In his letter he wrote, “I cannot believe we’re at the point where I [got to] say this out loud: Travis Scott is a performer, an act, not a concert promoter. He doesn’t run the sound or venues or festivals or their staff. He doesn’t build stages or coordinate logistics, he’s not an expert in crowd control or security or emergency medical services. But he does trust Live Nation and all the other concert promoters who are supposed to do all of this. And yet here we are, 10 deaths and counting. 10 broken families. The world is mourning,” his letter began.

Well - I might agree with the esteemed Chuck D.. except for the fact that Travis shouted out to the crowd to rush the stage.
911 is a joke
Carlton Douglas Ridenhour is a joke.
What? it’s my fault? I wasn’t even there.
He’s not wrong. But I’d bet no-one involved was a Christian, a conservative or a Republican.
I’m not mourning, who gives a shit.
“the world is in mourning”
Lolol!! Nope. Not even close.
I thought all the beasties had died.
One of the scariest times in my life was at Red Rocks seeing Megadeth when the very drunk crowd waiting in line for the admission gates to open starter throwing projectiles.
Sometimes bad sh*t happens at these things.
Massive crowds can be very unpredictable. And easily provoked.
I never knew before who Chuck D. is, but now I know he’s stupid.
Flava Flav is the one with the brains.
“Massive crowds can be very unpredictable. And easily provoked.”
Which is why as a rule we avoid them.

“Live Nation, your stock is up. The White Corporate Music Biz keeps cashing in on Black Pain, Trauma and Death. This has to stop yesterday. You’re part of the problem. Grow the f*** up, fix this and let us all LIVE in PEACE.”

I have no idea who is to blame, but was open to the idea that he had a point until the very end. There it is: the race card and the obligatory F-word.
Sorry, going to have to disagree with you here.
Ive been at two events where a top name band was performing and stopped due to crowd behevior issues. At one “we arent going to play until that guy is removed” and the other was “we wont play until [those people] stop [that behavior]”.
In the first the offender popped out of the top of the crowd and was passed hand over hand until chucked out and in the second there was a brief commotion on the floor and the crowd adjusted the trouble makers views on appropriate behavior.
Yes, things can happen and suddenly. In this case the problems were already evident and occurring during the previous act. He should have never taken the stage and he certainly shouldnt have instigated the event that resulted.
#11. I think I knew Chuck D’s cousin, Upchuck. Both stink.
