Hey Man peace to you..... I really support folks having a place to be that they take care of themselves and don't follow societies flow...... I am 44 and have always worked my ass off in the system, but have an open mind about life..... I would love to visit that free thinking place...... I guess I'm too scared to step away from the false comfort of the "normal" existence..... I haven't driven a vehicle in 4 yrs. though... I do have that wild bone in my body... I also spend alot of time with and talking with the free people around Kalispell, MT
💜
FREEDOM IS FLYING AWAY LIKE THE EAGLE IT REPRESENTS. MAY GOD HELP US ALL, AMEN
i feel for the people of slab city and the people who just wanted to go thr for a day or weekend and party and listen to some music, all this comes down to is they r trying to run you all out. keep the faith my brothers and sisters. peace and love from ohio!!!!
I have NEVER seen a bigger waste of county resources in my life ! SIXTEEN county law enforcement vehicles out in the desert because of an entertainment issue ? Who is covering the area's that these deputies are SUPPOSED to be patrolling ?
Monte Walsh USA LAND OF THE FREE . YEAH WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT GOD BLESS SLAB CITY
Every move any leo makes is a waste of money.
I'm so sorry they can't just leave you to peace & quiet!! My thoughts are, you are so far out what difference does the music noise make? A few years late for this comment, but I still have these feelings.
No County has the authority to subvert the first amendment by any ordnance; the Constitution is the supreme law, in the USA!!!
Soooo....What happened? What was the final outcome? Music video or no video?
I love the way you shoot your footage, very well done. :)
So young Ross from " Friend's" coordinated everything?. 😆
Very snazzy bus!
Im ' Looking to find a place to write I need some place with not very many people, where I can think and get away for awhile do you think I could find it there?
i second the previous question, is it open?
EXACTLY !!
those who embrace the lifestyle of the slabs , just as the many communes that sprang up during the 60s ,early 70s are looked upon as a threat to the 'system' ..and many tied to jobs , mortgages , a grind despise and fear your 'free living' lifestyle... keep on people of the slabs !
It turned out that we needed to have fire/emergency services sign off on a permit for the safety of the attendees. That was the problem.
Are the first two dudes from the vice episode?
Slab city is in Southern California, Not North Korea. I mean wtf? I've been to Slab City many times. Its a wonderful place with warm people.
What's going on now at the Slab's The Range? Is The Range shut down to this day? I'm planning a trip there this summer...maybe, I have to adjust my itinerary.
I wanna go live there
how do you define festival? anyways if its semantics then just change the wording on the promos on facebook.
The guy says '' welcome to America comrade '' he says. I doubt they would stop people from playing music in Siberia just because they want to film it.
In another video I watched they were talkin about selling Slab City. And I've dealt with government there are a hopeless mess. If they sell it more than likely they would make the owner or owners clean the whole place up. The government could even possibly run everybody off except the owners of the land. And then that's when the taxes hit, rules, zoning, permits, and regulations. And of course if you don't pay the government takes slab city back or somebody does. And in this economy with it just getting worse and worse in June 2nd 2018. If someone buys it now they are paying too much because the economy is only getting worse and prices keep falling especially in a piece of land like that. with no electricity water or sewer. And I watched documentaries on the government and how they trash land. Burying ammunition bombs Underground radioactive material and all kinds of bad. And why did the government leave Slab City? Maybe they buried some real bad stuff underground that's radioactive and toxic that's why they moved. Even in my area at army ammunition base by the river with a public primary school less than a mile down the street. The Army ammunition base is burning all kinds of bad things right by the river. I mean when you really think of all the bad leftover the Army has to do something with it. but burning it by the river where that river is used for drinking water. Or that river runs into another river that is used for drinking water is crazy because it's getting in the water source and definitely the air. This is nothing but bad the government knows it but they don't care they have to do something with their toxic trash. You would think with all the endless amount of money the government has they can haul this radioactive toxic harmful chemicals and burry them deep underground or burn it Underground. Or use incinerators out in nowhere instead of burning them in town. But we all know the government gets whatever they want and does whatever they want. that bunch is messed up and just doesn't care. And if you join the government you really see what it's like eventually you give up because you can't fix them there's no hope or help for them. Also they could turn Slab City into a FEMA camp which are popping up everywhere and put the homeless and people from Slab City in the FEMA camp.
I think they are afraid of another burning man type of thing starting up..
I wish that I could just invite you to my house for the fest..but I am homeless too
I got it!! What if everybody sang Capella! To AIR GUITARS! AIR VIOLINS, AND AIR DRUMS!!!
Get out need more days like this
It is crazy they told him off
Bummer
Former Military base do police even have jurisdiction?
Yep the County showed up with a small Army…
I agree with the comment bellow..just a fest in the middle of no where that they. care about where the "real property owners can complain. Yet they have to throw the tax and permits coin with loud musicl is not acceptable. It is crazy that when Bill said to play accustic that the performance was their.
Tell them it's just another day not a gathering of any kind
a permit....to play music....in the desert....right
Bottom Line : Some frigen politician didn't get his payoff
Came across this video by misstake, never heard of this place. The people there seem to be happy with living there, they don't seem to be hurting anyone or causing a burden or financial drain on the area, just leave them alone. As an ex officer I would have turned in by badge before I would have went out the with BS paperwork, somebody just didn't get paid off.
It wasn't going to be woodstock get real! These cops are hired by the public to serve and protect the public. These people should have every right to have a little show in the middle of the desert thats not hurting anyone or infringing on anyones rights. IT'S HARASMENT PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!
I finally heard something that is 100% ... 9:02 ... you'r no longer in a free country ... the US of stuffing A
Look at that cop sitting there like a hard ass kids scared of his own shadow look at him
allied1394. Doesn't even look old enough to be one let alone have a permit to carry a gun.@7:50
This why totalitarianism is evil. May americans be free one day like us africans
That is such BS for Law enforcement to show up like this....and they were being asked questions they SHOULD HAVE been able to answer.....they just wouldn't ......this is SO wrong what they did to Slabbers.
damnit man. you should have asked them and got thier actions in no uncertain terms on record. "you think you have the right to limit our freedom, we have a permit we think covers it. as far as we see it, we're good. IF we decide to just go ahead as planned WHAT do YOU! plan to do if we do that?" i mean what can they do? is it an arrestable offence? fuck no.... is it a fineable offence? in thier eyes probably yes... let them go ahead with the fine, just have someone step forward and say... i will allow them to play at my venue... make the fine out to bob jimbo rambo, i will sure accept it and use it as toilet paper. then if you have them say something damning on the tape you can use that as evidence in a court to sue that police department for loss or damage. :p im from the outback and this is ridiculous. but i love your spirits, keep up the good vibes.
This is WHY, when I tell younger folks that today America is not as free as what it was in the 1960s, 1970s, hell even not as free as the 1980s. This is proof. Land of the free?
what fun dealing with 5,000 moochers !!!!! yeahhhhhh
They can get real jobs. No sympathy from me.
you are free...to move around between the walls of your cage.
You should all gather around in a circle and hold hands and start singing a very harmless and nationally acceptable song. This is just to put on a show that couldn't possibly be illegal. Make it a hymn, something they cannot object about with out very bad publicity. Do they want publicity for shutting down Amazing Grace?
Time for a referendum to break free from the Union.
That's me in the East Jesus shirt, we invited a couple of the bands over to East Jesus and rocked the night. We learned the cops were trying to sneak up on us and had everyone leave through the art yard. When the cops got there it was just family and the party was over. Keystone cops lol.
I think they just don't want any trouble. Maybe there hasn't ben any trouble there and that's great. But from the looks of the crowd i'd say that most are experienced and have been around the block and been to their fair share of music concerts, get togethers and parties. I can only speak for myself but i have been to my share and I will be damned if someone doesn't end up getting stupid and causing trouble or someone doesnt get hurt. It usually happens and most of us have seen it.
so sad .........
It is still not shut down!!
Police too often are like the neighbor who just can't let others live their lives not harming anyone. They have to try to assert their authority where they are not needed.
Leave these people with their chosen condition. This country supposedly is free. However, when decisions prove to be unwise and choices result in undesirable endings we are all responsible for our own personal situation. Don't go to a hospital and seek aid. Don't stand on the street corner and beg. Make your bed and sleep in it.
its all about the money it seems once the movie into the wild came along and brought notoriety to the slabs that imperial valley got jealous because their precious salton sea went to hell in a handbasket when the salton sea no longer brought in the cash they started worrying about the free space when they had the money no worries its a shame
What I would have done is called in apt building on fire. They would all run away and on with your concert. Lol Just joking.
Hey.. I've a great idea ... How about having man screw up the "job arena" more so we can have more people without means to live !!
You’re a rockstar💜
🤘
Forward this to Own Shroyer at InfoWars.com, boycott this county.
Turn the Range into a private club like a gun club. Charge $1.00 a year for membership.
Permits= dollars
Tax dollars hard at work. Glad during the high gas price times they got good things like this to use those SUVs for not!!
If there's evidence that they prohibited them from procuring a legal permit, and then stopped them, that's not right. They tried to use the legal process and it failed, they should've elected the music as a First Amendment right of expression and then worked with law enforcement to say "well, keep police officers to present to maintain peace, if that's what you're afraid of", pay the festival permit and be done with it. The county obviously for some reason, worked against them. If I were there I would've told everyone to shut off the cameras and talked to the cops like human beings, people on camera react a certain way. And as they tried to hash out in the video, look for an area outside jurisdiction if it was a problem. Wish I could've been there to help.
This was so unessesary. What is there problem ? Just pushing there weight around .
right would not honor the permit, the kid the came made a movie, dont know much about it,
Take a stand, just fucking play..... Fuck am, they can't arrest everyone
I am so disturbed that my taxes are being wasted on poor people..It will make me got off
And WTF you're not Hillary Clinton!
Ed Dex. You don't pay fucking taxes!
I would like to add that I've seen some of your slab city concerts and you've got some good music and I'm very impressed with all the talent that you've put into is and my point is if it is a lawless county thay should not tax you because its not fair to how the law is operating and taking away your rights and what your trusting in with your talent in music
In the desert can't do anything fun...
they are living there for a reason...... plan ahead and get permits like most people do.... its their own fault.. I could have told them to check before taking the time to set it up
A permit is permission to do something lawful...What these felons are doing is called extortion....
They got a permit asshat...the cops showed up and told them they had the (wrong) permit...could have handled it when they applied for the damn thing...
The police figure out how to get easy overtime
That Was Sure Enough Police Force!!! Over Music?? They should be busy with all the Crime heck go to Chicago they need Police help.
There are drugs in prison maybe they should shut them down to!
Here I am watching this 6 years later, and the county, city officials, and officers should be ashamed. Don’t they have a city to protect, crimes to solve, bigger issues to worry about then a few people getting together to enjoy music.
That's right, they should have helped instead of shutting u guys down
i told u guys bout making all these videos
7:50, those cops are so full of it.
Bottom line who is behind sending the Police out with paperwork.
Some of these comments go back 3-5 years ago. Slab City is owned by the state of California. Tax paying dollars at their best. LOL Nice damn bus! Question: Who was covering the streets while these cops are out in the middle of BFE?
hmmm, lets see,
hair down: hippie.
hair up: punk,
right?
LOL at the guy assuming LEOs are reasonable
am just got A little channel and it is dieing ? And why would I made a new channel for? I been on here for 11 years now 2006 very sad . I can't make No money on my channel because it don't get No hits ? Why would I make a New channel if this one is so bad ?
"i don't give legal opinions" even though he's making legal decision by harassing those people. what a waste of resources. stupid cops need to get their priorities strait.
Why are they shutting them down to just want to play music
what I think it's all political
They just hate us partying, it's the same in the UK they just turned a whole load of positive energy into negative which they thrive on.
sad
big business govt.
I totally would not apply for permits or anything. Just chill for awhile, and keep it low profile. They don't want another Woodstock out there that's all.
so wait...you have to pay $10 to attempt to get permission to exercise your constitutional rights to assemble and freedom of speech????? I hope I live long enough to see the next American revolution!
Where was the ACLU?
ac,, ?
Kissing TRUMPS ass!
American Civil Liberties Union.
All you gotta do is play music off the stage.
Lawless, hum....., Honestly there most certainly enough individuals there too "out man" the law enforcement, simple solution to a simple problem lawless okay sorry folks you failed horribly
welcome to California where you need permission to exercise your rights.
What a waste of time n money for them to spend a whole day hassling folks that wanna play music in the desert. So stupid
at 9;oo you are no longer in a free country . sad !
Make it a protest then you don't need a stinking permit for free speech which includes music....
Thank God we live in America. The land of the free and home of the brave....as long as you have paid the proper fees, to the proper authorities, at the proper times, in the proper places and the proper authorities don't decide to change the proper times, or places prior to your doing what you wanted to do, but were prohibited from doing due to your ignorance of said authority at that time and place.
keep it low key or the dogs will come duh.......
Old news 2 years ago, very misleading!
Obey
more than you know
Haha he's counting on people being reasonable. Been to Earth yet bro?
Those drums are annoying AF!!
There no law there
walkietalkies, guns cost money. I doubt you will outnumber and out arm the police. It would be far better and make sense to just behave. They dont want any trouble and I really think that most residents don't either.
