I am going to need to quote Cormac McCarthy, get shit bloody in here for a minute.

"Within the first minute, the slaughter had become general. Women were screaming and naked children and one old man tottered forth waving a pair or white pantaloons. The horseman moved among them and slew them clubs or knives. A hundred tethered dogs were howling and others were racing crazed among the huts ripping at one another and at the tied dogs nor would this bedlam cease or diminish from the first moment the riders entered the village. Already a number of the huts were afire and the whole enfilade of refugees had begun streaming north along the shore wailing crazily with the riders among them like herdsmen clubbing down the laggards first."
