Armed Soldiers break up Legal Outdoor Rave in Utah

Written by TParker

Shocked. Just shocked. Is it now illegal to DANCE in America? I just picked up on a thread over at Vox Day's blog about a Rave Dance party in Utah that was busted up by SWAT teams, police and ARMED-freaking SOLDIERS!! There is also a short video of the very begining of the assault that you can download Here. And some more video Here. The promoters claim they had obtained the proper licenses, hired security guards as required and secured portable toilets at the outdoor location for attendees. Regardless, at around 11:30 a helicopter starting circling, semi trucks filled with National Guard Soldiers, SWAT teams and Police Officers jumped out and rushed into the crowd. They were reportedly armed with M-16s, Ak-47s, nightsticks, tear-gas, and tazers. The U.S. Constitution FORBIDS any branch of the U.S. Military (including the National Guard) from being used on U.S. soil in a law enforcement capacity. This is truly OUTRAGEOUS! Oh, but wait... it's just a bunch of doped-up ravers, right? *Bastards!* Click here to read an eyewitness account. Click here to read an update of the situation as of 8/24/05. Especially Read This One written by Matt Welch over at Reason Online.

Wavelength

The distance between two identical points on a waveform i.e. one cycle of the waveform, or the spatial distance between two identical points of an electromagnetic or sound pressure wave which have the same phase. In high frequency waves, there are more cycles in a given unit of time than there are in low frequency waves, this means they are closer together and consequently the wavelength of a high frequency is shorter than that of a low frequency. The wavelength of an given frequency can be determined by dividing the speed of propagation of the wave by its frequency. For electromagnetic waves this is c/f, where c is the velocity of light and f is frequency, this gives a result in metres. For sound pressure waves it is approximately 334 m/s divided by the frequency in Hz, so that audio frequencies have wavelengths in the range from 16 metres to 1.6 centimetres.
