My story for anyone that is browsing the site:
Last night at 10:00 PM I arrived at a party in the Spanish Fork canyon. I was excited to be there to listen to the great electronic artists that had traveled for to play for the crowd.
Before coming to the event I researched it extensively. The party was %100 percent legal and legit with all permits and necessary security required by law being acquired. The event was well organized, with garbage cans, porta potties, and rope lines blocking off parts of the area that you could no go into.
Now I want you to know that many people out there consider ravers a bunch of drug taking freaks. I also want you to know that that is a stereotype that is passed down through legions of undereducated parents, politicians, and media. There are many of us who are drug free party goers who attend these events for a pure love of the music.
So on to my point. At around 11:00 I was enjoying the good vibes and great music. Then at about 11:30 pm a helicopter began circling the party. Out of nowhere huge semis filled with national guard, swat, and the police rolled up. Soldiers came out of the bushes and rushed down to the party. Carrying M-16s, Ak-47s, nightsticks, and tazers. They proceeded to attack random people and push their might around on people who had done nothing wrong.
I saw about 7 people attacked (before being forced to leave). I saw two of them right in front of me. One was a guy who was walking around with a camcorder stunned at what was happening. A soldier told him to give him the camera now. The raver said no it is my camera. The soldier then proceeded to grab the camera, throw it to the ground and then began beating the kid. In the end they threw him to the ground violently an put their knee into his back while handcuffing him. All for wanting to keep his property. When I last saw him he was knocked out and unmoving.
Another girl next to me said to one of the soldiers that she didn't know how to get home as they had just arrested her friend. The soldier told her to walk home. My friend tried to grab her to bring her with us, but the soldier began yelling that she had touched him (which she hadn't). WIthin seconds, five soldiers had jumped on her and were literally beating the crap out of this innocent women. She was punched in the face, thrown to the ground, and kicked while down. All for worrying how to get home safely. She is now suing.
The soldiers proceeded to attack anyone with cameras or camcorders, obviously wanting to restrict the film that got out about it. This was not a legal attack, it was a blatant violation on our rights as American citizens. And the swat, police, politicians who authorized this, and the national guard knew this. That is why they were removing potential evidence.
We were treated as terrorists, innocent kids without weapons or even violent thoughts in their minds were manhandled, treated like terrorists, and forced to stop doing what we were by constitutional rights allowed to be doing. Our rights were completely removed from us. It was if we had visited the 1960s or communist China.
I hope for the sake of the American people that the news media does not let the lies of the government blind them to what truly happened last night. This could happen anywhere to anyone not just ravers, so AMERICA DON'T LET THIS STAND!

"It was if we had visited the 1960s or communist China."
Even in communist China they don't do that now....
My God that is just disgusting, I really hope those cops or soldiers do NOT get away with anything.

| absolutely fucking disgusted right now-you wanna look at our government as a whole, this is the perfect example-needlessly using military enforcement (!) and wasting money doing so to shutdown a group of people that are gathered to celebrate who they are and the music they love. Is it 2008 yet?! |

| Nah, it's just target practice. Who cares about a bunch of whacked out ravers?!?! I bet this sort of thing doesn't happen at Christian raves. Hmmm.... gives me an idea. |

asrael is right, who cares about a bunch of ravers. the news organizations will only villanize these kids and promoters for what happened. an 'illegal rave, extacy, marijuana cigarettes, counterfet money.' there is and always will be a stigma against dance music and it's ties to drugs, whether or not all of those things were confiscated by the security it still makes for a good spin story. look at those heroic soldiers storming this haven of crime and sin, watch as these soldiers subdue these criminals, god bless america!!!
perhaps people should alert the aclu. |

| The military has no jurisdiction in matters like this, state and federal law enforcements sure but not the Reserve, National Guard or Active military. |
