What happened to nina1288? All of her posts have been removed.

[WPack55]

Once she was evicted she was brought to processing...I was on my break and watched the whole thing unfold. I run the floor and front of stage at The Gorge, just thought I would include the other side of the story. She was also put in restraints because she was next to impossible to get in the sheriffs car. Although your video doesn't tell the whole story, It does show one of our female employees handling a guest the wrong way. Putting an inebriated guest in a headlock...NOT GOOD FOR OUR IMAGE.

@WPack55 . Thanks for your POV. Agreed, my video does not tell the whole story. I of course didn't see all of the incident, but what I saw was very troubling. Am I correct in assuming what you saw happen was later than what I saw? Prior to being grabbed, tackled and choked, this girl was just dancing around to the righteous sounds of Sarah Jones and the DAP Kings on the pathway between the terraces and the upper lawn.

This chick told sheriffs she was Sarah Palin and spit on a cop. She got shot with a taser and arrested... Shes a real winner.

@WPack55. BS. I was about 10 feet away from her and didn't see any of this

to let me know what happened. You actually gave me your card and asked me to forward you the email. I apologize for never responding but I never actually got anything from them which was really disappointing, they'd asked if I'd wanted to talk to police but not being from the states i didn't really want to get too involved and just left a written statement and my contact information but never heard anything. Glad to see the video is getting noticed.

It's been awhile since anybody commented, I remember talking to you, I was sitting directly in front of you and was very upset by this. Me and my friend went and reported it to security and talked to them for a long time, after being told basically to f off by the head security person of that side I went to the ticket master booth and told them what happened and talked to the head of security who told me basically that she'd caused problems earlier and it was poorly handled and he'd email me

@BCo313 Most def. I was there and has one of those ladies in the video (i recognize her) said to me "im the badass that takes away your beer" at a food stand when I Was minding my own, completely sober.

Just saw this thread now...interesting since I had what i think is a similar experience. I was taken down by security by the vista beer garden at the top of the hill above the main stage on Sunday night of the festival around 6:45 pm. I believe i was unconscious for a time after being taken down by security while handcuffed and hitting my face on the pavement. If anyone witnessed this please post. I have been charged with "simple assault", and without any witnesses it is my word against security

[BCo313]

anyway, my point is that while many of these security guards and laid-back and totally reasonable, some of them are straight-up power trippers and are terrible at their jobs.

[BCo313]

yeah, this is fairly unrelated, but last year at sasquatch, i had a female "beverage enforcement" officer approach me simply because i was lying down on the grass on the hill (as were about 10,000) other people. she immediately made me stand up, interrogated me about how many drinks i had consumed (2 beers, and i'm well over 21), accused me of lying to her, and then threatened to arrest me. only upon my coherent explaining to her that i was lawyer did she back off.

@tripcalifornia Some people are in the dark about a few authority figures who abuse power. They've had a more pleasant life experience than I have. I had a friend who was tackled and punched out at Bumbershoot last year. The other nearby security guards were yelling stop! stop! at him (the tackling security guard) but it was my friend who spent the night in jail. If you fit the "profile", you are a target.

@evanisovich - Your comment states your interest to hearing witness accounts so I wanted to bring some of the recent comments here to your attention. No one is trying to plead her case online here, we're just grateful that a bystander was smart enough to turn his camera to what was going on so that something can be done about this. Without video evidence it will ALWAYS be a case of he said she said, with security's account rarely being challenged. People need to be aware that this CAN happen.

[tripcalifornia]

@TheLilluh she never even got her shoes until we bailed her out of jail in Epheria, 750 bucks later, her only charges being disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice. The guy shown trying to get her shoes to her is our friend who they kept pushing away refusing to give any information to. Security actually REFUSED to take her shoes from our friend. Many people seem convinced it's impossible for any security to ever be out of line

[maggiesbca]

@johnjgahagan - her comments clearly showed she was one of the security guards shown in this video and she probably finally figured out that her words would be held against her in the lawsuit
