The "snatch squads" out grabbing people reminded me of this action 20 years ago.

I don't know what's worse, being "disappeared" by Blackwater ops today or smalltown cops back then. The Clown House had an unintentional secret weapon. On this night more than half the Clown House was apprehended but only a couple were kept very long. By co-incidence several clowns were also tree sitters. The kind that sit in ancient trees, drinking creek water and fighting lumberjacks and forest service cops. That means riotcops had a 4 in 8 chance of nabbing someone in clown drag who was also pouring diarrhea down their legs. Not an ideal situation for a squad car. The ones who were busted were the folks cornered in the loading dock. The Clown House lived on for 7 more years but it almost ended this night.
