Around 9 p.m., near the dam bridge in Karmac, the Red Rooftop Bar was bustling with patrons coming and going early on Christmas Eve.
Bars are naturally hotbeds of conflict, with alcohol, music, and the opposite sex stirring up trouble among those not in their right minds.
Therefore, the Karmac Town Police Department specifically arranged for officers to patrol nearby, ready to provide support at any moment.
For a village town police department, their jurisdiction is merely the town itself, mostly locals and acquaintances, so the police work isn't usually busy.
On Christmas Eve tonight, it's clear many chose the bar as their gathering spot. Since nightfall, officers had already mediated three disputes.
