Any concert or large gathering is going to have drug use and underage drinking. If they do this at every large gathering then we are in for a tough time and a lot of hardship in the future. I hope the state of Utah and Utah County go bankrupt from having to pay some ridiculously high lawsuits. In addition I hope the Sheriff and anyone else involved are prosecuted and booted from their positions. This truly is a sad day when something like this can happen.
Let me explain something as people on IA.com don't see to have all of the info:

1. The party was illegal. Yes, illegal. WHY was it illegal you ask? Simple: they did not have the proper permits for such a large party (over 250 people). That is Utah law.

2. Undercover officers were in the crowd early on and witnessed MANY illegal activities going down.

They were FULLY w/in their right to bust this party.

It was illegal. Nothing else left to say.
