Wow. Why is this news? There's idiots at every concert, why aren't they talking about the THOUSANDS that were at concerts around the country that DIDN'T get picked up for drugs, rape, or any other stupid stuff?? Anywhere there's large groups of people, there's going to be people doing something illegal. Anybody remember Freaknik in Atlanta??

How do you get arrested for resisting arrest? Wouldn't you have to be arrested for something else first? At any rate, I'm surprised only two got arrested for disorderly conduct. I saw two fights just in my area. One guy's eyebrow was split open pretty bad and he didn't even go to the first aid station lol. His friends let him pass out on the ground while the Deftones and Korn did their sets. Some friends :-P

Korn has a way of making people crazy. haha. Jeez, maybe it is the HEAT, and having to sit through 10 other bands before they come on stage -- it's like Chinese water torture. I went to Tool last night, and I have never smelled more weed at a show.....

Methadone! That another thing...They use Methadone as a legal alternative to Heroin...LEGAL! And Methadone is no f***ing better, but the only thing different is that Methadone makes money for the government, rather than the dealer on the street. And 'Methadonians' (as they're called), are hooked, and they get just as f***ed up, and it isn't any better than Heroin, but the government doesn't care, because they're letting Methdone addicts get their fix from clinics...And the government also keeps child sex slave trades going on the down low, ever wonder what happened to the very first boy whose face was on milk cartons? Now, remember that guy that snuck into the newsroom ov the president, the one that did gay porn? The two subjects are linked...Google that sh** guys

Now i'm not much on Korn. But i find it kind of funny about the weed thing... it's only illegal because the government can't find a way to regulate it, so they can't put money in their pockets selling it... and noones going to stand up and point that out because the parents of America and all the big dogs have strong christain views on these matters. I mean people think alcohol is the devils water... yet it's not isolating it's children and making them go to church so they are more concern with all this afterlife bullsh** then they are with how they are living now and what's going on around them... it's kind of like a brainwash... they blind you so you dont see what's really going on behind the scenes...

But heres what goes on behind the scenes---

A war that isn't justified, while the people we should've come for have the nukes

Child Sex Slaves for the rich sick f***s

and LEGAL drugs to keep the addicts putting money in their pockets behind the scenes

In truth thier are so many thing's wrong in this country it's not funny at all.You would think that in this country where we are supposed to be so inlightend alot of thing's would not be taboo, that would not be the case.But we have people starveing and homeless in mainland America and a government that as far as I can tell does not seem to care.Katrina should have proved that to everybody.(Don't believe me watch Spike Lee's documentary)

Look thier are so many thing's in this country that are illegal but should not be.The top 2 on my list Weed & Prostitution.The money that is made illegally from these thing's is money that can be taxed.If they did this not only could they take a big bite out of crime, they could stop sticking it to the little guy.Since they keep giveing huge tax break's to people who should not get them.
