I can't say I'm surprised that a fight broke out, even over cheap candy -- if that was indeed the reason for the fight during 4th on Broadway. Let's be honest, there are just a lot of people who don't know how to act.
And just so we're all on the same page, the candy during the parade isn't for adults; it's for kids. There are reports that some adults rushed different floats in order to get candy even before the candy was thrown. 4th on Broadway used to be strict about a "no throwing of candy rule," but then they sort of relaxed it. It wouldn't surprise me if that rule is brought back after this year's brouhaha..
