On local news:
This just in. Last night the local legend Babylon was raided by police after a call from security at a neighboring business called in about the noise. Apparently the serial trespassers have been getting sloppy. The police department claims that undercover police officers discovered evidence of drug trafficking, prostitution, and racketeering in addition to violation of state liquor laws and a variety of city ordinances, not to mention trespassing.
Several witnesses claim that the Police made an unlawful search, that the club was there with the owner of the property's permission (who they claim is an avid raver himself), and that the excessive force used by the police during the raid against largely unarmed civilians breached their civil rights. Here's what one witness had to say,
Witness: "Hey man! This is Bulls***! We're here legit! They got no cause to come bustin' in with flash bangs and s***! Let the rave on, man! We're here with permission man!"
Reporter: "How do you address the legitimacy of the unlicensed bar that Babylon regularly operates?"
Witness: "Uhhh... RAVE ON!!!"
There you have it folks, that's the local news, turn in again at five where we will talk with experts about the current group who have announced their candidacy for the presidential election and how each might affect local matters.
