Cocoa Puff November 7, 2021 Share November 7, 2021 AstroWorld Presser 5 hours ago, GaT said: It's really scary that someone was randomly sticking people with a needle. That's something that really isn't any way to plan for, or prevent. Some crazy decides to attack random people & 8 people die. 14 minutes ago, merylinkid said: That's the Houston PD line. No one AT the concert has said they saw that. Travis Scott knew what was happening because people CLIMBED up to the stage to beg him to stop the concert "people are dying." HPD told Live Nation to shut it down. They said they would. Travis Scott not only kept going, he brought Drake out to do his set. It reminded me of the Who Concert in 1979. But this actually going to turn out to be like the Hillsborough Disaster with the lying and cover ups by police. No someone did get stuck/injected with something. It was a security guard. Quote While Finner joined others in cautioning the public from speculation, he did confirm reports that someone may have been injected with a needle during the melee. "We do have a security guard, according to the medical staff that was out and treated him last night, that he was reaching over to restrain or grab a citizen, and he felt a prick on his neck," Finner said. The security guard lost consciousness and was treated with Narcan, a drug used to combat the effects of opioid overdoses, according to Finner, who added that investigators were still trying to locate the security officer involved.

nexxie November 7, 2021 Share November 7, 2021 (edited) The horror at AstroWorld is so sad - many places have done away with festival seating to avoid crushes like this. Travis has been kind and generous toward Houston, but will have to rethink the format of his events there, and everywhere. I believe that both Travis and Kylie are hurting over this. https://www.insider.com/astroworld-kylie-jenner-says-they-werent-aware-fatalities-during-show-2021-11 Edited November 7, 2021 by nexxie 2 Link to comment

Cinnabon November 7, 2021 Share November 7, 2021 Deplorable. For 37 minutes after Houston police and firefighters responded to a “mass casualty” event at a packed Astroworld rap concert where attendees were crushed against the stage Friday evening, Travis Scott continued performing. Police officials said the promoter, Live Nation, agreed to cut the show shortly after multiple people collapsed at 9:38 p.m. But concert attendees said Scott appeared to play his whole set and finished at 10:15 p.m. Concert staff ignored pleas from fans to halt the show, including some who climbed onto camera platforms to point out others who had collapsed and needed medical attention. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/For-37-minutes-after-officials-declared-a-mass-16598473.php 2 Link to comment
Cocoa Puff November 7, 2021 Share November 7, 2021 (edited) There's a lot of you said she said going on with this tragedy because Travis is alleging that he was never told what was happening so he was oblivious and continued on with his show. And I can see Live Nation the business the company complying with police saying okay yeah we'll shut it down but not really having any intention of doing so. I'm not going to feed into the speculation machine that I keep seeing on social media right now on what happened what didn't happen because a lot of people now I see on social media are coming out speaking about Travis's character and I'm like that I don't got nothing to do with this tragedy.

On Nov. 9, 2019, three people were transported to a local hospital with minor leg injuries after they were trampled at the rapper's show. At the time, Scott shared a video of chaos on his Instagram. The clip showed fans toppling barriers before barrelling down the street en masse. "DA YOUTH DEM CONTROL THE FREQUENCY. EVERYONE HAVE FUN," he captioned. the post.

Cinnabon November 7, 2021 Share November 7, 2021 Wow - not only was there an incident in 2019, but also this one in 2017 (from People mag): Scott — who was arrested in 2017 for allegedly inciting a riot during a concert in Arkansas and later pled guilty to disorderly conduct — faced accusations from festival goers on Saturday who claimed he continued to perform even after seeing distraught and injured fans in the audience. 4 Link to comment
Cinnabon November 7, 2021 Share November 7, 2021 More from People mag - I see a pattern of behavior, don’t you? The lawsuits have already begun. Literally hundreds were injured. “In 2017, Scott, always known for wild shows, went further than usual, encouraging a fan to jump from a second-floor balcony at Terminal 5 — and during the same performance, another fan, Kyle Green, 27, was pushed off the third-floor balcony, ending up paralyzed. “I see you, but are you gonna do it?” Scott said to the fan on the second floor.” 2 Link to comment

Yes I am aware of how many people died and hundreds more were injured and will be forever affected from what should have been a fun night out. I'm thinking with my common sense side. If the investigation finds Travis himself liable then absolutely he should have answer to his crime. But it is highly unlikely that he will see the inside of a jail cell. 2 Link to comment

What a fucking awful human being. “Even before that, Scott repeatedly urged concert crowds to overwhelm security and join him onstage. “There are more of you than them,” he told the crowd at 2015’s Summer Jam concert in East Rutherford, N.J. That same summer, Chicago police arrested him after he urged fans to climb over barricades to go onstage at Lollapalooza.” 4 Link to comment

Mosh Pits were a thing. I've been to quite a few heavy metal and grunge concerts in my day, and never saw any of the artists incite violence, either in general or specifically against the security staff (and contrary to popular belief, these music genres are pretty non-violent). The really high caliber artists (e.g. Metallica, RHCP, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters) take security very seriously. And the people in the crowd tend to look out for each other. Regarding mosh pits, every single one that I've seen has been on a strict opt-in basis. There's usually a circle formed around them so that people don't end up in one if they didn't mean to. Again, there's an unspoken "honor code" that people look out for each other. 1 11 Link to comment

I just wanted to add that into all the things that went wrong Thats a highly likely situation. 3 minutes ago, chocolatine said: I've been to quite a few heavy metal and grunge concerts in my day, and never saw any of the artists incite violence, either in general or specifically against the security staff (and contrary to popular belief, these music genres are pretty non-violent). The really high caliber artists (e.g. Metallica, RHCP, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters) take security very seriously. And the people in the crowd tend to look out for each other. Regarding mosh pits, every single one that I've seen has been on a strict opt-in basis. There's usually a circle formed around them so that people don't end up in one if they didn't mean to. Again, there's an unspoken "honor code" that people look out for each other. Yeah those concerts + artists are what I like to call top shelf. I can recall some insane clown posse concerts getting outta hand years ago. 1 Link to comment
Misslindsey November 9, 2021 Share November 9, 2021 I am assuming Kylie and Stormi were in some VIP area. Does anyone know if they were whisked out of there as soon as everything started getting crazy? I thought I read somewhere that Kylie said they did not realize what was happening, but I would think that if security rushed them out of there most people would think that something bad is happening. 3 Link to comment
