Yeah 60, and some overdosed minors who were handed over to their parents...which would make perfect sense...but the whole commandos coming down in helecopters is pretty retarded, not to mention the kicking and such. |

Okay, do you really need a para-military group to break up a rave? I mean really, when was the last time you saw a bunch of raver's resisting authority and getting violent? That was a complete over reaction on the part of the police, which illustraites the lack of understanding that exists regarding us and what we're about. That misunderstanding is the whole root of this paranoia that exists about raves. People really do think that they are some evil underworld thing where everyone gets ed up and you have kids ing on the dance floor with needles hanging out of their arms then go slink off into the corner to OD while other depraved drug fiends eat their corpses....
That being said I think I am clearly part of the problem. |
that's hillarious :stongue: :stongue: :haha: :haha: |

The video Footage is awsome (in the sence of what really happened).
Very sad but interesting to see from a few prospectives. Lets hope this doesn't happen again and things get sorted out properly...

| I'm so very glad I'm not an American. It's stories like this which lead me to question how their nation can continue to to believe they are the 'land of the free'. I don't even understand why they still are fighting their 'war on drugs' in the manner they are. |

Overdosed.... ON E?????? My record is 8 pills at one party and I was able to walk my ass out of the club and into a car (didn't drive), take a shower, get dressed, go to church, chat casually with the priest, paint my living room, cook and eat dinner before I passed out with absolutely no ill effects (other then getting some paint on the base boards.... shaky sketched out hands). How many pills do you need to take before you OD? |

Hey I'm just quoting don't shoot the messenger :haha: :stongue: They found other drugs too though so I don't know :)
By the way unfortunately the video wouldn't do much in terms of defending the victim in this case. :( We have no idea what happened before so they can say anything they want really there's no proof. It's not like that Jamajama (however you spll his name) kid that was punched by a TO cop... |

Well I am assuming each person would be different based on size, weight, etc. |

Police raid rave party in Spanish Fork Canyon
Party's over: 90 officers from several agencies cite 60 at the event, which had more than 400 people in attendance
By Michael N. Westley
The Salt Lake Tribune
About 60 people were arrested Saturday night when police officers busted an illegal rave in Spanish Fork Canyon.
Those arrested were cited on a variety of charges including the possession of illegal narcotics, weapons violations, DUI, illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor, disorderly conduct, assaulting a police officer and drug distribution.
The youngest of those cited was 15 years old, said Utah County Sheriff's Sgt. Dan Gilbert.
Police in Utah County have monitored several raves this summer and have grown increasingly concerned about their legality and safety, Gilbert said. When detectives got word that another party was planned for Saturday, they set to work to make sure they got their point across that such activity was not welcome in their area.
"The Sheriff's Office will investigate and look into and find an illegal mass gathering going on, we will take the appropriate action to stop the party at that time," Gilbert said.
Investigators learned that no permit had been requested for a mass gathering which requires a bond and Utah County Commission approval for groups larger than 250, said Gilbert. Police learned around noon Saturday that the rave would be held in the Diamond Fork area of Spanish Fork Canyon and assembled about 90 officers from several agencies to enforce crowd control.
Undercover officers filtered into the party when the doors opened about 9 p.m. By 11:30 p.m. police confirmed that more than 250 people were in attendance and stormed the party. During their two hours at the DJ-driven dance party, undercover officers had observed a multitude of illegal activities including the sale and consumption of drugs such as cocaine, ecstacy, alcohol, methamphetamine and marijuana.
"The sale of drugs at these parties is so prevalent that at this particular rave party, drugs were offered to local off-duty emergency medical service personnel who were contracted to be there," Gilbert said.
A 17-year-old West Jordan girl overdosed on ecstasy, police said. Most of the participants were between 15 and 30 years old and were from Spanish Fork, Springville, Provo, Payson, as well as Davis and Salt Lake counties, Gilbert said. Two security guards hired by the promotor were arrested for the possession of cocaine and ecstasy and Spanish Fork police made two DUI arrests as partyers drove out of the canyon, he said.
Most of the 400 or so ravers left peacefully.
But others were detained if they had been seen doing something illegal or showed visible signs of impairment, said Gilbert.
In a sweep of the area after the crowd had been controlled, which one raver said was executed with unnecessary force, police found a plethora of drugs and drug paraphernalia scattered on the ground, Gilbert said.
Brett George told Fox News 13 that officers stormed the party and treated attendees unfairly, including beating one man that was trying to film the bust with a video camera.
Police want parents of teenagers to know the dangers of illegal, clandestine rave parties. Gilbert said that in addition to heavy drug use, raves attract sexual assaults, violence, theft and promote unsafe driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

From the attached news artical
"Officers found cocaine, Ecstasy, marijuana, mushrooms, alcohol and large amounts of drug paraphernalia.
Gilbert says a 17-year-old West Jordan girl was found overdosed on Ecstasy, and was treated and released to her parents."
What is "overdosed on Ecstasy"? Has anyone ever actually seen someone overdosed on Ecstasy? I've seen people get dehydrated but not OD. Had they said ODed on blow or booze I could believe it but not on E (unless it was dirty as hell and then it serves her right for not testing her pills). |
