To 121qaz2wsx,
I think People like you should leave America and live in a European country some 70 Year or so ago. Adolf Hitler would be proud of a Nazi minded mofo like you .. got it ?

This logic (or lack of it) is exactly why your group got shot with Pepperballs.
If you mission in life is to protect a meth dealer in kiddie village, you might as well slit your wrists now and save us all the pain of being in your presence.
All Americans ... ( 2 months ago by zholyrebel)
All Americans including Rainbows have the right to peacefully assemble, share food and goods with each other, and teach about natural healing through healthy eating, yoga, taking care of the earth, etc. Police keep making any peaceful assembly look like a potential 1989 Tiananmen Square. Our freedoms are vanishing and we all have to speak out NOW.

I agree 100% with our rights. However, attacking police who are arresting a drug dealer in kiddie village is not your right-so don't blame the Officers for being pepperballed.
By the way, what about the rights of the Boy Scouts-which you thumbed your nose at and forced them to relocate-even though they spent years planning their event while you sat around a circle smoking pot the day before and moved in. Those poor kids wanting to make a difference?
The rainbows definately messed up this year.
Total non-violence ... ( 2 months ago by NCEFMedia)
Total non-violence is crucial for de-escalation. As soon as the aggression is returned, things start spiraling out of control. A Rainbow Gathering is not the place for aggressive resistance to police state behaviour, so maintain the higher ground by exercising total non-violence.

Wow....someone who makes sense. God Bless and teach the rainbows some common sense. If they followed your advice we wouldn't be watching these videos.
So what's your thoughts on the cops arresting a drug dealer in kiddie village??
I feel that meth is ... ( 2 months ago by NCEFMedia)
I feel that meth is a horrible poison, and, if the person was in fact dealing meth at the gathering, I have little sympathy for him. I don't know the details about why they chose to arrest someone at this particular time, so it's hard for me to say. It could have been an attempt to provoke the crowd, or there could have been a legitimate reason to get someone out of there, it's hard for me to say. I don't agree with the "War on Drugs," yet I don't agree with meth, either. Need more info.
I agree with you on ... ( 2 months ago by 121qaz2wsx)
I agree with you on Meth.
I can't imagine the police wanted to provoke a crowd. I seriously doubt the police wanted to be surrounded by an angry mob in the 100s. The rainbows have used the circle tactic many times to prevent an arrest. However, this tactic is starting to escalate against cops, as illustrated in the video. The anarchist movement within a small portion of the rainbows is escalating matters. I fear that in the future someone is going to get shot. The rainbows should address this.
NCEF, that is ... ( 2 months ago by gdfsob)
NCEF, that is EXACTLY what they want you to do - meekly submit to their actions.
If they are doing something wrong, submitting to it only encourages them to continue - and get WORSE.
I know it's a sad thing to say, but all too often, when bullies aren't "gut checked", they keep doing it.
There's such a ... ( 2 months ago by NCEFMedia)
There's such a thing as non-violent resistance, and if people want to go to jail defending a meth dealer (if this was the case, and so far this seems undisputed), then that's their choice. Reacting violently only perpetuates the cycles of violence, and gives violent police officers an excuse to get their adrenaline rush by beating up some Rainbows. You're not going to "check" the police with a bunch of rocks, you're only going to create a pretext for police violence.

Some police act like they have a License to Kill... and they are going to do it over people smoking a peace pipe of marijuana.

i live in the closest town(pinedale) where the gathering was held and the cops act irrationally and stupidly on a daily basis. These jack ass cops are so afraid of their own shadows that they have to pull guns on kids. they even run the kids over in cop cars.

Just to clear some things up:
These weren't regular cops, these were members of the Forest Service's rogue agency known as the Incident Management Team. These were the guys that gave us hell eventually leading to this. We had no problem with the regular forest service agents, but the IMT just kept trying to draw out anger from us.

I am a police officer. After watching this all I can say is how different it could have gone.
I aressted a paraplegic man one night. He almost died after driking a case of Nyquil.
I stayed with him and prayed with him through most of the night.
There are some good ones out there.
Peace

You rainbow people are a push over just like the rest. they could have killed half of you and the rest would still do nothing. You are sheep to the slaughter of the wolves.

I'm not one to fully understand the situation, but shooting any weapon; leathal or not, around kids is terrible. WHAT WAS THE DANGER?? Why did they have to attack in the Kid village? I feel if anything a statement from the "LEOs" should be given. And the main officer to start the incident should have his job considered.
