Cops Reel In Phish Fans - March 11, 2009
Mug shot sampler of jam band devotees nabbed in Virginia drug sweep
MARCH 11--The return of Phish to the concert stage has been a welcome development for both fans of the jam band and police. During a series of concerts last weekend in Hampton, Virginia, authorities arrested nearly 200 Phish fans, most for possession or distribution of narcotics (cops reported seizing $68,000 and illegal drugs with a purported street value of--exactly!--$1,213,882.80). On the following pages you'll find a mug shot sampler of the Phish fans nabbed during the March 6-8 "multi-jurisdictional operation" overseen by the Hampton Police Division. (25 pages)

Why is this news? Are people really that "shocked?" The news here is that society seems to be more outraged by people possessing chemicals at a concert and venue that totally supports non-violence. Jesus don't we have better things to monitor than what amounts to a bunch of hippies whom mean zero harm? But then again, nothing has changed and it doesn't look like it will anytime soon so I guess speaking up is pointless, makes me want to give up....I guess I should but I won't.

Are we still in a recession? It seems like Phish fans have some spare pocket change.

I'd be morbidly curious to see the breakdown of what drugs and how much of each.
