A RAVE REVIEW

This is in response to your Nov 4 article (Police corral hundreds at rave
party). What you fail to mention was that everyone who was issued tickets
were completely innocent of any crimes except for being at what they
thought was a completely legal concert (and as far as I know, it was!)

How do you justify giving tickets to hundreds of innocent people simply
because of the arrest of a few individuals?

If someone got arrested at a bar for possession of drugs, would everyone
else at that bar get arrested? No, they wouldn't. The fact is that this was
a completely legal concert, and the people there were treated unfairly.

I heard from numerous people that when they asked why they were being held
prisoner they were threatened with mace, and one person who said "No" when
he was told to lay down was subdued by police officers.

I'm sorry, but if I didn't do anything wrong and someone told me to lay on
the ground while we were being "processed", I'd probably say "No" too.
