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

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

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 event, dubbed the “Redneck Rave” and 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.

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.

Justin Time, whose legal name is Justin Stowers, wrote on Facebook, “This was the biggest event we’ve ever done and with as many people and random things that popped up unexpectedly I feel like we all handled it very well.”

Doyle told the Herald-Leader last year’s Redneck Raves—there were two—“overwhelmed” his staff. He ordered all his deputies to work mandatory overtime this year and requested assistance from the Kentucky State Police. At least one person died at the event last year. Another Redneck Rave is scheduled for October of this year.

“There were so many intoxicated people, we just decided, ‘If dispatch sends an ambulance in, we’re sending a deputy in with them,’” said Doyle.

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

Yep, it's Kentucky. Redneck does not begin to describe it.

This is why you don't defund the police.

Yes, of course, hicks use meth instead of ecstasy when they rave and there's probably a mouthful of teeth between the attendees. These country music festivals are no joke. Just read about what happens at the concerts of "yeehaw beer and pickup trucks" country singers like Kenny Chesney. It always ends in dozens arrested, people fighting, piles of trash, gallons of vomit and beer bottles, ambulances dragging people to the hospital all night. Even rap concerts have nothing on country shows.

Damn. Everyone’s gangsta until the hicks start impaling each other.

Meanwhile, niggers shot 39 niggers in Chicago with 10 fatalities in the same period and nobody gives a fuck.

It would be funny if Justin Time's real name was Justin Case.

Frankly, I'm a bit relieved that it's rednecks doing dumb shit reported on the news.

We should be fêting the media each time they report retardation without fear or favor. It does show their hand, though, when shit like this grabs headlines, but the Dead Nigger Storage running out of space doesn’t get a look-in.

Last Kenny Chesney concert I heard about was the deadliest mass shooting on American soil. He's not kidding.

Off topic, but my local classic rock station has a DJ named Justin Case.

20k people...3 deaths?

Youre safer with rednecks doing meth than the average city

There are kids’ birthday parties in Detroit that have a higher body count.

20k people...3 deaths?

You sure about the deaths? The article heavily implies the ‘slashed throat’ was lethal but doesn’t confirm it. The choking victim wasn’t killed and the impaled guy hasn’t been confirmed.
Of course, the objective of the article is to make rednecks look bad- if this is all that comes out of 20k methed up hillbillies crashing in a muddy field for a week it’s pretty impressive. Put 20k niggers in that same field for a day and you’d have fifty dead.

Sounds like it would be fun....to watch from a safe distance.

One person slit a friend’s throat

If that's what your friends do I'd hate to meet your enemies.

The Herald Leader story says they aren't aware of any deaths this year, but at least one person died last year.

Incidentally, this is why you should post the original story, and not some other outlet's summary of it.

Ooooh impaled? That rarely happens in this day and age.
Final Destination 2 taught me to never drive behind a logging truck.

That's pretty fucking metal tbh.

Smaller attendance. They don't shoot up or get all stabby at big rap concerts and festivals because they save the shooting for after the show. Except for ICP's Gathering of the Juggalos.

That's pretty fucking metal tbh.

I've always found it hilarious you can attend a metal show where the music is all about murder and Satan and the audience is a bunch of weirdos dressed in black interspersed with some biker guys standing around drinking beer or running into each other in the mosh pit and you're statistically less likely to be injured or killed than you are at a country music show attended by normie rural folk.

Found what I'm doing in October.

one person lost the better part of a finger

This is an absolute requirement for a redneck party. They're always blowing off parts of their fingers, or toes. Luckily, rednecks usually have more than the standard sets of ten of each to begin with, so it just kinda evens things out.
