The Boulder Daily Camera reports that five members of the peace-and-love espousing Rainbow Family were arrested after brawling at a campsite near the Colorado mountain town of Ward. One man was hit in the back of the head multiple times and had to be airlifted to a Denver hospital. He may have also been stabbed in the neck and is unable to speak.
Sheriff's officials said everyone allegedly involved in the fight was part of a "splinter group" of Rainbow Family members who earlier this month were kicked out of a campsite in Pinedale, Wyo., after the group became "very violent" during a national assembly.

In 2006, a member of the Rainbow Family angered over another family member's refusal to help him "regulate" others camping at Ruby Gulch stabbed him in the neck, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Court records show that Joshua Sunchild Silva, known by his Rainbow name of Karma Chip, pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and was sentenced to six months in the Boulder County Jail in the stabbing of Gilbert Hernandez, 31.
