Whats the big deal?
They were just having the usual Oktoberfest.
Nothing has changed much today, except that the ambulances and hospitals prevent death and lasting injuries for the most part.
Women who want to be abducted just attend Oktoberfest. Kids 12 to 13 are kicked out. And older women have a blast.
Children 12 to 13 were old enough to be dangerous and too old to adapt to a new culture if their mothers were with them. So, kill the men, those older children, and keep the women and young children to expand the tribe.
