This was the first event where I truely came close to getting into a fight.
I was walking back to the truck with Josh's flashlight and this drunk guy grabbed my arm. I whipped my head around and said, "Who the f*ck are you?" He just kept tugging on me and saying "come here." So I took Josh's flashlight and put it up to the guy's face and turned it on. :) When I did that he dropped my arm and started rubbing his eyes, so I just turned around and kept walking. And let me tell you that this flashlight is BRIGHT. It is the one that he got from the department and they tell you to be careful with it because it can temporarily blind someone.
There had been a fight where some guy had lit some fireworks and threw them at another guy's feet. The guy got pissed and walked over and punched the guy in the face breaking some of his teeth and slicing his own hand open. One of the deputy's took the guy with the bloody hand and started cleaning him up. I happened to be standing near the mule which had the first aid kit in it so I helped him.
Cleaning that guy up is the reason why I had to walk back to the truck in the first place. The deputy wound up getting blood on his shoes because the guy kept waving his bloody hand around. I had wet wipes in the truck so I went to go and get them while the deputy took care of the guy with the broken teeth. That's when the drunk guy grabbed me.
I'm glad that the flashlight worked in that situation because I would have really hated to get hurt or wind up getting in trouble for attempting to beat the hell out of some drunk guy. So note to self: keep Josh's flashlight on me if I'm by myself at Luther Days.
