It’s time to get back to normal life.

********

This seems to be normal at times.
DC had one a few months ago.

Since its black on black there will be no one held to blame.

Radio news (WBAP DFW) this morning had almost no details on the story this morning other than the location. Looks like Deep State Media will be trying to suppress it.

"I saw Olivia Newton-John in the Astro Dome or Astro World in Houston (I don’t remember which) in 1980"

I saw Bob Dylan there for the Hurricane Carter concert in 1975.
(Learned not to go to a place like that for a concert)

“We’ve been bamboozled.

It’s time to get back to normal life.”

Have you noticed that the only people having a pandemic are the government and the press? I don’t go out much, but I do see 10s of thousands of people at college football games, concerts, etc. and nobody seems particularly worried. I honestly believe most people have left the government behind on this. I posted this on another thread this morning:

The stupid covid crap of the day: the Blue Angels will be performing in Pensacola today. The event will be held on Pensacola Beach instead of the Naval Air Station as usual because covid. Apparently, if you park your car on Pensacola Beach and walk to the observation area you’re less likely to get or spread covid than if you do the same exact thing at the Naval Air Station.

I guess trampling is unlikely at an ONJ concert.

It does depend a lot on the performers and the audience. I was at the Three Tenors concert in Paris in 1998 with a crowd estimated at 200,000 surrounding the Eiffel tower. Everyone was enthralled by the music, no rushing the stage, no excessive crowd noise, no shoving, pushing or trampling. We left quickly when the concert was over to avoid the crowd in the Metro, but otherwise we didn't have to take any precautions.

Yep, December of 79 in Cincinnati. We just past the 40th anniversary of that mess.

Jacques Bermon Webster II, known professionally as Travis Scott,
is an American rapper, singer and record producer. His stage name
is the namesake of a favorite uncle combined with the first name of
one of his inspirations, Kid Cudi. In 2012, Scott signed his first
major-label contract with Epic Records.

Usually when 8 people are killed at rap concerts it is by gunfire. These deaths are very unusual.

Who cares about the dead and injured, I want to know how the performance went.

“Horrifying videos on social media showed first responders performing CPR on an unconscious person as the concert continued.”

Wow, didn’t know that. But makes sense, since most of wrap is about violence, so the fans were getting what they paid for.

“For the past few months, sports stadiums, concert venues and Trump rallies have congregated tens of thousands of people closely together with no masking and yet none of those much ballyhooed “super-spreader outbreaks” has ever come to pass.”

And Texas is a good example too. 100,000 at a college football game 3 weeks ago (and probably a million total for all games that day).

...and our infection numbers continue to drop like a rock.

Wow. I didn’t think it was that many. I was way off. I remember seeing it on the news stations at the time.
