What has London become. Disgusting behavoir by these hoodlums - do they not watch the news and see how people die in crushes from such lawless hoardes?

just vile

[GoldHeart]

My idea of utter hell .

[arista]

So many did not have Tickets
but still tried to break in.

Police had to be called

Sadly 3 people got crushed badly
they are in hospital.


Good on Asake,
the Singer /Rapper Star
cancelled the show
it was not his fault.

Lawless behaviour, what the hell is wrong with people, you dont have a ticket you cant go....simples

Terrible, you go for a night out and this totally avoidable death has occurred, if only people could think about their actions and its impact on others

[LeatherTrumpet]

it reminds me of that poor bus drive being attacked by an aggressive mob

Asake? Never heard of him. Nor never heard of the genre Afro-beats.

The Africans are responsible for most of the great music sounds of the 20th century originating from the Blues. But Afro-beats Is a new one on me. I think they're just making it up on the spot at this point.

I'm all for giving credit when it's due but I can also smell bull**** when it stinks.

Afro-beats has existed since the 1960s. You might not have heard of it before now but it’s far from a new term.

Completely different context. Asake was actually born-and-bred in Naija (Nigeria). He’d have no hesitation telling people that’s where he’s from so long as the people weren’t obviously biased or trying to sling mud on the name of his country of origin.

The second lady to die was a security guard... poor lass

Its dreadful and like you said Cherie it was totally unavoidable. All of those trying to bust in for free are guilty of these deaths.
