It could be worse

The US Congress isn't the only dysfunctional legislative institution
What began as a routine Homeowners Association meeting turned into something resembling a WWE wrestling brawl on Sunday at The Springs Country Club in Rancho Mirage.

According to Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Myling Bordeau, at about 4 p.m., deputies responded to numerous calls regarding a fight at The Springs’ clubhouse at 75 Columbia Drive.

The brouhaha erupted after the results of the board member election were announced, Bordeau said.

“Some people were upset that a certain person won and began yelling at him and pushing him,” Bordeau said.

The yelling and pushing quickly escalated to chair throwing, fist fighting and tackling.

A club security guard pulled his gun during the chaos, but held it at his side, Bordeau said. 
Homeowners Association belong in their own weird category.
