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,” one man had been impaled, one woman had been strangled to the point of unconsciousness, and one throat had been slit. In all, Edmonson authorities arrested 14 people, and charged four dozen people from five states.

The event, organized by country rapper Justin Time, took place in Blue Holler Offroad Park and drew a crowd of tens of thousands, doubling the population of the unincorporated town of Ollie, which is so small it does not have a stoplight. Redneck Rave promoters bragged that they had sold more than 20,000 tickets. The lengthy getdown, advertised as the “biggest country party you’ll ever go to,” boasted a demolition derby, goldfish racing, and a full-scale football game as well as a series of concerts.

13. "Country Rap" is decades old.

It was called Talking Blues back in the '30s.

20. Yes that's actually a thing!

And it's every bit as horrible as you can possibly imagine!

Could be a super spreader event.

I actually thought this was a joke. I'm speechless...I have no speech.

11. Y'all just can't stand the idea of people having fun. ;)

You put thousands of drunken country music lovers together and they are going to party. Eventually somebody's Dan Post boots are going to get stepped on, and then the knives come out. It is the redneck version of the Opera.
