(LEX 18/WNKY) — Kentucky is getting international attention for a recent five-day party billed as a "Redneck Rave." Dozens of people were arrested or cited.
Blue Holler OffRoad Park in Edmonson County hosted last week's event that organizers said would feature "mud, music, and mayhem."
It was mayhem for sure. The sheriff told WNKY that 14 people were arrested and another 34 were cited on criminal charges that ranged from assault and strangulation to drug and alcohol possession. One man reportedly had his throat slit, and a woman was allegedly choked "until she was losing consciousness" in a fight over a blanket.
Some who attended reported accidental injuries. That included one person who was impaled by a log that pierced the floorboard of his vehicle.
The organizer posted on Facebook they plan to improve on the things that happened at this event and make the one scheduled for October even better.

From an article linked in this article (throat slit link):
"The sheriff’s office took preventative measures, like setting up traffic checkpoints. It didn’t take long to make the first arrest.
“The first vehicle that came through, we found meth, marijuana, and an open alcohol container,” Doyle said. “And then one of the occupants had two active warrants ... “We were like ‘well, this doesn’t bode well for the weekend.’”

So like...is that an increase or decrease of throat slittings, strangulations, and impalements?

Of course Afroman was there. He’s played The Gathering of the Juggalos. Maybe he is like the Harbinger of Chaos.
