The Rainbow Family is a group of hippie types and eccentrics who organize a weeklong national gathering on public land, each year. About 7,000 members were camping this year on Forest Service, near Big Sandy.CHEYENNE, Wyoming
The American Civil Liberties Union plans to investigate how federal law enforcement officers treated members of the Rainbow Family during their annual gathering this year in western Wyoming. {source}http://www.localnews8.com/Global/story.asp?S=8623449&nav=menu554_2_2
The federal Forest Service said a mob of about 400 members of the Rainbow Family... threw rocks and sticks at Forest Service officers who tried to arrest a member of the group. The agency would not give a reason for the original arrest.
About 60 federal and local officers responded, Forest Service officials said, and fired pepper balls — pellets that disperse a pepper solution — at the crowd.

More than 100 participants in the annual Rainbow Family of Living Light "Gathering of the Tribes" near Big Sandy made appearances at a temporary federal court at the fire station here this week.Chief U.S. District Judge William Downes signed the unusual order to create the temporary courtroom because the closest federal courtrooms to the gathering are in Green River, Lander and Jackson, he said Thursday.The court will remain as long as Rainbow gathering participants are in the area.
About 40 participants appeared in court Wednesday, and an unknown number appeared Thursday, according to the clerk of federal court in Casper. One defendant on Wednesday apparently got out of hand and was zapped with a Taser.
U.S. marshals brought out a case of bottled water for the defendants lined up at the tent where security personnel conducted searches.
There, too, Rainbows made nice with the government.
One Rainbow asked a marshal how he kept a straight face.
"I'm smiling on the inside," he responded. {source}http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/07/04/news/wyoming/45-rainbow.txt The Rainbow Family is a group of hippie types and eccentrics who organize a... more
