OK fair enough there are people selling drugs where raves happen; but in years of raving since 1991 including often ropey parts of London; I have never heard of a pistol being brought to an outdoor rave (apart from UKG ones but I don’t go to those!)
I am afraid I have, the police found some fire arms and many other weapons when they searched dozens of vehicles and a meeting point in oxford(pear tree) back in 92 93 which was reported in the newspaper and was not some robbed at a squat party(in the venue) in London at gun point last year or the prievious, the police take this in there stride its some thing they cant get away from, I am not going to list the others but you get the point,
but you cant escape the fact that violence and the use of weapons is less frequent at a free party than most other similar activities.
we know that and the police know that.
I would walk on my own though a party in the wilds, in the dark knowing there is no law near with less fear than if I walked though a town on a Saturday night even if there was an open police presence.
the world is and never was a safe place and unless there is a fundamental change in the equality of its citizens it never will be.
I am not condoning the carrying of weapons but it doesn’t surprise me in one bit.
NEVER THINK ANYWHERE IS SAFE. beware, take care, be aware and as I always told my kids, always check your exits.
