Zombie Ravers Take On Terror Cops
Text by Jonty Skrufff (Skrufff.com)
Seven American Zombie ravers who spent 3 nights in jail after Minneapolis
cops charged them with "simulating weapons of mass destruction," after they
danced on a Minneapolis street corner around portable stereos, launched a
lawsuit this week, claiming officers abused their rights.
The make-up loving zombies’ lawsuit claimed one cop ‘heatedly swore he
didn't care about the zombies' constitutional rights and that he was going
to teach the undead a lesson’ and complained that prison officers even
removed one of the zombies' prosthetic legs while he was in jail. (Twin
Cities News).
"The musical equipment had no resemblance to weapons of mass destruction,
and its purpose and use could easily be ascertained," the lawsuit claim
added, requesting $50,000 in damages.
The case comes at the end of a horrific year for the much mocked
underground dance sect, who were targeted in March by psycho spree killer
Kyle Duff, who shot six zombie ravers dead in Seattle, before turning his
gun on himself.
“They’re packed in there, groping each other, having sex, this hippy stuff
has to end,' Huff seethed, in a suicide note found months after the
killings, “I’ve got to do something about it. These people are screwing up
the world,” he raged (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)
