Post Millennial– A 23-year-old man who attended Travis Scott’s disastrous Friday night Astroworld set is suing the rapper, as well as special guest Drake, for “inciting the crowd” that led to the deaths of eight people.
Kristian Paredes, from Austin, Texas, is accusing the rappers, Live Nation Entertainment Inc. and Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation of negligence, according to the complaint obtained by the Daily Mail on Sunday.
According to the complaint, special guest Drake reportedly “came on stage alongside Travis Scott and helped incite the crowd.”
The suit accuses Drake and Travis Scott of continuing to perform “as the crowd became out of control” and “while the crowd mayhem continued.” more
But Jan 6th was the most violent insurrection in history.
Pretty sure the feds will eventually chalk up the deaths to either COVID-19 or white supremacist domestic terror.
This isn’t the first time that this happened, remember the Rolling Stones used the Hell’s Angels as security at their Altamont concert back in the late 60’s that led to some fans being killed and the fans who were trampled to death at a Who concert in Cincinatti in the late 70’s that was lamented on WKRP In Cincinatti by Dr. Johnny Fever. And don’t even get me started on the hooligans who have caused massive stampedes and riots in the UK that resulted in mass casualties over a frigging soccer game. This is why I don’t like large crowds at any kind of sporting event or concert. I don’t trust mobs of any kind.
Controlling the size of the crown for the venue I would think would be a huge issue for both COVID and fire reasons!
But what the hey, get that ticket revenue!!
The chapter about the incident at Belbury in CS Lewis’s classic sci fi novel That Hideous Strength has perhaps the best literary description of an out of control situation where all the wild animals are turned loose on all the wicked people gathered at the NICE conference and all Hell breaks loose.
They WILL blame racism.
We’ve been here before.
Watch how a rap event in a Black city with no White people in sight becomes a powerful sign of White racism that leads to riots…
“On December 28, 1991, thousands of black rap music fans gathered in Harlem for what promised to be an especially entertaining performance. Some of the biggest names in “hip-hop”—LL Cool J, Heavy D, Run D.M.C., and Bell Biv DeVoe—were to play basketball against each other.
The event was heavily advertised, and soon there were far more fans than the gymnasium could hold. People without tickets decided to rush the doors and crowd into the gymnasium without paying. They started a stampede that bent the metal pole of a streetlight, broke through glass doors, and trampled ticketholders who were waiting to get in. Nine people were crushed to death.[28]
After rescue crews arrived and relieved the press of the crowd, fans stepped over bodies to get close to the rappers, and several robbed corpses. Rap stars who tried to help evacuate some of the dozens of injured were prevented by mobs of autograph-seekers.[29] Five emergency rescue men were also injured when they were attacked by the crowd.[30]
It was, in short, a sorry display of callousness. Journalists, however, could not bring themselves to say so. The Associated Press blamed the horror on “the beast”: “The beast bent a lightpole in front of the gym building; it pestered rappers for photo ops and autographs in the morgue of the gym floor, distracting those who were trying to help the injured; it laughed and joked outside amid the despair; it robbed the dead.” “It” killed nine people.[31]
One white music critic went farther: “It’s no secret that our society teaches minorities to hate themselves. If you are not white, male, straight, middle-class, well-educated or well-off, you are told . . . that you and others like you are disposable. . . . You self-destruct and aid in the destruction of others. You do as you are told. . . . Should it come as any surprise that people trapped like animals in cages are going to rip each other apart out of sheer frustration? Why should they value human life when society judges their lives as meaningless?”[32]
At a memorial service two weeks after the deaths, speakers blamed the tragedy on the police, city officials, the “white establishment,” and “Uncle Tom blacks.” Rev. Lawrence Lucas of the Resurrection Roman Catholic Church called the deaths an “orchestrated disaster” designed to give the police an excuse to attack young blacks and to take power from them. Rev. Timothy Mitchell of the Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church said the deaths were a “painful reminder of the racist, capitalist, individualistic society in which we live.” Thus exhorted, the crowd left the memorial service and promptly tried to storm a building as a protest.”

…in 1991.
…they’ve been at this for a LOOOONG time, and it WORKS, so why would they ever stop…
Good book, BTW. if you read it, it ALL sounds very, VERY familiar, very CURRENT, despite being THIRTY YEARS OLD…
Jared Taylor is a hero in my life.
Anyone attending a rap concert could be counter sued for criminal stupidity.
Silly me. I thought Travis Scott was a country singer.
Travis Tritt, Travis Scott… What’s the difference?…
A lot… apparently.
“Iffen all dem white folks weren’t dere filling up the gaps like Oreo cookie fillin’, den none o’ dem black folks woulda been crushed & shit because there’d be gaps between ’em where dee white folks wuz… knowhatimsayin’?”
Went through that same out of control crowd thing at a Paul McCartney And Wings concert in ’76. Terrifying. That and The Who thing in Ohio was the reason concert promoters did away with ‘Festival Seating’ or every man for himself seating. A run away crowd can be dangerous!!
Your first clue that “Drake” is the type to incite a riot is when everyone in the media sings his praises for being a role model for blacks
I hope there are multiple lawsuits!
Sue the crap outta these Demonic snakes!

“Went through that same out of control crowd thing at a Paul McCartney And Wings concert in ’76.”
Guess I’m just surprised to hear that ANYONE actually WANTED to hear Paul McCartney and Wings, I’m guessing drugs were involved, lots and lots of ’70s Get Me Past the Carter Years drugs…
I didn’t know who Travis Scott was.
I heard Texas and figured “that does not seem like something at a Country Concert that would happen.”
But FUCK NO!
Is a “C”Rap Concert with Fuck Stain From Toronto, COCKSUCKER DRAKE!
Nail everyone involved!
