    I posted about it on my Instagram story and some jackass from Dallas replied "Dang man, two big L's in Houston in one week wow."

    Dallas has so much material to roast, let's see....

    Absolutely nothing wrong with a 55yo lady with a Dallas Cowboys logo tramp stamp, sir.

    Pausing the concert would not have caused a riot.

    I've seen it at large metal concerts/festivals, it's possible to still control a large crowd as long as the person on the stage is the one telling the crowd what to do. Ie "get out of the way, let the medics do their job, and we won't start up again until we get them proper help" etc etc. - as soon as any crowd hears that from whoever is leading on stage it's like suddenly everyone is working together and stops their stupid **** so the show can go on.

    A couple of weeks ago the playboi concert at nrg was cancelled because the fans were acting the exact same way as the Travis Scott fans/kids breaking down gates and metal detectors etc, I think it was the only stop on the tour that had to be cancelled like that.

    Seems like the fans here seem to be more chaotic because Travis Scott is from here and that makes them go more wild Idk. And maybe that’s why you don’t get this type of tragedy at other huge festivals, definitely was understaffed though and poorly organized. but In retrospect it should have been cancelled as soon as they lost capacity control

    This ahole I know from Dallas told me this would never happen at Posty Fest, and unfortunately he's probably right

    Zoomers are the weirdest generation out there. They have grown up being told the world was gonna end soon, and you see it in some of their behavior. They just dont care about ****

    Okay thanks for the full video. yeah I've seen him live at festivals before and was hoping he would at least ask for help.

    I don't get the appeal of a music show where you're this far away from the artists. Going to small metal shows has got me spoiled.
