HARDIN CO.—Yet another individual at The Gathering of the Juggalos warranted emergency medical response tonight.
At about 5:25 p.m. (Wednesday, August 7, 2013) a 16-year-old was reported to authorities as having chest pains.
Emergency medical responders were called to the scene at the Hog Rock Campgrounds north of Cave-in-Rock. There’s been no word on the outcome of the response.
So far, there have been no deaths to report at The Gathering, which events actually kick off tonight with concerts of relatively-unknown rap-wannabes and other shock/violence/thug-type groups. Other events include “pro” wrestlers and Faygo contests such as wet t-shirts. In years past, the organizers have usually had a porn star or someone of otherwise questionable pop status, but we haven’t learned whether this is the case this year.
However, the status of authorities’ response vehicles is changing a bit this year…thus far, it’s been reported to Disclosure that some of the police vehicles are starting to show some wear…or as one witness puts it, “starting to break down.” It’s unclear whether this person was talking about local police, county deputies or state police cruisers, or perhaps ambulance rigs, as Hardin’s is overtaxed as it is, and other resources are having to fill in (from Pope and Gallatin) for the county.
More on it as we get it; keep checking back.
