Reaction ranged from flippant, to outraged, to resigned.

Since Electric Zoo is cancelled, I guess I'll just have to do Molly at home today.

And then there was the dude who thinks cops should have to hand out free bottled water to drug-users to keep them hydrated. Sigh.
@jodyavirgan for situations involving expected ecstasy usage perhaps cops could hand out free bottled water with ecstasy warnings …
