I’m out of touch. I’d never heard of “Travis Scott” and so I thought wow, the country music scene had really gotten rough.

The Blues Brothers had it bad enough when they tried to sing Gimme Some Lovin’.

So somebody tell me why I have to wear a stupid mask at the Post Office "for everybody's safety" according to the posted signs but I can go to a rap concert with over 50,000 people scrunched together without one?

If that doesn't prove to everybody that we've been bamboozled the past 18 months, I don't know what will.

This video has context for how the crowd was stationed in the daytime. There appears to be an area, for the VIP’s near the front that has a lot of room, but probably filled up by the time the main act came onstage. What has not yet been revealed, is where exactly the crush of fans was that caused the injuries and deaths. Was it at the very front of the stage, or was it at some barrier area section before that? Also, did fans jump over barriers to get to the section near the stage? Many unanswered questions at this time.

Heard from the very beginning there was no crowd control. People were pushing through medal detectors.

Amy Harris, a freelance photographer for The Associated Press, described an “aggressive” crowd atmosphere throughout the day because of the way fans were behaving — pushing and rushing the stage barricades and prohibited VIP and admission areas.

“It was definitely the most chaotic festival environment that I’ve been in,” Harris said. “I felt uneasy all day.”

At one point, she got trapped behind a barricade while photographing performer Don Toliver because about 300 fans rushed the area. They ended up behind the security barricade with her.

“I was scared,” she said.

“At least 23 people were rushed to a hospital, including a 10-year-old, authorities said. Of those hospitalized, 11 were in cardiac arrest. Some 300 people were treated at a field hospital on the scene.“

Sounds like we need more Travis Scott control laws. (Actually never heard of the guy, Travis who?)

Absolutely correct. Actually there are just way too many such examples to try and even keep track of. It's all about obedience, conformity and control.

Travis Tritt is from the Houston area.

Think of his appeal being to the young rapper/white rapper audience. EDM for rappers.

Stage at 7:24

I’m sure Fauci will be all over that as a “super spreader” event (sarcasm).

It looks like about 80% black but that’s not my point.


I don’t know which news broadcast you’re watching, but every clip I’ve seen, the crowd looks about 90% NON-black. I suppose the stats will come out eventually.

Good reporting and interviews from ABC 13 in Houston.

You’re making my case for me. That crowd was mostly white/NON-black. Prove me wrong.
