Partying, "Raging" in Austin is getting out of control!
Several local young adults go to the "raves" down around the Austin area.
That mass crowds attend. Young girls are barely dressed.
Supposedly the scene there is anything goes and drugs are plentiful.
What an example for our youth...to condone excessive partying.
Maybe it is time for the police force to crack down on such activity.
When people party until they drop...how very sad that these individuals have no self respect/dignity.
So very sad that this type of behavior has become the norm.
What has our society become...insane.
What part of young and stupid don't you get?
the pictures show people just having a good/ fun time. i see no obscene or violence or strange scenarios. i am not out to judge anyone, mainly cause i am not a judge. i believe, as long as any Laws are not broken, people have the Right to enjoy Liberty & happiness......
It looks like the passed-out fat guy is about to get mugged & robbed! ...just sayin'
