On this subject a persional rainbow story came from a comment on #failbook rainbow page.

Q. I remember with a smile this scene, where Hamish and an other guy were fighting with sticks and spears for a space in a car. Hamish wanted the place for himself and the other guy to transport rubbish from a beach to the center of athens, make a scupture and become famous on TV….. Hahaha… lets laugh… Anyway the enviromental organisations of the village collected the rubbish, after I have asked them… So much to rainbows, growing camps, peace love, practical thinking and harmony…

A. it was a bit more complex than your memory. The other guy was abusing a nice but meek local greek guy with a car who need to leave for work. This had already delayed him from leaveing the gathering for two days because the arty germony guy and “rubbish” project was not ready to leave for the festival. I stepped in to ask the germon guy to stop takeing the piss. He replied by threatening to hit me, i replied quite seriously if we should fight with clubs or spears to this he blustered and backed down. To stop him threatening/manipulating the greek guy I started to practice spear throughing on the beach, am kinda good at it 😉 The greek guy, allready late for his job, left the gathering latter in the day with relief i left with him for Athens. The Germany guy turned up to threaten us both agen before we left. He was a ego asshole playing the holly roller. The trash project was abandoned at the art festival unfinished i heard latter from the greek guy with the car.

Its kinda funny but also dangerous and abusive. Its intresting how rainbow deals with issues like this have seen a few. My favorite story is from the European gathering for the solar eclipse in Hungary way back. The was a guy abusing and shouting at people and being violent/threatening kids. Circling on what do do went round and round with lots of people speaking and no outcome. At dusk a group of witches from the circal grabbed the guy and tied him to a tree to cast spells at him all night. The next day he was back to his dangerous behavior. A nurse working in the healing area took the solution into her own hands and called the police who came and peacefuly took him away. It turned out he was schizophrenic and had stopped taking his meds at the gathering. Kinda funny, kinda sad, kinda bad. He came back fine after a stay in a hospital for a few days.
