The Ventura County Fair in Southern California is a once a year event where a diversity of cultures come to celebrate the harvest, cotton candy, amusement park rides and award winning livestocks. My friend next to me yanked me hard and pointed to the fight that erupted between two gangbangers. I've never grown up with violence and to be thrust into the arena was very unnerving and chaotic. Just as fast as the incident occurred it was over in a minute. The whole situation was surreal from the rage that I saw... In a place of joy the human condition just couldn't help itself to be disruptive.
