   I don't understand the blindness toward facts evidenced even here.
   Some details are not in dispute:  The "mass-gathering permit" is
   required for events with over 250 attendees that will last longer
   than 12 hours.  The event in question was publicly advertised as
   taking place from 9:00pm until 6:30am (clearly less than 12 hours).
   It doesn't take a judge to figure out that the Sheriff's claim about
   raiding the event because of the lack of such a permit is specious,
   and without that claim they appear to have no legitimate reason for
   conducting the raid.
