‘Redneck Rave’ Descends Into Throat Slashing, Impalements, and Mass Arrests

[Sugar Cookie]

A massive country music festival in Kentucky this past weekend started off on rocky footing: Police found meth, marijuana, and an open bottle of alcohol in the first vehicle they stopped at a traffic checkpoint. One of the people in the car had two active warrants out for their arrest.

“We were like, ‘Well, this doesn’t bode well for the weekend,’” Edmonson County Sheriff Shane Doyle told the Lexington Herald-Leader.

By the end of the five-day bash, dubbed the “Redneck Rave,” a man had been impaled, a woman had been strangled to the point of unconsciousness, and a throat had been slit. In all, Edmonson authorities arrested 14 people and charged four dozen people from five states.

The details of the Redneck Rave’s incidents are grisly. One person slit a friend’s throat and remains at large, a 29-year-old man had allegedly strangled a woman until she passed out, one person lost the better part of a finger, and another was impaled when he drove a side-by-side over a 2-3 inch log that broke through the bottom of the recreational vehicle. Paramedics left the log inside him as they airlifted him to a hospital.

Six of the festival-goers face felony charges, and the sheriff’s office filed roughly 30 charges stemming from drug and alcohol violations.

OK, I'm a country music fan, but why why are those people pretending to be swine? Not much would make me wallow in mud like that, and there had better be a lot of zeros on the check, before the decimal point!

What did folks think would happen when you get that many rednecks all in one place? Stupid shit happens, all day long, but when you add in rednecks, well, stupid shit cubed.

I went to a party once that had olive oil wrestling in a kiddie swimming pool. It was rather awesome to watch.

I have been to a few country shows actually and none of that stuff really went on a few drunks maybe.Every one was a free ticket,each time I went kicking and screaming and ended up having a blast.Wore my vest covered with metal patches to a Brad Paisley show hoping to get weird looks but instead I got compliments on how well it was made.

Are you sure all of that is mud? You can't be too sure there haven't been any Lincoln Logs dropped in that mud pit.

I read all these comments and have to mention that no one thought getting impaled wasn't redneck?

I'm thinking how awkward that chopper ride was.

Hey when you're at a redneck party, with more than one redneck, there is no kind of injury that's out of the question, that what makes it so funnnnnn, don't ya know.
