[Sca-cooks] Woman fends of knife wielding attacker by using pewtermug as a weapon at Pennsic

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

What day/night at Pennsic did this happen? i never heard a peep about it!!!!

sadly there are attacks and assaults at Pennsic every year, but they are
usually *unarmed* attackers... and/or guys trying to take advantage of women
who appear to be drunk.
