Well, sadly, for the second time in the last 13 years the "Rainbow Clan" has decided to "invade" (the local papers description!) SW Montana!
The "Rainbow Clan" has a mass gathering or camp out every year and 13 years ago 23,000 of these alternate lifestyle cretins showed up here and ruined a huge meadow and adjoining forest on public land!
This year they are predicting 27,000 "Rainbows" are now and will be here and won't start dispersing until at least July 5th!
Law Enforcement, medical facilites and forest service personnel are overwhelmed and many local businesses are being forced to CLOSE!
Keep in mind the huge (land wise!) county that these Rainbows have chosen to invade consists of only 9,200 residents so visualize three times that number of drug using "adult" Rainbows coming from every corner of the country to spend 16 to 20 days "communing"!
Already law enforcement has arrested three Level 1 sex offenders (for not registering immediately upon entering the county!) and have recovered 5 stolen vehicles from various states.
It seems the "love" types LOVE to take other peoples cars without permission and head out for a mass grass fest!
Many arrests and countless aid calls have already been made at invasion central - Skinner Meadows of the Bighole Valley!
The last time the "Rainbows" came here they imposed greatly (overwhelmingly?) on our meager medical facilities. Including birthing 5 (five) new Rainbows at our hospital and not paying a penny for those services!
Much thievery and other impositions are heaped upon the counties residents during these invasions - most thefts are of fuel, camping supplies and barbecues.
Much shopplifting occurs at area grocery stores as well.
The last time the "Rainbows" were here I took my oldest son to town for groceries. He loves vanilla ice cream and chose his favorite brand in the half gallon size.
We went right home and he got his bowl and spoon and opened up the container - there to our surprise was evidence a "Rainbow" had been there before him!
A large hand scoop mark and much missing ice cream offended us!
I immediately took the ice cream and my receipt back to our Safeway and showed the manager. I told him I did NOT want a refund but I told him I wanted better surveillance of food products for my families safety.
The man manager nearly broke down and cried - he threw his hands up in the air and wailed "when will these bastrds leave"!
He relayed many more serious incidents he had been dealing with for over two weeks by then.
The same store has had to remove several Rainbows for using the produce misters as hair shampooing this past week!!!
Local law enforcement including city, county and state police have called in ALL available officers and redeployed them to cover the "Rainbows" and there commune.
Meanwhile the taxpayers are suffering under safety issues that are slow to be handled due to lack of public safety officers handling "normal" duties.
Runaways, drug overdoses, assaults, fire dangers, traffic incidents galore all center around the "Rainbows" and their invasion.
Plus, to begin with instead of OUR Federal Forest Service even trying to dissuade or prevent the outrageous and unlawful activities of a hundred types the forest service caters to these cretins - not even making an attempt to hold them accountable for fees, permits, clean up costs of ANY kind!
Double standard to the max this!
Local ranchers, campers and Hunters are dealt with in a swift and EXPENSIVE manner if even ONE forest service rule is violated!!!
But special "policies" apply to the "Rainbows".
To top it all off there have been repeated afternoon rains for the last two weeks here - and NOTHING smells worse than a dreadlocked, unkept, unclean, wool wearing, WET Rainbow man/woman!
I mean they really stink to high heaven when wet!
I recently ran the gauntlet of wet, stinking, begging, Rainbows in front of a local gas station convenience store and literally nearly gagged at the horrible stench they manifested!
I will stay in my house for the most part during this invasion - sadly.
I wonder if the federal forest service would ALLOW an unpermitted gathering of 29,000 Tea Party followers on their entrusted lands?
Or 29,000 Mormons?
I know for a fact they would NOT standby while 29,000 Republicans held a picnic in a public meadow with no toilets!
Be aware if travelling or vacationing in SW Montana that impaired drivers, uninsured drivers and thieves are about and in large numbers!
Use appropriate precautions if you dare come here.
I am NOT saying that all Rainbows are thieves and druggards BUT a large percentage of them are!
I fear for the future of this country.

Seriously though I have a friend that has had to work as LEO for that event. He said it is the the biggest bunch of pigs ever to gather...

Never heard of these "rainbows", but doesn't sound very good.

Why called rainbows? Queers?

I know the PIO for the forest service here. She had to deal with them a couple of years ago when they invaded us. She told similar tales.

If I owned a gas station or a store I would lock the doors/shut off the gas pumps and only open the doors/turn on the pumps for the locals. I would refuse to do business with a crowd like that.

I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

Darn it, Skinner Meadows is a neat spot...had my picture taken at the sign, of course, with a huge honkin' Big Hole thunderstorm on the way. I wonder how much of a wreck it will be. Animals, they are.

Just like the Occupy Wall Street....

Bet that place still stinks and is a health hazard.

Put out some signs saying it's been moved to Death Valley this year as a detour.... That place ought to be real comfy about now. wink

Good afternoon gentlemen. I have been observing for quite some time but this is my first post. More years ago than I would like to remember, this group of scum had their annual gathering in the forest SW of Cusick, WA. At the time, I was flying a rescue helicopter for the Air Force out of Fairchild AFB, WA, with a secondary mission of support for the AF's Survival School in the woods around Cusick. To reach the training area, we had to overfly the Rainbow's encampment, and every time we flew over, they would scream to the county sheriff that we were strafing them with machine guns and harassing them. They are really a great piece of work, unfortunately, the cat forgot to bury them after it finished.

The Wiki page on Rainbow Gathering makes them sound like a bunch of friendly folks who gather to share love and good karma. Cool.

They will destroy the area and costs us 100's of thousands in damage and unpaid services (police, fire, medical). I vote we release a bunch of problem bears and wolves in the area, after all they have to eat too.

Next year they should do it in SF park with all the other fruits and nuts.

You have a varmint gun?

Get to work


Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they want a war let it begin here.

Is this the same bunch that had a get-together in Oregon and Jeff O and his family attended?
