Human RIU FLASH event... Has this been done?

How about by RIU

Does anyone know if one of those human 'Flash' moments have occured where hundreds of stoners all show up in one location and lit up

Not talking about 420 events or anything like that....talking about a downtown street, a large parking lot, anywhere a huge amount of people all show up AT the designated time and spark up a phatty. Of course you wouldn't be able to advertise much as LEO would know...but just wondering if this has been done well, yet. And yes, if it has happened I apparently didn't get that memo

myself i has done it b4 like 100peps showed up and we all had our own shit and lit up blunt after blunt like at 420 then we all left

yeah we do that here in chicago every year

bro ur in chicago im in peoria lol

dude.. there was a group of stoners where I live that all walked down to the local PD light up joints/blunts and smoked in the lobby (and video taped it) haha.

btw: I don't think any of them got arrested lol.

Chicago Authorities Criticized for
Lack of Law Enforcement at "Weedfest"

Public criticism that police ignored illegal drug activity flared after the 10th annual "Weedfest," held on May 11 and 12 in the parking lot of Chicago's Soldier Field with a permit from the Chicago Park District (Jim Ritter, "Joint Venture: Law Ignores Weedfest," Chicago Sun Times, May 13, 1996, p. 6; Ted Gregory, "Pastor protests parks-sanctioned marijuana fest," Chicago Tribune, May 13, 1996, p. 5; Joan Fencik, "Weedfest facts," Chicago Tribune, May 22, 1996, p. 16; Dennis Byrne, "Dazed and Confused," Chicago Sun Times, May 14, 1996, p.29).
The festival, attended by over 25,000 people, raised about $50,000 for the non-profit Illinois Marijuana Initiative (IMI). The group advocates the decriminalization of marijuana for medicinal and commercial purposes and ultimately for "recreational" use. "We want absolutely no restrictions on the hemp plant whatsoever. ... We need to take it out of the criminal category," said IMI president Rich Byrne. He also noted that the IMI does not condone "the casual, recreational use of marijuana, because it's illegal." IMI agreed in the permit for the festival that no illegal activity would be allowed on Park District property.
It was this alleged "casual" use of marijuana at "Weedfest" that stirred controversy after the event. Rev. Michael Pfleger, the anti-drug pastor of St. Sabina's Church, reported that someone tried to deal him some pot as he got out of his car during a visit to the festival. "Every place we looked, on the right, left, in front and behind us, there were people rolling, inhaling or selling [marijuana]," he said. Pfleger also objected to the conspicuous selling of drug paraphernalia and the open use of marijuana by minors.
Pfleger and other critics complained that police allegedly ignored the massive evidence of illegal drug activity at the event, but officials point to the fact that at least nine arrests were made for marijuana possession. The police also claim that it was their job to direct traffic for the festival, not to patrol "a private event" in which security was provided by the Park District. Joan Fencik, deputy general counsel for the Chicago Park District, responded to the controversy in a letter to the Chicago Tribune on May 22. She said, "The First Amendment does not allow the Park District to deny a permit because it disagrees with a group's political agenda ... [but] it does not require us to issue next year's permit if the allegations of illegal drug use are verified.
"Hemp Fest" in Davenport, Iowa
Interrupted by Arrests and Violence

Police made 33 arrests and used spray to disperse the crowd at a "Hemp Fest," held at Credit Island Park on May 18 (Seth Hettana and Doug Schorpp, "Melee erupts at hemp event," Quad-City Times, May 19, 1996, p. 1A; Jeff Ewoldt, "Organizer: 'I ain't gonna let 'em stop Hemp Fest'," Quad-City Times, May 21, 1996, p. 1A; Jonathon Turner and Steven Jagler, "Hemp Fest turns violent," The Dispatch (IL), May 19, 1996, p. A1).
"Hemp Fest," which organizers said was intended to promote the benefits of the hemp plant, had just begun when police moved in to arrest four people allegedly smoking pot. According to Davenport Police Chief Steve Lynn, after a few individuals incited the crowd to intervene with and resist the arrests, the assemblage grew into "a crowd of near-riot proportion." One officer reported that people in the crowd began "throwing bottles and rocks" at the police. A Davenport police officer underwent surgery for a knee injury and one festival-goer came away with a broken nose sustained during the fracas. Police used Capstunr, a substance similar to pepper spray, to disperse the estimated 300-400 "Hemp Fest" participants. "There's no 'free day' I'm aware of where we're not supposed to enforce laws," Lynn said. "We tried to deal with it as effectively as we could."
Participants, including "Hemp Fest" organizer Bob Moldenhauer, were arrested and held on various charges, including possession of marijuana, inciting a riot, and assaulting a police officer. More than 20 people, including teenagers, were issued citations and released.
Some witnesses claim that the police provoked the brawl in which several children were sprayed by police. "The mace wasn't aimed at people smoking," said Tanya Wheeler, 19. "They were walking around spraying everybody. I had it in my mouth, and it burns your throat." Police Chief Lynn said the accidental spraying of some children was unavoidable.
Over One Hundred Arrested at
"Weedstock" Festival in Wisconsin

Officials reported more than 100 arrests, most of them drug-related, during the annual four- day "Weedstock" festival in Sparta, Wisconsin on May 23-26 ("Police arrest scores at marijuana event," Chicago Tribune, May 27, 1996, p.11; "Wisconsin," USA Today, May 28, 1996, p. A10).
A law enforcement officer said that "Weedstock," a festival held to educate people about the value of the marijuana plant, was more about getting high than education. "I see it as more use of it, than information about it," said Lt. Charles Schwarz of the Monroe County Sheriff's Department. Officials say that more than 3,000 people attended the festival.

man...fuck the police....stupid shit like

Haha yeah that might work, most of my connections are closed circuit though... I do know a few people that could get the word out.



What if we had a big day where a bunch of members organized a bunch of these events. All over the country, at the same time!

That would be pretty sweet

first you have to be willing to be arrested
you have to stay non-violent no mater what the police do or say
after this then and only then can you oganize an event
these guys even get the right paper work for this
but what i would do is go to a web cafe and organize everything so that it cant come back on you
no could sue you if they get hurt and the city couldn't fine you
flash weedfest 2010
put it up on every messege board and just do it call in to a raido station 1 hour before
take public transit

I know facebook an twitter will help you organize it.They used that shit in philly to have a huge snowball fight with like 300 people.It ended up going bad though an everybody started fighting and the Macys got looted lol.We have something like the weedfest here usually every year it dont ever turn violent though its just a bunch of stinkin ass hippies chanting legalize weed and people smoking the cops dont give a fuck as long as no riots break out.

Things like this would only work out locally. First, RIU is worldwide although mostly stateside. Second, there are LEO on this board- the moment a time and location are decided upon, the local L.E. would be contacted.

My recommendation is to either:

1. Keep it local (many local events)
2. One huge event that would be difficult to disperse by LEO standards

Yeah what I was talking about doing was do it local and by word of mouth in order to avoid cops knowing about it before it happens.

So now lets say you go on a message board and basically say "We have a local group of people doing this in California, you guys should each get something else going. The time will be 4:20 CST - - - SPREAD THE WORD!" or something along those lines.

The best result would be these events taking place ALL over the country.



I wouldn't really worry too much about being arrested, I mean if you had 70+ people in one spot? If the cops came everyone would just dip out... They'd need an almost equal amount of cops to even hope to get everyone, I don't think there are even 60 cops on duty at any given moment in my area...
