SWAT team breaks up purportedly legal rave.
Now, I'm sure a lot of kids were getting f'ed up on various illegal things and doing stuff that their parents wouldn't approve of....but c'mon now, do you really need to send in a heavily armed SWAT team in full regalia to deal with the problem?
With dogs?
I have a personal belief that Utah is the platonic ideal of the type of far-right fundie nut-jobs that make up Bush's "base"....it's all homogenous white people who follow one state religion and either try to convert or totally spurn anyone outside their belief system.
And I have a further personal belief that this kind of wild, paramilitary overreaction is exactly what that base would like to see unleashed on anyone who doesn't share their particular brand of ideological mania.
And given that this event happened in Utah, where is this kind of massive official reaction to their homegrown flavor of sexual abuse and exploitation?
I'm about to make Utah an honorary member of the South in my internal geographic ranking of the United States....
