Guard unknowingly drugged at Shambhala (GHB + LSD)

I think it was less likely to be attempted sex assault do to the LSD, more likely some creep wanted to take out a security guard because he was up to no good anyway. Gun toting wanna be thugs from the city need to be purged though.
Security guard unknowingly drugged at Shambhala
By Staff Writer - Nelson Star Published: August 16, 2013 11:00 AM Updated: August 16, 2013 11:03 AM
The security team at Shambhala is reeling after one of their own was drugged on the final morning of the five-day festival held in Salmo.
On Monday morning a security guard was handed a sealed bottle of water while working at the Fractal Forest. The bottle contained a high concentration of GHB and LSD, according to a statement released by Barry Wilding, director of public safety,
“The guard was rushed to our medical facility where she received acute medical care. If not for our medical team, we are not certain what the outcome might have been. Suffice to say, they saved her life,” he said.
Wilding has worked in security at Shambhala for 13 years and during that time guards have dealt with matters involving weapons, drug traffickers and gangsters. Assault and verbal abuse happens, he said.
“And so much more that goes unnoticed,” Wilding said. “We accept that as part of our job and our responsibility.”
Being dosed while on duty — “doing their utmost to keep people safe” — is deplorable and the organization worries it may have been intentional.
“While not everyone may appreciate the work they do or understand the complexities of security and law enforcement, intentionally dosing a guard, or anyone for that matter, is unacceptable,” said Wilding.
No one should be unknowingly drugged, said Shambhala communications’ Britz Bitz via Facebook.
She said it has happened to her and was a “terrible” experience. She also said the incident doesn’t reflect a general occurrence at the festival.
“As someone who's been going for 11 years, the love is constantly present. This incident is in no way representative of the overall Shambhala crowd,” said Britz.
Wilding concurs.
“I know, and my guards know, that 99.9% of the people who attend Shambhala are good souls and would never condone such an act. It is the 99.9% that keeps us coming back year after year. From management to staff to patrons, we have always had your back. Now it’s time for you to have ours,” he said.
The matter has been reported to the RCMP who is investigating as the festival organization looks for help as well.
Anyone with information can contact Salmo RCMP or Wilding at publicsafety@shambhalamusicfestival.com http://www.nelsonstar.com/news/219951121.html

Exactly. so people should stop the cop hating.
One festival I went to there a couple thousand people. There's never been a problem with violence, but there's always a lot of cops. And you'll see people getting pissed at the cops, yell at them, and baiting them. But one year a couple got in a fight, and there was an accidental discharge with a hand gun. 2k people panicked. And there were the cops, keeping everything organized as best they could so that people didn't get stampeded. People are dumb, stupid, and panicky. Hate people. That's cool. But don't hate cops.

There are legitimate reasons to have some resentment towards cops but not hate all of them blindly. Doing things like this makes you sink to the bad ones level. It does no good except for giving the cops more reason to hate drugs. Dosing someone unknowingly like that is cruel and is one of the worst things you can do to someone psychologically. To bad they can't find out who did it, but bullshit like this could lead to having cameras and shit at festivals which I'm sure most people don't want.

That festival has lots of GHB and K opiates and yet never heard of a single sex assault. In 12 years only one drug death. Security there does a pretty job containing the chaos. So they confiscated your drugs or beer, you didn't hide it right. Not a reason to poison someone.

Dam, I was at that festival mixing lots of GHB and LSD.
Fucked up that anyone would do this to another person.
Though I wonder, if there was as much GHB as said, wouldn't the security person have tasted the salty goodness of the GHB and spat it out? It's a pretty strong taste. Water wouldn't mask it very well.
Nonetheless, fucked up shit. Hope this never happens again.

Fuck the police. We don't need them, on lot or anywhere else. If they get dosed, shot, etc, well that's one more notch in our belt, compared to the thousands of lives they take.
Back in the day, bikers did security. And there weren't very many problems.
Again, fuck the police. If you sign up for a murderous organization, and you get killed or drugged, well you got what you deserve.

This incident has nothing to do with police. Security at festivals are very often heads themselves and the fact that she's worked Shambhala for 13 years makes me think that's the case here.

Hells angels knifed a guy at monterrey fest while the rolling stones played 'let it bleed'
-------------------- Rocks speak to me, and tell me this: The Hell Creek formation is a gigantic slab of rocks that covers several western states. It contains an account of the dinosaurs' demise. In the late Cretaceous period, the first Cannabis species appear, and soon after, all the non-bird dinosaurs disappeared. Obviously, marihuana killed the dinosaurs. That giant meteor that smacked the yucatan peninsula right afterwards, coincidence.

It was at Altamonte in 1969. The Rolling Stones did not play at Monterrey which was in 1967. The song was not Let it Bleed. The Stones were playing Under my Thumb when Meredeth Hunter was stabbed. However, during the previous song, Sympathy for the Devil, the band stopped playing several times and tried to talk the crowd into acting peacefully.
The Angels stabbed the guy after he pulled a gun on them. Besides that, one person drowned in a drainage ditch and two were killed in car accidents.
The events of the day were chronicled in two Stones documentaries: Gimme Shelter (1970) and the recent Crossfire Hurricane

Bikers are such fucking pieces of shit. The area where I live is overrun with them. If you even accidentally look at them, they'll smash your face in, and that's if your lucky. Vagos and HA are the main ones around here. We hear about things like bikers driving drywall screws into someone's arm until they lose conciousness from pain. Boy I'm so glad they're around.

I'm in Outlaw country. I haven't had any problems with them, but I usually keep my distance, and I am not going to their picnics. A couple of my friends ride with them, but they're not real members. Even those guys are ready to throw down in a second.
