Taiwan and South Korea have long numbered among world leaders in the entertaining genre of Brawls in Parliament, but now there’s a new upstart, Uganda, raising the rhythmic bar:

The Man in White Socks who leaps on the table at 3:10 must have watched Michael Jackson’s Beat It video about a thousand times. (Also, stick around to see what happens at 3:31 when somebody throws a chair.)
Can you imagine what kind of ratings C-SPAN would get if Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell dance-fought regularly?

This would never have happened if Idi Amin were still running the show.
That was an impressive catch. That guy should get reelected.
I love the hats. People should wear more hats.
Nobody gonna accuse them of wearing dull colors!

Yes the colonials learned a lot.
Nothing to see here, no relationship at all to the constant stream of brawls at Chuck-E-Cheese, your local mall, your local fairground, all the riots, etc. And you are racist if you think so.

The Motherfucker of Parliaments.
Sumner got what he deserved. Preston Brooks is a hero.
It’s striking how silly and ineffectual actual brawls look compared to well-choreographed fights in the movies. Lots of slapping and shoving.
NFL could use him.

I recall that years ago, before MMA, full contact karate matches had to institute a rule that competitors could only throw so many punches before they had to throw a kick, because kicking was not that instinctive or effective a technique, unless you caught someone by surprise.
Real life brawls also tend to result in limited damage because untrained men are exhausted after about 30 seconds. Tom Wolfe once gave a hilarious recounting of two New York businessmen getting into a fight over whose taxi it was. They quickly ended up clutching each other, gasping for air, too winded to keep calling each other "asshole" anymore and going "assu! assu! assu! assu!".Replies: @Rod1963
Don’t want to start up the whole magilla all over again, but does anyone know 1.) point of contention that kicked off what can only be called legislative “Thriller” rehearsal, and 2.) whether mikestands as impromptu weaponry have ritual connotation.
Doubtful First World brains would be of help here.
These ladies and gentlemen should be a good example for black folks in America to follow.
All that fighting, all that anger, all that disrespect, yet nobody–NOBODY–pulled out a knife or a gun.
It was colorful. Did that guy moonwalk on the table?
I’m digging those fezzes. Sharp!
Guy near the end was wearing a purple shirt.
I guess the suit doesn’t make the man
Is that the same ‘security’ (policing?) that was at the Charlottesville fiasco?
Uganda has a parliament?
Mic stands are wicked. They’re heavy (at the base.) Many a rock band has used them to defend themselves at rowdy bars.
I liked this fight in Japan’s parliament, because it was over their pacifist policies.
Nobody wants to risk being hurt.
That’s one heck of a catch at 3:31 by the guy in the white suit.
NFL is surely watching to recruit new talent.
Btw, why are all the men bald? Is nappy hair out of fashion in Africa too?
OT: And so it begins.
We’ve said it over and over: There is no place in the Democratic Party for Jews and non-Jewish whites (including white women). Wonder if my wife will eventually figure this out.

Ms. Sanchez thinks that Ms. Pelosi needs to step aside for a “new” generation, i.e. not white.
Let it burn.
The GOP has been better age and whitewise with leadership stuff, but what people my age ooze their way into politics are almost all teacher's pet types. It's not a variance of Boomer thought patterns - it's Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan.
I did think it was funny she even bothered asking, though. My sense from watching the Boomers in media, Hollywood, and political roles is that their last day involves a coffin or a nursing home bed. A graceful retirement where the reins are handed over in an orderly fashion is not in the cards. She's gonna pay for implying the Pelosi is old.
Parliament Funkadelic, true dat.
Most impressive is the guy catching the chair.
NFL could use him.
This is a classic…
U-fucking-ganda! They kick ass!
Why can’t our congress be more like that? Their approval would go up.
The fact that no such brawls ever happen in the American parliament is good evidence for how the idea that both parties are really just one uniparty is correct. For such a divided country how else can one explain that politicians never come to trading punches with each other?
There is a Ugandan online news mag called chimpreports.com. I kid you not. By Ugandans, for Ugandans. Lots of lifestyles and scandals of the rich and famous Ugandans.

Although none of the MPs has explained how the colour red was adopted for the [constitutional presidential] Age Limit campaign, it appears this is being borrowed from the South African Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a “Marxist-Leninist” political party headed by Julius Malema a self-professed racist and one of the most offensive an controversial politicians on the African continent. Malema has been described as the “pantomime villain of South African politics,” and “the best friend of controversy.” His offensive, abrasive nature, his unhidden loathe for people of different races topped with criminal convictions, makes him a real piece of work. Malema and his EFF which was formed in 2013 adopted wearing red overalls as its uniform, despite being against the rules of the South African Parliament. They refuse to dress conventionally for the 400-strong house, and threaten to come naked to the floor if they are forced to remove the red jumpsuits.Replies: @Logan, @Anonymous

This is one of the few areas I think Africa is ahead of the west. Bear with me- human behavior is based more on circumstance and emotion then reason. So being in a parliament with routine hand to hand combat should result in different types of legislators (and legislation) then one without. Less virtue signaling and more fitness signaling.
Friend of mine studies Brazilian Jujitsu. The training accommodates the fact that in real one-on-one brawls humans don’t stand there hopping around trading punches and round house kicks, they end up after the first ten seconds rolling around on the floor tearing each others shirts. The training therefore emphasizes disabling holds and short blows while on the floor with your opponent.

The guy ended up in the hospital and the Mexican thugs are doing prison time. His mistake. He thought he was doing a sports fight. This is the reality of fights on "da streetz" no one plays fair.
Worse, you fight the wrong person who doesn't play fair and just shanks you when you try a leg pick or when you're rolling with him. You won't even feel the blade enter you.
The problem is you don't get to pick your opponent. Given the amount of drugs and booze used in this country chances are you'll be fighting someone that's just plain ass whacked out of their mind.

They are all pikers compared to Sam Houston, who as a congressman shot a general in a duel and as an Indian Affairs official beat a congressman with a cane.
…”the motion passes, the Ugandan Parliament will be transitioning to Ticonderoga 3B pencils…”
Who else wants to see Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer doing this?
I guess shaven heads are the style among the younger male Ugandan parliamentarians. It’s striking that many of them look almost identical, in height, physique and looks.
That's what 100 percent diversity looks like.

Whoa— I just spent the last half hour reading Tintin in the Congo as Toto’s “Africa” played on repeat. I click on iSteve, et voilà!
The men with the shaved heads and no ties might be security personnel.
Love the Fez-like red hats. I want to get one of those.
You’re right. But the guy calmly catching the chair that was thrown at him was like something out of a Jackie Chan movie.
How can we encourage this to happen in our own congress?
It would be good for these guys to take a punch and throw a punch.
I’ve got to say that Tintin in the Congo, the very first book, has little of the charm and outright genius that characterizes the later Tintin books.
Not only did Congo lack charm, it didn't have the beauty of some of later Tintins. As a kid I would just stare at the back cover looking at all those gorgeous covers of the other books in the series (my copies are in French so I don't know all the English titles, but L'Isle Noir and Le Lotus Bleu were masterpieces).
In my humble opinion Tintin in the Congo, the very first book, has little of the charm and outright storytelling genius that characterizes the later Tintin books.
If you expect to get in to a brawl now and then, having a shaved head might be a good idea: no hair for your opponent to grab.
Looks like a Chuck E. Cheese.

There’s a vicious headbutt toward the end. The guy seems genuinely terrified of being frog-marched out of there like those other guys. I couldn’t help noticing it wasn’t uniforms carrying them out of there but other politicians. What we don’t see could be much worse.

Marc MacYoung and Rory Miller talk a lot about “social violence” (intra-tribal violence to establish dominance and hierarchy within a group; culturally regulated by informal, unwritten rules) vs. predatory violence (perpetrated against strangers or enemies outside the group). Many bad things happen to people who expect the conventions of social violence in situations where those rules don’t apply.

The generation thing is also true, though. The Democrat Boomers have been very unwilling to have non-Boomers in even the deputy type roles that lead to leadership.
