The party was organized by a group called Renegade, which previously hosted a similar event at the same location on July 4th. That event was billed as a Black Lives Matter party, and according to , this weekend’s rave was similarly branded at first, though it was later touted as a fundraiser for the Legal Aid Society., though acknowledged more could’ve been done to follow safety measures.
“If you think people aren’t going to gather, you’re a fool — there’s no stopping that,” the organizer said. “The event got out of control because people wanted to come, people wanted to be out. People have been cooped up for so long. The pressure is building, and people need a release. It’s already happening. We can do it more safely, or we can pretend it isn’t happening.”
The precautions Renegade did take included stocking a table with free water, masks, and hand sanitizer, and plastering signs around the site telling people to wear masks. Overall, the organizer estimated that 70 to 80 percent of attendees wore masks.
