Phish pay police to bust their fans

you know thinkin about this,,this is wrong on so many levels.

phish KNOWS what is in their crowd,they KNOW whats gonna be taking place in the crowd.

i fail to see how they could justify hiring 200 cops .. so they could have a concert for their fans?? that makes no sense..

for the money?? then they fucking sold out..

no if they couldnt pull it off with private security they should have picked a different venue or just not had it at all..

i mean really,what the hell were they thinking?

 

how utterly SHOCKING that a band comes out of retirement should SELL OUT! my god, what is this world coming to?

 

touche....

 

I don't think they'll ever do another sell-out gig now.

 

I wouldn't put it past them

I absolutely despise Phish

 

I just YT'ed them, and one song sounded alright. The other one wasn't so good. The lead singer looks like a wanker, but I don't know if my opinion has been clouded by recent events.

 

yes..but..in toronto it is also common for the band to instruct the police to leave people alone and only remove people if they are violent or o'd'ing etc...i have smoked large amounts of drugs within arms reach of cops at countless concerts...i will not be attending the phish show..reunions can be very disappointing as often as not..... anyway not a fan of theirs

 

That their fans are all stupid stoner losers?

 

Most of the arrests were for drug possession, use and distribution, police said.
Tourism officials had estimated 75,000 fans would be coming to the coastal Virginia city. Nearly 200 law enforcement officers worked the weekend event, with the Vermont-based band picking up the tab.


picking up the tab sounds like paying for it

that's from the ap story you linked.

 

Now I got nothing to say, but Im making this post anyways

 

Phish sucks.

 

If you enjoy Phish you have terrible taste

wanky jokey music for Dbags

 

This didn't take place "in" the concert for the most part. The majority of the arrests happened in the parking lot, in the town, and by cops pulling over fans on the way to the concert.

1.2 million in drugs from 194 people... sounds like dealers to me. Dealers pollute the scene. I feel sorry for all of the fans arrested, especially the ones arrested for simple possession.

 

I don't know what a wanky jokey is, but if phish's music is for Dbags then it is tailor made for me.

sounds like it might be made for you too..

 

I don't give a fuck if I am stupid, you like Phish and that is absolutely pathetic

 

Well its not because I hate it

this forum has always been built on a pile of dippy bullshit music

 

I never said I liked Phish. Just get tickled how you people think your opinions are gospel.

 

Why even come online if not to state your opinion?

its not like it matters

also, the term "you people" is not polite
