They Threw a Movie Premier and a Rave Broke Out

Trouble in Hollywood tonight:
Police have been unable to control an unruly crowd of hundreds of people in Hollywood, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Karen Rayner said.

The crowd gathered at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre for the premiere of a documentary on the Electric Daisy Carnival, an electronic music festival that’s notorious for how many attendees use recreational drugs.

People have refused to disperse and began throwing bottles at officers. Police have proceeded to shoot at the crowds with bean bags.

The crowds have vandalized police cars and set fires, Rayner said.
The Electric Daisy Carnivals are rave events that feature loud music, flashing lights, massive crowds, and the occasional drug-related death (see Google). Not surprised the event in Hollywood isn't working out so well.
