Five members of the “Rainbow Family” — a loose-knit band of hippies that preaches love, tolerance and peace and is best known for its large gatherings every July — were arrested Tuesday night by Boulder County sheriff’s deputies after a violent brawl broke out at the group’s campsite near Ward.

at a fight had broken out among a group of a dozen people camping out in the area of Ruby Gulch, located on state Forest Service property ...

When deputies arrived, witnesses reported that one man, a Nederland resident aged 34 or 35, was hit in the back of the head multiple times with a shovel and possibly stabbed in the neck during the fight...

Some witnesses reported a second person being stabbed...

everyone allegedly involved in the fight was part of a “splinter group” of Rainbow Family members who earlier this month were kicked out of a campsite in Pinedale, Wyo., after the group became “very violent” during a national assembly.

Lindsey said about 100 members of the larger gathering have so far made their way to the Nederland area.

>> Guy shoulda watched South Park. He would have known to use bear spray on them.

You could always just cut into a steak -- most of them will simply pass out. Slap a few of them ... open handed, of course. Take care of the rest by brandishing an HK. Probably don't even need to aim it or fire -- their fear of firearms should take over, and they'll flee.

These New Age hippies just aren’t like the old ones of the piece and love era, they had more fun, man.

Hippies are among the lowest forms of life. Too bad they have taken over society.
