I started going raves and free parties from 1990 onwards..one of the reports say these were criminal acts..all I wanted to do was dance and cuddle and gurn my face off.,.what a criminal huh?
But honestly if you've ever been to one of these things you know its not all about the drugs, even though thats what the government is trying to get everyone to think.
Even in this video is says 30 people were arrested. That includes possession AND the dumbasses who desecrate the awesome venues. 30 people out of the massive amount of people isnt a very big number.
If you've been then you know literally thousands of people converge on these things
Yeah! acid house parties ruined my life, WHEN THE COPPERS WOULD STOP THEM" HAHAHAHA!. what a load of crap, everyone was having so much fun with each other, it only got ugly when the authorities made it that way, they never stopped us did they, our legacy rolls on.
Dont ya just love the media - absolute bollox - Look at Jack Straw!!!!!!!! What a cock - none of the propaganda was true of course - but it's all a bit weird watching all that shit from 20 yrs ago.. savage. Missed. Twenty years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great post. We never had to deal with such heavy handed police tactics in San Francisco. I think that the Brit transplants that jump started the scene here had learned how to avoid the coppers. If a party was raided it was moved to a back spot within a few hours that extended the party to dawn.
Yeah, back in the early 90's in Los Angeles, promoters would often rent out a location from an unsuspecting owner, saying that they were gonna use it for a movie premier party or some other bullsh!t story like that, and boom! Warehouse full of 5000 ravers. Or just bust the lock, and sound systems in the beds of pickup trucks loaded against the docks, ready for a hasty exit. Wasn't till the mid/late 90's when promoters started calling the cops on each other, then truly over.
I was in the ITN news clip! Those robo cops wer animals that night. As for local cop shops I was on my way to fkin Hull a litte gaff called east or west Kirby. 40 notes for a 20 mile taxi trip back to Morley. And all the SHIT on the floor as they wer loading us in the vans was outa this world!!! Bags a powder, pils,hash,green it was hard to just walk on LOL
The gov't want you to leave school, get a job in a factory, work your fingers to the bone all week and pay income tax. Then spend your money in pubs and clubs all weekend which is also heavily taxed.
Ecstacy freed your mind from all that crap and filled everyone with an unquashable positivity. But the gov't get no tax from raves and drugs so they had to stamp it out giving the police a free and passing new laws.
Did you hear what that piece of shit Jack Straw was saying. Something about old peoples life's being devastated by acid house parties....How the hell did he come to that extreme conclusion?
Honestly it's unbelievable how the media was reacting to the dance scene back then. I'm surprised the media wasn't calling these acid house parties, meeting places for extremist terrorist organisations.
All people wanted to do was dance for christs sake. Talk about a 1984 George Orwell nightmare.
I remember the first time the police kicked off in blackburn, it was down on whitebirk, loads of people piling out of the fire escape whilst being truchioned by the police. i lost all respect for the police that night
think it was same night the guys at sett end had passed out a letter on the door letting people know the police had no right to stop them entering the parties once they were set up and running etc,
think it was titled "no organisation or no bottle?"
And ya know I was there,lol.Have it.
