Legal Rave Busted

Wow, so now it’s possible for the National Guard to storm in and shut down a totally legal party? (I’m assuming the people posting testimonials aren’t all bleeding liars. I might be wrong.) I’ve never been more than a very peripheral participant in the world of raves—a high school friend hosted some, and DJed, and invited a group I played with to perform at a few, but I was never really emotionally attached to the scene. Still, while there’s a lot of petty drug use at these things, it’s no more than one finds at, say, your average high school, or for that matter you average Baptist church (though those drugs might be technically legal).
And sadly, the only comment I can offer is that it’s not surprising, but it’s not my country, either.
