Rainbow Family of Living Light Attacked

by Wes Unruh

Victim Account 6 minute MP3 - Download

Fortunately there was a radio show with a contact on a cellphone who were able to cover the event as it happened.  Look for the July 3rd episode, with the above victim account taken from a few minutes in during the second hour: Hour 1, Hour 2

My initial coverage: Police Fire Pepper Spray Into Crowd In Attempt To Start Riot

Here's a short video clip of the gathering before the event happened:

 

I find the way the RFLL is covered in the various news articles fascinating:

Before Attack - News Coverage: 'Om'-ing in Wyoming

Rainbow gathering inspires odd jurisprudence

Current News Reports:

400 members of Rainbow Family surround, attack federal officers
Forest Service officials stoned by hippie group allowed to displace Boy Scouts' service project

ACLU plans to investigate Rainbow Family treatment
