Rap concert? Shootings? Any known cause for the altercation? Or, just dumbasses being dumbasses.

This could have been avoided if they had only used the correct hashtag...

This is why local municipalities dread the presence of a nightclub that specializes in hip-hop music. There used be one in the Old Sacramento district of Sacramento, CA many years ago, but they shut it down after a fatal shooting outside the nightclub.

What’s really weird is that it was in NYC. I thought NYC was a gun free zone. Oh, duh. For law abiding ciitzens/subjects only. How silly of me to miss that.

Somebody had a bigger gold chain/necklace than an opposing group? Where’s the equality in that?

The words “Rap” and “Concert” shouldn’t be used in the same sentence...

We here in TN have just been left out. Many of us pack heat and I have a good friend who’s an excellent violinist. Nevertheless, he hasn’t been at a single concert where anybody has been shot; indeed, nobody’s even pulled a gun in anger. I’m sad, we’ve been deprived, even with all the eevil guns around here.

Rap concerts and midnight basketball courts are #blacklivesdon’tmatter zones.

I went to a fight, and a rap concert broke out.
