[Ponte Alto] Woman Attacked at Pennsic

[W. Richmond Beevers]

This is an obscenity!  It idea that anyone cannot walk the streets in peace
and safety is abhorrent in the extreme.  Frankly, Pennsic (and the SCA) have
tolerated thuggery far too long.  It is an unfortunate misconception in some
people's minds, since many of the rules of modern society are inapplicable
in the SCA, that somehow, law, morality, and decent conduct are also
inapplicable.  This individual should be hunted down and hounded out of the
Society.  If not a member, permanently banned!

Yours in Humble Service,

Wulfred , new to the Barony, but no stranger to the SCA or this sort of
stuff)

In te, Domine, speravi
