I have never been to a house party with armed and armored sentries... What the hell kind of party was going on there?

Apparently one with a cover fee large enough to booze it up, pay for event insurance (one could hope), and a night's wages for armed guards.

Sounds like either the best or worst idea ever.

Or they were warming up for the human sacrifice portion. Who knows?

DAMMIT! I missed another P.A.G.A.N. party and I just had my goat fur chaps steam cleaned.

Pretty common for large events where I live. In fact, it’s a major side-employer for off duty cops. A deputy I know gets $100 per hour to do it; she said it’s usually the easiest 3-4 hour job ever.

That's an interesting fact. I am guessing these weren't off duty local cops in this case, or the responders wouldn't have felt the need to call in higher caliber rifles in case they had to open fire.

Though now that you mention it, private social events, clubs, and other events near me use off duty officers for front door duty and traffic coordination. This is a first for me with a B&B kegger.

If they were off-duty cops it wouldn't have been broken up.

These weren't off duty cops, they were tacticool bouncers. Who in their right mind wants to attend a house party where they hired obvious goons? What do they think that they need open carry rifles and body armor for? Whatever it is, it's not like I can't have a good time somewhere else, without such concerns. Basically everyone there is admitting that they are a dirtbag that causes problems.

Cops are concerned because they encountered guards that were better armed and armored than them.

If that were the case, they'd have just waited outside until the party was over.

The article said the armed guards were no problem, just the guests, but my guess is some of those guards were off-duty officers from another beat.

ONE?!? FUCKING ONE?

Having a party is not illegal. And even having an illegally loud party is not a crime unless you refuse to comply when the police come tell you to knock it off.

They wouldn't even have probable cause to search anyone for drugs unless they saw evidence of someone using.

The one person who was arrested only got arrested because they tried to flee and assaulted an officer in the process.

That said, for normal, non-rich people parties, it's common practice for cops to make everybody leave and then wait just outside the neighborhood to bang everyone who drives away on a DUI charge.

It is the first sentence in the article.

I, like I would assume most redditors, do not come here to actually read the articles given how often this exact situation happens. I mean I said likely which is a likely indicator I did not in fact read the article.

The amount of time for all your responses would have been more than enough to read the article. You got this homie, read the next article before commenting.

Yeah, the homeowner is responsible for a majority of the bullshit that happens on their property and would be why they get got while the partygoers walk.

So not only did you not read the article, but you’ve doubled down on the homeowner theory. I need David Attenborough to narrate your life, it must be fascinating to just fabricate as you go.

Hmm, bringing 300 people for a rager is one way to make them earn the outrageous AirBnB cleaning fees!

Sugarcreek has a lot of tourism because it’s Amish country. Lots of shops, restaurants and goods in the area. We live 3 hours away & try to make it once a year. Who knew the Amish were hard partying folks. 😉

Every Amish church is different. You can walk down the road and probably find a church where its a sin to ride a bicycle.

RevengencerAlf t1_j8frcmg wrote

You do know just about every private security company in the country offers "armed and armored sentries" as a service, right? They're just security guards. You can ring up Securitas and hire someone like that for an event in like 48 hours. Or you can actually ring up your local police union or station and hire an off duty cop on even shorter notice.

Most businesses just don't use openly armed or "armored" guards because they don't want customers to be alarmed by seeing it.

Get 300 people drunk and the stupidest and most irresponsible thing possible is to have anyone armed within a mile.

More likely off duty police. Like literally every evening with private security uses off duty police.

Actually they were probably there to throw anyone out that got out of line. You can’t get 300 people together to drink and then just expect the local police department to handle any problems that occur on the taxpayer dollar.I mean you can, but it’s a great way to end up in court or legally liable if anyone dies driving home.

Having bouncers (that’s clearly what this is,) presents a legal defense for liability that shows you made a good faith effort to keep the party in line and avoid having anyone get hurt. That goes a long way towards establishing a legal defense. What if two guys get in a fight? If you don’t have bouncers to break them up, one’s gonna get hurt and he’s suing whoever threw the party.

This is no different from how a successful party bar is run, if anything it sounds like they were being fairly responsible. The biggest issue would be the legalities around booze.
