It seems like this could happen anywhere when capacity limits aren't enforced. I know there were some people who broke into the concert, you could see them storming thru the metal detectors. |

I know I am past the age of this demographic....but I personally would avoid these type concerts....outdoors, kind of a "fair" type setup. It is just impossible.....or at least would seem much more difficult to control the crowd. At 43 years old.....I want a fixed seat that I have the option of setting in when I attend a concert. I probably did not feel this way when I was 23 years old. |

The PD had nothing to do with it, stop being lazy. It is on the concert organizers and the people who obviously had no control of the situation. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

I saw a 9 or 10 year old little girl was in bad shape fighting to live....on the surface, it does not seem like an event to take a 10 year old? |

Nope, it was a free for all. Badly organized and now 8 people are dead and a whole lot more have life changing injuries. |

Just looking at those ages is heartbreaking.
Condolences indeed, that is awful. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

That reminds me of when they used to hold EDC at the LA Coliseum. A 15 year old died after overdosing on drugs and they ended up putting a bunch of restrictions which led to the event moving to Las Vegas. Of course this event is a much bigger tragedy so I don't see them avoiding any type of liability. |

i never understood the herd mentality of trampling and crushing people.
I dont care whats going on at a stage Im not going to push against other people to try to inch closer or step on someone who is on the ground _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |

It's gross AF but he's heavily marketed towards kids. They might even be his biggest demographic. He has a partnership with Mickey D's and Fortnite. I only know because some of my younger nephews and neices are fans of his. /vomit. _________________ KOBE |
