I hope his ass is thrown in jail, he loses all his record deals/fortune, and hope that hes literally never heard from again.

Travis Scott is a country singer? I feel like somebody named Travis Scott performing in Texas must be a country singer. But this is not how Id expect country music fans to act. Garth would never tolerate this behavior.

I didn't even know who he was until here about an hour ago.
But ya, that situation, right there, is completely inexcusable.

Actually where I am at Country concerts are just under Rap concerts in terms of being a pain in the ass for security.
People always point their fingers at The Dead and Phish concerts, but that is just not the case.

I know this really isn't the point and I am certainly not trying to belittle the tragedy of it but is that REALLY what all those people went to hear?

Fuck that's horrible (in an offends the senses way, not in the tragic loss of life way)

Some say he didn't exactly know what was going on or had no idea how bad it was.

He just released a statement. Fuck this guy.

Im no Bill Maher fan but he did say something interesting about gen x and z.

Bill Maher delivered a blistering attack on Gens X and Z, essentially calling them hypocrites for pretending to be woke while celebrating excesses that are destroying planet earth.

The "Real Time" host said the youngins have a choice ... Greta Thunberg or Kylie Jenner, and Bill says the choice is clear because the 2 young women are polar opposites. He goes on to say it's no contest, just on numbers alone. Greta has 13 million Instagram followers, while Kylie has an astonishing 279 mil.
Bill's diatribe is blistering ... he says the choice is between a model citizen and a model, and the latter blows the former out of the water.
Maher concedes ... Kylie has built an empire on her own, but she's anything but a conservationist. He goes into her closet, and then says while Greta refuses to fly (to do her part re: the carbon footprint), Kylie refuses to fly commercial.

Some people seem to be under the impression that you can't have a good time without doing something stupid.

A human crush event. Basically, people were swarming the stage to get as close as possible. When that happens, people in the middle of the dense crowd are essentially inside a compactor made of people. Youre being smushed so badly that you literally dont have enough room for your lungs to expand for breath.

Also, some people are stampeded in the event, either from just falling or after passing out from the crush.

Wow how did this happen? Dont they have ways to prevent it?

These are the adults in 3-5 years.

Astroworld reps out there saying someone in the crowd went crazy and started injecting people with drugs. Sure.

honestly this topic is my first time hearing about this guy so idk but without knowing who he is it just seems like a really fucking ominous message.

A lot of his stuff has had see you type of phrases. This one he was mentioning another universe, so see you on the other side was saying Ill see you in that other universe. Again, a lot of his stuff has see you in it, so its nothing other than a coincidence that people are looking too much into.

The stadium and their security need to be held responsible for this and to pay up a lot of money to all the people and families involved. They need to be the ones to stop the music and stop the show.

From the sound of it, lack of security and lack of medical personnel on hand.

Jeez. I just left Houston.
I read the topic title and expected a mass attack.
This is somehow more insane.

I actually think his recorded stuff is really good, but dude just doesnt not give a fuck about making it sound good live

all he wants is to encourage his fans to rage and put on a spectacle

Ive seen hundreds of shows over the years, and Travis Scott Bonnaroo 2017 stands out to me as one of the absolute worst

---

Imagine coping with the loss of a loved one via Sicko Mode. That shit's embarrassing, "oh yeah so-and-so died from being crushed at a Travis Scott concert". Like does that not sound lame as fuck?

Should find the whole video. He stops the show to point out the passed out person, said nobody touch the person, told security to come, told people to move to let security in to get the person.

---

Rolling Stone interviewed a nurse who was in attendance and she said she started to feel the pressure in her chest from being pushed and crushed forward. She went unconscious and was crowd surfed to an area, once she regained consciousness she began helping other people that were being worked on.

Security should have shut the event down when they bumrushed the VIP section earlier in the day.

Been to a lot of festivals. This kind of shit happens all the time with people passing out. Gotta remember what is going on though, thousands of people are screaming and partying. You dont really know what something is by just looking at it. You might think oh they took too much. Its also dark and you might be intoxicated.

Its a perfect recipe for a disaster when shit hits the fan. Blame the organizers, not the fans.

definitely can blame the fucking fans. Theyre the dumbasses who started rushing the stage.

But its the security and organizers job to see whats actually happening and to stop the show. Which they did stop it at some point, so at least theres that.

---

He deleted some tweets last night from back when this show sold out where he was basically encouraging people to break into the show if they didnt have tickets

He loves this shit happening at his shows, fuck him and fuck anyone defending him.

---

Hes involved with the kardashians and jenners. Nothing will happen to him

So he was well aware of the severity of the situation and still continued on.

Imagine having auto-tune being a part of your eulogy.

Absolutely terrifying. The security and the festival staff should be held accountable. But tbh most festival staff aren't actually trained all that well. This is a problem with pretty much every festival. This could happen at any of these things.

If you guys wanna do some reading, here's the official TS reddit page full of horrible stories and video's... man it's fucked.

Travis Scott deserves to get sued into poverty for encouraging this shit and Tweeting about allowing more fans in, exceeding the occupancy.

---

This is a bit like the Hillsborough disaster right? People getting crushed alive.

---

The reality of crowd situations like this is that your experience could be drastically different than the person a few feet away from you. You should always listen to pleas of help. Its like being in the ocean and someone getting pulled in by a current and you're just chillin. And most of the time security is watching on foot tall risers, not nearly tall enough to see someone get sucked into the pavement.

And almost every festival crowd (at least the big artists) I've been in there's been a medical emergency. It's basically the norm and the show goes on. This isn't just "Travis Scott culture" its festival culture and some of the worst human beings I've ever met are in these crowds. Complete disregard for other people, and not just pushing or whatever. They straight up wont pick anyone up if they fall. Or they'll step over them.

The most kind people I've ever met are in metal crowds. They know the dangers, they know the amount of injuries and deaths that happen at these shows and they'll pick you up even if they just punched you in the face in the pit. They're the safest kinds of shows.

I posted this from the other angle.
But all things being equal, I've gotta say, those mounted officers did not use their horses too well.
They tried to use them as a barrier, and that isn't how it works in crowd control.
