Problems with the community fire

[Tanyor]

I do not engage in lewd or debaucherous behavior with a woman if she's under the age of 18 (and I have asked for proof of age before). I do not pressure someone into doing something they don't want to. It's my standards that I live by.[\quote]

LOL I got a mental picture of you Saying you need to be over 18 to ride this ride. Now cough up a Id!

Count me in!

[Tanyor]

I'm normally a good judge of character.  I'm sure once I meet you I can rest my case. HAHA


Anyways after being on the forums for 2 years in the back burner, I can't wait to meet the lot of you on All Hallows Eve.

Really, the swing was put in there as a "what if". I've seen the swing occupied many a time and it has only ever been mildly debaucherous. It was used in an example to make a point about levels of the same thing, and their difference.

I just don't think that 2-3 cops extra will be able to convey an acceptable level of "preventetive" security personally. Currently, things have to happen before the cops get to it. Not saying that they don't do their jobs, but crimes don't happen around cops normally... they happen away from them. And with their presence being so small.... that's a whoooole lot of room for crime to decide to happen.

At Pennsic (mind you that was a 25k year) they simply had mounted police ALWAYS cantering around all of the roads. They'd wave and be friendly and talk and stop in at groups sometimes sure, but it was never their gun, or their ability to arrest that we needed... their presence is a deterent. And 3 cops extra standing around the bonfire, or even scattered out to specific areas... will just scatter the cockroaches far and wide to new hidey holes.... ya don't put a raid trap down in only a few corners of the house if you have a roach problem... you put them down everywhere until the roaches are gone, and then you practice better habits that keep them from coming back into your house...

We would need a lot more security than 2-3, because while 30 of you may have the numbers to the police... how many different places are all 30 of you on any given night? How many of you will be up in the woods about 1000 ft away from the rogues where all the normal campers are? How many of you will be in the area just past the bonfire where all of the campers are? And will your phone call be on time when it really matters, or will it just give EMS a good shot at saving a life? The same goes for those of you who are rennie firefightewrs and crimestoppers... how many different places are you in a night? I'd never expect you to patrol either... so yes, theres need to be mroe of a presence, BUT, back to my raid/cockroach anaology.... our problem with more raid everywhere... we have pets (definitely no insult here, but consider pets the people that "could" get in trouble with the authorities) and those pets can get ahold of raid just as easily as a cockroach.

Now, still going with this analogy. The shooters for strippers bus or whatever it's called... is kinda like a big chunk of leftover food on the floor for the cockroaches, whereas naked slipinslide is the equivilant of leaving barbecue on the grill... it's watched, it's controlled and monitored so it doesn't burn or get eaten by anything. The shooters bus... nobody checks their id's... nobody says "this girl is too drunk"... and that is where the cockroaches will go, because they can get away with being there.... I think thats what alot of people look at when they see the bus.

And, random question, shouldn't the shooter bus be illegal because it's paying women to take their clothes off? I was under the idea all forms of solicitation on TRF that were not cleared BY TRF were not allowed, thus illegal for all intents and purposes ya?

And I'm all for the rum but not so much the slipnslide... I always find the dry spot... eowch

[Tanyor]

Bartering for boobies isn't considered solicitation I suppose.

Just like beads for Marti Gras.

Thats why we are called Safe Haven, should you need something, we are there and if we can not help we will get you to someone who can. However, our "officers" are officers in the mundane world and do come to the fair to escape their mundane lives just like the rest of us, but an officer is always on duty and I know they always have their badges.

This is true, but unless they are local officers inside of their jurisdiction, they really can't do anything other than request a cessation of activities and inform the local officers. Jurisdiction is very important to the boys in blue.

Do remember though, a cops judgement is held highly in courts etc. If one were to step in and have to do some or anything in the name of safety or the "good samaritan" angle, they have a 90% chance of not getting in trouble, whereas if one of us had to physically put someone to the ground because they might have hurt someone.... we'd be in jail. Not only is their badge powerful as a symbol AND a voucher for their credibility, their knowledge of the law etc is as well... so even out of their jurisdiction they can do many things that we can't safely do.

Welcome to Texas. In Texas we do not have jurisdiction. That is why all cops are called Texas peace officers. If you are really interested on knowing what duties an officer has on or off duty anywhere in the State of Texas look it up under Texas Occupation code 1701

Welcome 10-98.  I assume you're an office because I think that's a radio code?  If you are, thanks for all that you do wherever you are assigned.

huza to that and i toast men complaining about boobs have issues

[tinkerbell]

I say start filming it and email it to the TRF offices so they can actually see what is going on.

now u just sound like a tattletail...they know because it happens every year...all your doing is getting the officers in trouble because they can't be everywhere at once

[tinkerbell]

Ok, seriously, why do we even bother with this fire? It's obviously drawing the wrong crowd, and really- we COULD do something different. Why not have another fire, somewhere in a clearing- far from where everything happens. Let the crazies have their fun around the "pseudo-circle", while we go and have the REAL fun elsewhere.

if the main circle goes away the idiots flood our happy camp grounds and ruin it all...i say let them have it, all rennies stay away from it for a season and we sick the cops on them so we stay out of trouble and the issues go away...how bout that rum
