    1. About 8 years ago. Some hicklebilly was walking around with a target drawn on his back, he was showing off to whoever would listen….he was like ” hey look I got shot with dart”….it wasn’t a dart. It was a used syringe hahahahahah….next time think before you wear a target at a Hillbilly festival

    1. Gotta figure, the wannabee hickrods from years ago are a little bit older, in jail, paying child support, it’s just not as feasable.

  1. As we know Country Thunder was limited to 30,000. attendees for each of its 4 days.

    That’s 120,000. Divided by 124 citations and arrests. That’s 1 incidents per 1,000. people.

    We should all hope for a society with these statistics.

    1. I have a friend, retired cop, who told me that every guy he arrested that was high on pot, never fought with him. All they want was to stop for some munchies.

      It’s the drunks that gave him trouble.

      I’m not a fan of driving high anymore more than driving drunk but, pick your poison

  2. Considering the number of people attending seems like a peaceful event.

    Compared to Democrat run Chicago’s weekly love fest:
    Week in Progress (7/21 – 7/27)
    Shot & Killed: 10
    Shot & Wounded: 40
    Total Shot: 50
    Total Homicides: 11

  3. Blunder criminals are usually rich, out of towners under 21 years old. They plan each year to drink heavily, take ALL the drugs and be the life of the party.

    They end up losing all their money, puking on themselves and getting bailed out by mommy.
