50,000 there

Day 2 Cancelled by Police.



Rapper Travis

[8 people have died and scores of people
have been hurt after a crowd surge on
the opening night of a music festival in Houston, Texas.

Panic broke out after the crowd began
to press towards the front of the
stage at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival,
emergency officials said.

Eleven people were taken to hospitals
in cardiac arrest and eight died.
Some 300 people were treated for injuries
such as cuts and bruises at the event,
attended by 50,000 people.

Local politician Lina Hidalgo, county judge
of Harris County, described what had
happened as an "extremely tragic night".

"Our hearts are broken," she said. "People go
to these events looking for a good time,
a chance to unwind, to make memories - it's not
the kind of event you go to where you
expect to find out about fatalities."]

obviously wasn't sufficient safety/crowd control in place. Get the organisers in court

In this day and age that a 50,000 crowd could surge forward like that is inexplicable

It's always good to know the character of the person at his concerts when you're looking to find out what went on. I can show you videos of him being an uncaring arsehole from last night if you like?

Travis himself did not cause this
he is very sorry for those that died.



The Police are not after him.

Needle assaults seem to be becoming much more common, scarily enough.

Any clues what's happening here? I don't know.

Yes! We need some people with the knowledge to explain this, it all looks very dodgy.

There's gonna be an investigation to this story, but you believe that you already have the facts. Where as I am putting things out there so that we can do our own investigations.

Why would I trust anything the media says when they have a past of being untruthful and have been proven to cover up child grooming and rape. They're not my kind of people.

To slow, the modern day journalists are the people with phones. They're there to catch the action live on video as it happens, and they can post it to the World instantly.

As "The Jam" once said "This is the modern World"

Out of context and sometimes completely falsely though… you can’t trust a social media narrative any more than a mainstream press narrative. You have to piece together the truth from various sources and what seems realistic/logical.

Remember at the start of Covid when Social Media was full of videos of people “collapsing in the street” in Wuhan… which were found to be from years earlier and of random things like people having heart attacks.

Easy to show something out of context with a sentence saying “This is what you’re seeing here…” and have gullible people buy into it.

Social media videos are the worst for twisting a narrative as they can be edited to show whatever the poster wants with zero accountability
