What you fail to mention was that everyone who was issued tickets were completely innocent of any crimes except for being at what they thought was a completely legal concert (and as far as I know, it was!) How do you justify giving tickets to hundreds of innocent people simply because of the arrest of a few individuals? If someone got arrested at a bar for possession of drugs, would everyone else at that bar get arrested? No, they wouldn't. The fact is that this was a completely legal concert, and the people there were treated unfairly. I heard from numerous people that when they asked why they were being held prisoner they were threatened with mace, and one person who said "No" when he was told to lay down was subdued by police officers. I'm sorry, but if I didn't do anything wrong and someone told me to lay on the ground while we were being "processed", I'd probably say "No" too. Judd Lauger DeKalb, Ill. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
