Were Maried There

Three years ago this week, we were married at this wedding chapel where this motorcycle brawl took place:
The assault trial for eight of 13 men, including members of the infamous Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, began Monday with video of them swarming and bludgeoning rival gang members during a 2008 brawl at a downtown wedding chapel.
Assistant district attorney Chris Owens called the 60-second assault by the Sin City chapter of the Hells Angels an "unprovoked attack" on three members of the Mongols biker gang.
However, veteran defense attorney Tom Pitaro said the defendants were acting in self-defense because the Mongols presence suggested danger....
Authorities say the melee at A Special Memory Wedding Chapel on Fourth Street and Gass Avenue on Dec. 20, 2008, injured at least six, including three members of the Mongols biker gang, two of whom were stabbed.
The brawl followed a wedding ceremony the Hells Angels were attending. As they were leaving, they saw at least three Mongols who were at the chapel for a different wedding.
The 13 men attacked the Mongols, bludgeoning them with their fists, feet, bottles and trash cans.
Pitaro said the defendants "came for a wedding not a fight."
They "acted reasonably under the circumstances as they believed them to be," Pitaro said, adding the Hells Angels perceived danger.  http://www.lvrj.com/news/trial-begins-in-hells-angels-wedding-chapel-brawl-163493556.html
This is like a hockey game.  Go to a wedding and a fight breaks out.
