Is this what we as a community want? When law enforcement winks at the law,
where does this leave parents who do not want their sons and daughters to
drink? How did it help those students who resisted the peer pressure by not
drinking or attending the party?

Recently the was a beer bash held out in the county.
> Rumor had it that this was the "senior kegger" for Moscow High School.
> Rumor also says that local law enforcment was aware of and attended the

> the age of 21 is illegal in this state and those caught should then be
> prosecuted. However, the perception is that underage drinking is some
kind

> The real question that needs to be answered is " Does this community
> want our local police (city and county) to make "judgement calls" about
> certain situations"? or do we want total compliance with written law.
