  • Stuffed animals?  Holy mother of god, noooooooo!! The danger is just not worth it!!

  • "I had no idea what the fuck I was talking about, but I tried be a complete dictator anyway. Later, I found out that book I swore to uphold was something called a "constitution". I sure as hell don't believe in it, but apparently, there are also these things called "laws", too. WTF?!?"

  • "We found out later on that, constitutionally, you can't ban a certain type of music." No shit. She had to research to find that out? Also, she was willing to ban the practice knowing nothing about it? How do these people get elected?

  • fuck joe biden, fuck jerry brown, and fuck fiona ma!

  • Banning LED Gloves and Pacifiers are fucking bullshit!

    I know tons of drug addict who never even think about using led gloves! and pacifiers!

    those politician banned these because they want people to think that they are working! even though in reality they're just babbling nonsense!

  • Holy fuck the drop at 2:05 <3 :P

  • Been to 6 Raves when I turned 16. I'm 18 now and just got back from a convention where 2 raves were held. Never did drugs and had a hell of a time only ppl I saw were drunks -__- FUCK YOU! don't try to understand something you have NO BUSINESS in.

  • Really?!? Instead of trying to fix drug use, they get rid of the lights! I love the lights! What else makes rave music bearable?

  • How in the world are LED lights bad? They provide fun for people with the talent of using it and raves are cool

  • lol at 1:40 she prob thot "this is how all rave girls dress!"

  • So glad I don't live in America. The place is getting more and more like a police state. Can't wear gloves with lights in them? WTF? Imagine how much tax payer money was wasted to pass such a retarded law.

  • @Tantrum77 worse yet, that's only a drop in the retarded bucket.

  • Yes ... because it was the LED Gloves and Pacifiers that caused her to have OD levels of Ecstasy in her system. This law makes so much sense! Oh ... wait ... no, it's just the opposite ... it doesn't make ANY sense at all.

  • This government is going down in a revolution in the next 10 years, mark my words.

  • Politicians too often get their first introduction to the Constitution AFTER they've been elected to office. "We found out later on that, Constitutionally, you can not ban a type of music"

    If it wasn't for that pesky Constitution this world be a perfect place.  IDIOTS!!!!!

  • "We found out later that uh...  Constitutionally you can't ban a style of music.... uh..." Woah really? So how was Middle School today?

  • Maybe we should ban bad parenting.

  • Grow up! Kids shouldn't be anywhere near a public party/event. Wait till your 18, you're too much of a liability.

  • Ugh this pisses me off. Taking tradition and flushing it down the toilet.

  • This is what's REALLY important. You know, not that we should be talking about the war going on or the economy. This just pisses me off.

  • NO SHIT U CANT BAND MUSIC DUMB BITCH !!! WHAT THE FUCK DO U THINK U ARE PRESIDENT HAHA

  • a drug free america or a free america choose one only

  • what about the 500,000 people who died from alcohol last year ??? you cant walk around with stuffed animals lmao WERE legislating stuffed animals WOW

  • Another politician banning things based on their own fucked up personal opinions and not law!

  • Seriously? You can't wear LED gloves or pacifiers? That's what she's targeting? Gloves...and pacifiers..."If you wear LED gloves into one of these 'rave' things, we'll commit atrocious violence against you." That's the kind of law she wants? And the fucking passed it?

  • If a kid dies, expect a new law as a result.

  • I been a raver for 8 fukin years n now this stupid dumb ass tryin to stop the life joy where we can be free ....while tell u the truth it's not going to stop me frm me takin my gloves in n i alway take more then a boat of purple transformers quad stacks see u all at beyond 2012 plur life... So fuk the pigs...

  • this lady pisses me off. meh

    

  • A person's life is their own responsibility, it's not the governments place to "protect" everyone. This repression is sickening and our country is degenerating further and further into authoritarianism.

  • IF ONE DOG BITES YOU!!! ALL DOGS ARE BAD!

    duh makes perfect sense, you druggie RAVERES...

  • wops sying outt

  • Also I have personally gone to raves on drugs in the past, but choose not to most of the time. Sometimes a guy tosses ya a pill and youre like whatever this party is the shit glup. The downside is the next day when your still high as a kite but the party is over. When your living regular life on the drug it really fucks with your head. Better to not do them honestly

  • can we see assembly woman Fiona Ma in a ballerina dress with a teddy bear hoodie on ? You know politicians love raves and I bet she will be going regularly.

  • you can't ban a type of music because it's unconstitutional. DAMN! I so wanted to ban lame music.

  • WHAT A BITCH!!!!

  • Ew, she's not worthy of having a law named after her -__-

  • I hate that 15 year old that die.....

    She ruin the scene....

    I'm not trying to be a dick but her death ruined raves

  • @thebeaner626 ill be a dick, id kill her again for screwing us over. but it wasn't her fault, it was overly strict and protective parents who didn't give her any advice on using drugs safely.

  • This woman says Uhm and Uhh far too much to be credible. I rave, I love EDM, however I hate drugs and what it does to people. I glove for people who enjoy gloving for the art form I believe it is. I don't rave to help someone else make even more of an idiot out of themselves.

  • The people running the asylum are truly inane...erm, insane.

  • Fuck that bitch for trying to ban raves

  • can they focus on drug OD prevention rather than the actual rave scene ? honestly ..

  • " we found out that later on constitutionally you can't band a certain type of music." uh no shit. where the fuck did you go to school?

  • @TheJaralto House Music - Benny Benassi (Autoerotique's Explode the Club Remix)

  • @dirkisthe1 Thanks a ton.

  • Is she serious that they should ban light gloves and pacifiers? Come on now thats just going to make matters worese because people are just going to try and sneak them in their.

  • anyone know the track at 2:05? that shit is ballin.

  • We just need to ban people from having there own brain. The government should install a government device on our necks. Heads are too much trouble. Freedom independent thought is evil. War and slavery are freedom. Be good drink your fluoride and if you still feel bad take some prozac and please stop the whole thinking thing its insensitive and racist.

  • LED gloves and pacifiers =/= drugs. FAIL

  • Should we ban the internet because of child pornography? Should we ban mcdonalds because of obesity?

  • "many types of drugs in her system" > Nope just one type

    "i ddnt really know what was going on" > Your fault

    "all the things associated traditionally in the past" > Such as? pacifiers/gloves/etc only follow what's already going to happen in the first place.

    Ma's reaction to ban electronic music only shows to me her naivete and lack of understanding of a world that exists beyond hers. Banning a type of music is unconstitutional? NO SHIT.

  • Whatever happened to freedom of expression?

  • girl at the end would say that! she is a fucking druggie herself

  • Stop trying to control people's lives. If you don't like something ....don't go or do it.

  • This woman is a closed minded bitch who cares only for corporate America...

    Fuck her and then toss her out a window of a VERY high building!

  • Tell fiona ma that going to 1 rave does not make her an expert. Tell her that if corporate money donated to politicians = free speech then led gloves = free speech too. Tell her that people wear crazy clothes and leds to rock concerts too, and that people have been doing enormous amounts of drugs at them for decades and occasionally there's an overdose. We don't tell headbangers that they cant have long hair at a metal show because headbanging causes a somewhat trance-like high.

  • Whats up with this chicks mouth?

  • yeah the clothes are what make the kids OD

  • Uninformed and ignorant people should not pass laws.

  • oh no without raves where will we all gather to listen to shitty music together at

  • we found out later on we cant ban a type of music? And this woman is a congresswoman? she was surprised to see 10,000 people dancing to music? wow...

  • Is this a joke?

  • people still do ecstacy!?!?

  • @branasaur troll

  • dumb bitch

    i'm still gonna glove whether i'm sober or not fuckers

  • This is the first time in a long while I've been legitimately angry at someone.

  • Last i check clothing items didn't cause drug use. Drugs being SUPER FUN causes drug use. Maybe she should try to ban that. She's dumb enough to try.

  • @Taalliesiin Well she probably would if ecstasy wasn't already outlawed

  • To the warehouse!

    

  • Raving is not a crime! PLUR!!!

  • GOD FORBID I BRING A CARE BEAR TO MY SETS. OH SHIT NOW I WANT TO EAT PILLS NOMN OMN OMNOMNONMONMONM

  • Ban them all u want, still bringing my fluffs and binky

  • What a strange and oppressive country America has become...

  • @discobedient This happened in Californiastan, not America.

  • wow... its so stupid to ban lights, furries, and pacifiers. they don't always premote drugs?

  • Not every rave has drugs and not every raver uses. We cant take a hit cause a 15 yo dies with e in her system. Four loko got banned cause collage kids cant hold their liquor..

  • @donovanblaze im gonna go out on a limb and say EVERY rave has drugs. BUt i agree not every raver uses them.

  • lol I bet it was like "OMG I'm ROLLIN SO HARD" "hey, hey, we're conducting an interview, you can't stand there"

  • But seriously Americans are fucking copying the European scene...like EDC is pretty much Mysteryland or The Qontinent but with shitty ass House, Electro, and Dubstep -_-

  • Headline: America discover rave 20 years after the rest of the planet. Try waving a glow stick in a UK club and you'll get spat on.

  • @Kryykk Cool, we'll just enjoy raves our way then. Thanks.

  • @CatNasty Precisely.

  • @Kryykk I'll attest to the fact your raves are different. But thats about it. I enjoy the events here just as much, if not more, than the ones I've been to in other countries. To each their own, don't be so bitter lol ;)

  • @Kryykk psst. I was raving like 14 years ago when I was a teen in SF and raving wasn't new then. Raves have been around for awhile in the us man. I'm actually surprised at how little the scene has seemed to change since I was doing it.

  • WHAT THE FUCK!!! 4:25 you can't walk around with stuffed animals?!? What's next? They're gonna find some way to "constitutionally" ban EDM

  • you can't walk around with stuffed animals haha wtf

  • chills @ 2:09 track plz.

  • Comment removed

  • stupid!!! ... if ppl decide to do drugs thats on them

  • Woe! Banning LED Gloves?

    Not cool! Gloving is an art form! YOu can't ban an Art form, at least not without getting beat!

  • Thank god somebody decided to ban the pacifiers. It's ridiculous that she tried to ban EDM but was in the right direction with the pacifiers. Gloves I'm a fence sitter on because they detract from dancing and make the drugged out kids look even more drugged out, but they in itself can be an art form.

    Seriously, if you're in an outrage over the banning of pacifiers, you need to reevaluate yourself. Do you think intoxicated kids look good sucking/chewing on something intended for infants? NO.

  • Comment removed

  • 'The Man' use to be okay with LED Gloves and Pacifiers, but then he took an arrow in the knee.

  • we need to work to get this Fiona Ma out of office!! Who does she think she is trying to ban edm? She is also miss informed that led lights and pacifiers do not make people want to do ecstacy, what a moron! This women is obviously not fit for this job! If I was in california I would be all over this.

  • This year, a stage collapsed at a Sugar Land concert killing 5 people.why doesn't this tyrant politician outlaw tight jeans, straw hats, belt buckles, and twangy guitars??? People die doing just about everything. If it happens at a festival, Stop the presses this could get me re-elected! you want to save young people's lives??? Then outlaw WAR.

  • LOL the reporters dont no waht there talking about. RAVE TILL I DIE

  • I don't understand how taking away a form of art makes it safer? She's a dumbass.

  • Why is this false report still being perpetrated by Reason. This story is totally bogus spin.

  • worry bout yourself

  • Just please ban the lights and the pacifiers... Cmon guys definitely not a good look...

  • @tharshizzle who are you trying to impress? It's no one elses business how you want to express yourself. Welcome to America and the first amendment.

  • if they pass this shit it sets precedent for some really terrible things

  • I love Lee, he's such an awesome guy!

  • "You can't walk around with stuffed animals"

    ...

  • she needs a cock up her arse

  • Banning gloves is complete bullshit. the point of a rave is that its a PARTICIPATORY event, NOT a concert. Shit, up untill a few years ago it was even LESS about the DJ and more about the EXPERIENCE, the PEOPLE and the VIBE!

  • A 15 year old should NOT have been allowed into the venue. Kids that young can't make rational decisions regarding drug use, and further, dosage.

  • @civicguy2k What i was getting at is that punishing all of those who go every year and not die because of one girl's bad decisions seems unfair. Just don't let them in below 18, at least.

  • @civicguy2k How about you blame this kid's crappy parenting skills? "Sure honey, you can go to this HUGE event unattended. And you could snort coke right in front of me, but I will still deny your drug use". News flash: there are drugs at ANY big event, not just raves. Are we going to ban bars? Casinos? No, of course not. Politicians love those things.

  • @civicguy2k I'm 35 now but I went to my first rave at 15. 15 year-olds should be allowed to rave alongside anyone else of any age. If the drugs concern you, then do the right thing and kick the drug dealers and heavy users out of your raves.

  • CUNT.

  • Vote the one that wants to do unconstitutional things out.

  • No colorful gloves. FUCK THAT,

  • FUCK THAT BITCH!! This made me MAD. Ignorance should be a crime and ploticians have no buisness sticking thier nose's in the scene.

  • who is she to change a culture have her go back to china stupid gook

  • Who can find me this bitch's email?.. Stuffed animals and led lights, are banned to make it more like a concert to enjoy ourselves.. this bitch making it harder to enjoy it -___-...

  • Don't blame the person giving the lightshow, blame the person getting the lightshow.

  • What does LED Pacifers and Gloves have to do with drugs?

  • oh and was that a photoshopped picture of fiona ma in a rave attire lol

  • 5:28 man that girl. nice tits!!!!

  • Maybe if they didn't charge $5 for a 16oz water bottle, kids wouldn't be over dosing.

  • I think it would be easier to list what IS legal in Kalifornia.

  • Asian lady doesn't know how to do her eyeliner xD

  • FUCKING IDIOT SOCIALISTS!!!

  • Instead of banning raves, why don't they just make ecstasy illegal? Oh wait...

  • she has nothing to do with her time... she is so ingorant. and a hypocrite

  • And where's our freedom of expression?

  • Another great way to push tax revenue out of Calfornia. Fucking stupid ass politicians.

  • Comment removed

  • tssssstttt some sites avoide kids from taking e... YEAH RIGHT... not when i was going to parties lol... ok im going to stop now lol

  • house music" hell YEAH

  • damn insomiac blew the fuck up for real tho... lucky little bastards

  • wait what? they banned what? lol

  • I really think this ban should be taken off since all events are now 18+ with a mature crowd. I think we all have the right to take whatever we want into a concert and have a good time thats the what its about. That's like telling a crowd of punk rockers they cant wear steel toe boots and chains because of past culture. Saying no LED lights is taking away part of the scene... fuck YOU government! don't tell me how to live my life

  • There hasn't been any cases that Ecstasy was the main cause of death What happen to Sasha was she got water intoxication and what happen was she drank too much water in a short amount of time causing her blood to get diluted and from there it goes to your brain causing your brain to swell & go into a coma The increased pressure&swelling on your brain causes the death. 15 yr olds should not be taking ecstasy & going to any raves because there not mature enough& dont know what there getting into!

  • 04:53 i came a little

  • ''When you throw in some colourful kids at a rave its fresh''' Is Amercia really only getting its moralistic backlash against rave music now? We had that in the UK the early 1990s. US legislatiors should know however that it is impossible to stop such event, all you need is a big open space such as a barn,field or warehouse & moble soundsystem. Ilegal raves were being organised regularly before the internet imagine how easy it is now.

  • Never trust a law that is named after a victim.

  • by Shascha Ma's logic the Rolling Stones should be banned as well as the Hell's Angels for the murder in Altemont concert where the HA's shot a dood while they were security for the show. What a stupid bitch. No led gloves, no binkys? Those are protected as freedom of speech as well, my way to self expression,she should go fuck herself! Fuckin Nazi!

  • lol raves are for FAAGGGGSSSS

  • One bitch dies and it's a big deal. whateverrrr

  • "We found out that constitutionally you can't ban a certain type of music."

    Really now?

  • @TheFlasherProduction - haha, this lady would try to ban reggae music because it has been linked to cannabis.

  • "Autopsy later found ecstacy in her system." she was under the influence of an illegal and controlled substance and died from it, that happens every fucking day, its her fault and nobody else's but hers.

    you dont ban shoes if somebody gets kicked in the head in a mosh pit, its part of going to the concert/festival/show so deal with it. LET US BE OURSELVES AND HAVE OUR FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ban pacifiers and LED gloves...that will totally keep people from doing drugs. Great thinking! She should be nominated for Reason's Nanny of the Month.

  • insomniac should not of let this bitch inn

  • IF YOU DONT LIKE RAVES THEM THEN DONT GO YOU LIBERAL FUCKS.......STOP FUCKING WITH EVERYONE ELSE. k thx

  • anytime someones having FUN there is always someone ready to STEAL your RIGHTS away...............ILLMERICA

  • fuck ma.

  • Everytime the govt tries to protect us with laws, 99% of the time they muck it up worse. The parents of that 15-year-old need to keep better tabs on their children. Too little, too late. Who is your mom? Not the govt. Raves are silly, usually attended by morons who have no future. When I see something I don't like on TV, I change the channel.

  • @UTubekookdetector you my friend are an IDIOT

  • CHASE: You my friend are angry and an authoritarian. The state is not responsible for the children, the parents are. Your way-of-thinking will bring about authoritarianism. You'll sell your freedom for a few shekels today but eventually the rug will be pulled out from under you. Hopefully, you don't vote.

  • FUCK FIONA MA!!!

  • u cant band led gloves:O

    hah shes a bitch-___-

  • keep raves out of California!! 

  • FIRST FUCKING AMENDMENT

  • Banning pacifiers and glowing gloves? That's one of the most absurd laws I've ever heard of.

  • if you interview enough politicians, one of them will eventually - completely un-self-consciously, like monkeys at typewriters - accidentally reach a plane of improvised self-parody that mere mortals can only dream of. and she's also a raver milf so thats a plus

  • "turns out you cannot ban a type of music"

    why would she even try that, it goes against pretty much everything the constituion of stands for

  • If they ban this, they should ban all public events. People die all the time, in all types of events due to drug overdoses....

  • What's the name of the song at the beginning??

    And whats the song on 0:35??

  • @Kaathar I don't know the first song which I want to find out so bad. But the one at 0:35 is Japanese Popstars - Song for Lisa (Benny Benassi remix)

  • @Degrader951 Thanks!=)

  • Nice job of taking a dump on the constitution. They tried to ban Elvis and now it's raves. These politicians never seem to understand the laws they try to implement. We don't need baby sitters you twit.

  • You can not combat drug use by banning the things you think make them use them! They don't do E to look at lights! It is a secondary thrill to the feeling of acceptance and love and pleasure. Pacifiers simply keep their teeth safe! Lights keep them occupied when not dancing! Teach kids how to use drugs safely and the dangers of using them. People will use drugs no matter what, it's their choice! If you teach about interactions, it will save more lives than to ban products that fund jobs+$+taxes

  • A "Dangerous drug" now used to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma...It is funny how when it is a recreational drug it is so dangerous, yet when it is making a pharmaceutical company money its a miracle..Again..It is still 1 of top meds used in couples therapy. There has never been a confirmed case of death from ecstasy alone. It is the interaction with other drugs that creates issues . That and repetitive use. Before you go psycho on me, I am not condoning use of Ecstasy. Knowledge keeps kids safe....

  • Sorry, but if people are dumb enough to take a dangerous drug of their own volition, it's their fault.

  • Glad to see it move to Las Vegas!

  • "DAMN KIDS AND THEIR ROCK AND ROLL! ITS THE DEVILS MUSIC!"

  • PEACE

    LOVE

    UNITY

    RESPECT

  • Dear Reason TV, communities have a right to disallow certain behavior they find objectionable. Get over it.

  • @lordtiberius People have rights, communities aren't allowed to ban anything they want.
