HOUSTON, Texas —A vicious brawl posted to the internet is generating anger among pastors in Sunnyside, who are vowing to find out the names of those involved in the fight.
“This cannot be tolerated and we have to take some concrete steps,” said Rev. James Nash, the president of a community organization called Ministers Against Crime.
Nash spoke out with other members of his organization after viewing the images for the first time. The fight involved dozens of participants and shows a mob attacking a mother and her daughter at the Kings Row Apartments in Sunnyside.
“It looks like people going wild and it shouldn’t be that way,” Nash added.
According to witnesses, the fight was initiated over a cell phone dispute. Police have not made any arrests, and say since no one has filed a complaint, their hands may be tied. But local pastors are planning to stage an emergency community meeting at the Kings Row Apartments, to get answers about the incident that sent disturbing images of Sunnyside around the world.
“We have to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again and hold the people involved accountable,” said Nash.
