Last year in Los Angeles, there was a huge rave called the Electric Daisy Carnival that took place at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. A 15-year old girl named Sasha Rodriguez overdosed and died [link]. It seems like her parents are now suing Los Angeles/the Colesium Commission because they didn't ban underaged teenagers from entering the event and doing drugs.

The parents of 15-year-old Sasha Rodriguez, who died of an ecstasy overdose after attending a rave, have filed a claim against the management of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The parents are seeking $5 million in damages from the Coliseum Commission.

The claim, filed Dec. 23 with both the city and county of Los Angeles, is a necessary step before suing in court. The claim says the commission, a joint state, city and county board, did not fulfill its "duties and was negligent in creating and/or allowing others to create a dangerous condition of public property" during the two-day Electric Daisy Carnival rave at the Coliseum in June.

You might remember Sasha Rodriguez's mother from this local news video about raves where she talks abt having 2 take her daughter off life support.

Do u think it is 'right' for the family 2 sue for damages, or was it partially the parents' fault for letting their teenager go 2 a drug-fueled rave?

Do u think $5 million is 'fair'?
Should ravers be forced 2 sign 'waivers' that acknowledge that they are entering into a drug zone where 'anything can happen?
Did yall go to the Electric Daisy Carnival? Did it seem like a death trap?

The Electric Daisy Carnival rave, which drew 185,000 people over two days, resulted in 120 people being taken to local hospitals, mostly for drug intoxication. Coliseum managers said there were no major problems at subsequent raves Aug. 21 and Oct. 23, which attracted 6,000 and 22,000 people, respectively. A New Year's Eve rave, Together as One, at the Sports Arena resulted in 25 arrests and 17 hospitalizations.

Should raves be held at public places 4 the sake of safety?
Would u rather go 2 a rave at a sports facility or in some 'field' in the middle of no where?
Whose responsibility is it 2 make sure teens don't use drugs?
Should public schools start some sort of 'Drug Abuse Resistance Education' program 2 save kids from doing drugs, just 2 'say no'?
Should Barry Obama 'ban' raves across the USA?
Are raves a natural extension of the human experience?
