it looked like they were invading a foreign country.
come to think of it, a rave is probably pretty foreign to utah police but still

"Parents need to be aware of the type of illegal activities that occurs at these type of gathering. Sexual assaults, rapes, overdoses, drugs, alcohol abuse, thefts, and firearms violations."
you could say the same about most street corners, in any major city. Why blame it on a RAVE (hate that word)
"In addition two security personnel hired by the promoter were arrested for possession of cocaine and ecstasy."
err, these security guards had confiscated these drugs after searching a few random cars on entry. Promoter’s don’t want their names sullied by having drug arrests on their plate.
They are taking the bad, amplifying it and sensationalizing it as most reports feel the need to do nowadays.

Fuck the man, how long are we gonna let them push us around ?, as Jim Morrison put it at the Miami Doors concert - the one where he was arrested..
They'll be coming after the design community next, barricading the doors at BD4D..this from KZKG15..
"..Law enforcement officers last night conducted a raid on what Police cheifs described as 'an illegal and dangerous gathering of designers'. A Swat team and typography-sniffing dogs carried out the raid in the early hours, 15 people were arrested for using Comic Sans and dozens more were injured when an unlicensed barrel containing 45degree arrows exploded shortly after 4am.
Responding to complaints of heavy-handedness, Chief Wiggum confirmed intelligence that several weights of a nonUSDA-approved German font - DIN, had been seen changing hands at the event, and every precaution was taken to minimise his officers exposure to the rather manly sans-serif.
Attendees at the event told a different story, with many telling of being soundly beaten in the face for use of undocumented Actionscript features, some saying that trendy flowery shapes for use in motion graphics had been crushed and taken away for analysis."scary shit..

The first one is true; the other 2 could be true. I lived in Logan for 3 years. There are some crazy people and even crazier morals and rules in that place. After reading that report that jevad posted, all I could think about was how bad they lie in UT. When I say they I mean officials. Law enforcement will do whatever it takes so they don't look bad in this situation. UT sucks. Nice place to hike and shit, but that's about it.

Wow! That article makes the ravers sound like gang members or something
"Utah County sheriff's Sergeant Darren Gilbert says they made about 60 arrests for weapons offenses, driving under the influence, underage drinking, drug possession and distribution, resisting arrest, assault on a police officer and disorderly conduct."
'Officers say they found cocaine, Ecstasy, marijuana, mushrooms, alcohol and large amounts of drug paraphernalia. '
It doesnt really mention that the Army showed up to bust the party with guns and helicopters.
