8 People Dead and others hospitalized at Travis Scotts Astroworld festival

The news articles I read made it sound like it was a crush at the front which happens quite often at festivals.

But these videos show insane disorganisation everywhere.

I've been to festivals where bands stop playing and tell the crowd to back up to stop a crush, yet these rappers continue playing while ambulances are on the field...
 
Posted about this in Happenings but this is probably a better place

Over 100 injured, with general citydweller nonsense like jumping on the security's vehicles while they tried to get unconscious people to treatment
Absolutely horrific!

Look at all those white-skinned cultural appropriators!

Not to defend them, but when you're on stage, you really don't see or hear much of what happens in audience. The cliché of the theatre actor noticing a familiar face among the audience is just that, a cliché. I know this isn't the same, but I can understand that perhaps they didn't know how big the situation was and nobody told them. After all, it's not their responsibility to check for the concert security. Someone from their crew should have told them to stop because people were dying. I don't know if this ever happened, but I have a feeling it didn't.

30 years ago, we had a concert here that ended up equally bad. The singers did stop the show and asked people to remain calm until they could solve it to continue. They thought things were back to normal and started to sing again and a firemen climbed to the stage to tell them to stop. They didn't know and one of them kicked him. It went even more chaotic after that. Back then, I blamed them for this, but now I know that, maybe, the organisers shouldn't have allowed 100K people to get in!

I think these videos show that Travis Scott is a shit-tier human being. Who in all manner of human decency acts defiant when a bunch of people are asking him to stop a show (momentarily!) so that EMT can find, assist and carry out people who might be severely injured, dying, or even dead? Looks to be Travis Scott that's who.

I've seen it in YouTube videos of metal and rock concerts. Band members will stop playing and call out fans in the crowd for acting badly or tell fans to back up if it looks like someone is in trouble. Even normal fans will try to do this for other people without prompting from the stage. I'm just gobsmacked that they wouldn't even stop the concert just to let shit calm down. I mean, isn't it almost an unspoken rule at this point?
 
You have to be especially exceptional to take a kid to a concert with a crowd like that, and without any hearing protection. And Travis Scott is an exceptional individual too for not stopping the show.
Apparently multiple people brought small children with them.

Hell you fall down in a punk pit and half the time you are back on your feet and didn't even hit the ground before somebody yanked you back up and shoved you at somebody.

Why are their Asian niggers there?
Because Houston. There is a full fledged Chinatown there.

If you're thinking of moving to Texas stay away from the Houston area. It's a cesspool of niggers and illegal immigrants.
Don't forget about the Katrina refugees that still shit up the area.
