right heres the story.
A rave goes off in Utah in the US. By all accounts its 100% licenced and legal. But Dubya is in town the next day, so the rave gets busted.
Not with coppers in riot gear, but with the national guard, automatic rifles, attack dogs and helicopter support!
video of the bust can be found here
link above like the bit at the end where the cameraman is "persuaded" to put the camera down, you can hear a gun being cocked!
The rave I was at on saturday was policed by one copper in a patrol car and he said he had better things to do and let us go on till 10am!
Here's the sherriff's dept. press release, to get both sides of the story. According to them it was not 100% legal, although I like the fact they admitted to nicking security for posession of drugs which they had confiscated at the gate

although its worth noting the DJ was playing DnB when it all kicked off, so by stratford Rex standards, that much aggression and weaponry is nothing out of the ordinary.
