Really, Didn't They Know?

The City of Los Angeles is going to rethink its policy of letting "rave" type events happen in the Coliseum. They currently have a moratorium on them. This decision comes on the heels of the event on June 30, at which more than 100 people were injured, several people were arrested, and one 15 year old girl died.

Who's brainchild was this anyway? Did anyone think to ask the cops what happens at raves: young people exposed to dangerous behavior, the almost trademark abuse of the drug "Ecstasy"? Was the money that good that this event just needed to happen? With immigration protests and Laker championship games, aren't there enough dangerous events?

These LA City Council People - and the responsible bureaucrats - should have used some common sense. This waste of resources was surely not an event that needed to happen. Although, thinking about the type of event and the class of attendee, the Coliseum was probably the right place...now if they just had lions.
