Apparently a rave party in Salt Lake, Utah that was shut down by what looked like swat teams or something.

I can joke around with posts on here all day. Many of the stuff going on in america today you still have the ability to poke fun at. Just like "the daily show" on comedy central does.

I just watched this and I am dumbstruck. I have nothing to say except I'm in shock. For the first time a move to canada seems possible to me. Unless we can stand up to these people and stop this I don't really want to live in a country where this is allowed to go on. Are democratic leaders going to do something. Are they just afraid. WTF is going on today.

1. It wasn't Salt Lake.

It was about 30 miles or so south of Salt Lake in Utah County, Utah.

2. Those local cops looked a lot like military to me.

3. Yes and the attack dogs

What the hell were they needed for. It looked like they were ready to sweep up people and put them into torture camps. It's a bunch of kids listening to music.

4. Makes me start thinking seriously about law school.

Hello fascism in Amurhka......

6. Remember kids, Raves=Drugs=Terrorism

Raves are really Al-Qaeda support parties! Support FREEDOM! Assault and imprison partygoers! Ravers hate freedom! :sarcasm:

7. This is just the start

I heard Gonzales is rounding up all the gang members and holding them without charges. If some people are not gang members, but held anyway for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, oh well. Life is a bitch. This is the next step. Our children will be targeted and treated as terrorists, and America continues to slumber. It just makes me sick!

8. looks like the army, not SWAT... Posse Comitatus, anyone?

Our Democratic leaders won't breathe a word of it. They're too terrified of getting anthraxed or Wellstoned, and if they did breathe a word the microphone would get cut before they got anywhere.

9. Don't leave.

Things have been far worse in this country than this temporary conservative power grab.

Stick around and help us fix it.
