The UK Daily Mail has another story that several were “spiked”, but I’m not linking a foreign rag.

Sad state of society.    :'(

I'm seeing reports of children as young as ten being injured, a 14 year old died.   
I honestly don't understand how or why any parent would let their child go to such an event but, I'm old school and hold myself responsible for my own children's safety.   Yeah, I ticked off my kids when they were young a few times but, they never had such an experience.

Now LEOs are investigating reports of folks being injected with drugs randomly.   One security guard was injected in the neck and medics were able to save him.   Thanks but, no thanks.

I have a lifetime of avoiding large crowds anywhere for any reason. (after my teens and 20+ or so concerts)

At 21 or so, I was run over (and stepped on) by a horse cop involved in crowd control in Detroit.  Fortunately, from the ground, he could not reach me from horseback with his billy club.  I did nothing but walk peacefully all day.  I tried to run away, but just ran into the backs of people in the crowd who were also trying to run away.  And a bunch of us got run over.  It was disconcerting.

There is no entertainment (of any kind) that makes me want to be in a big crowd.  I'll watch the video.

Inzane is about my max crowd tolerance, and those people are too old and slow to cause much trouble.

While, I'll personally admit to this, some of the "Staff" may not take that comment kindly.

  Live in Houston the permit should never have been granted. The place is just one big open field on what was once Astroworld an amusement park.  These rap crowds are unruly and violent our county commissioner is 30 years old from Peru who wasnt an American citizen until about six years ago she is responsible she doesnt know what shes doing we had a great county commisioner but she was voted in on a straight democrat ticket .  Somehow Im sure she will avoid being blamed for this. She is the most powerful person in Harris county sadly all the large cities in Texas are ruled by liberal democrats and the state is going to be a liberal stronghold in less than 10 years. Once Texas falls its over in America for a conservative Republican President this may upset some but that is the way it is.

As far as being "too Old ...to cause much trouble"

I will refute that with exhibit A

I could attend one of his rallies; there's only like 12 people at them.   

But they probably wouldn't let me bring in my bag of tomatoes.   So that's out.

In my Bible Class tonight it was said that the performer rapper Travis Scott is a known Satanist.   I couldnt believe it so after class I went online and found this….

That’s show biz . Similar stuff was crafted about Gene Simmons from KISS in the ‘70’s as welll as Ozzy. It’s all a show, the crazier it is, the more people want to attend.
