Young loving punk rear end kids, literally trampling people to death to see a concert without having to pay for it, or steal merch.

I'm officially an old fogey now.

Because they wanted the build back better social bill to pass first, or in tandem with infrastructure. Now the leverage for the BBB social bill is pretty much gone.

Yup, it's this.

Unless you're a moron in which case you think it's for twitter points or some stupid thing

oh yeah, progressives totally caved, Manchin and Sinema can kill the social bill now as the House has no leverage. progressives always said they'd wait for agreement and passage of the social bill before they passed the infra bill. the only ones who voted "no" were trying to preserve their twitter rep after it was clear the bill would pass by the vote count

Surprised myself that my first thought after watching the security get overrun and then the barrier get overrun wasn't "these dumb loving kids" but that security theater has gotten so loving ridiculous and omnipresent that I kinda understand people thinking that its all just some bullshit to jump over.

You know, that concert shitshow would've actually been a legitimate case for police using all their riot gear... unlike using it on innocent peaceful BLM protesters last year.

Dying in a crowd crush is probably my least preferred way to die and one of the reasons why I tend to stick to the sides of concerts (remember those lol) when I see bands play. Crowds in general just make me nervous; it only takes one idiot to plant the seeds of panic.

you realize that 'the squad' only voted no because they knew the bill would pass? it was not meaningful at all. progressives as a whole totally caved and backed the vote. Pressley changed her vote from 'yes' to 'no' mid vote:

Below are descriptions from medics at the concert.

quote:

I just left astroworld festival and let me say this. as someone who has been to every astro fest there's been, this was completely different. it was awful. I passed out because people were pushing up against me so much that I couldn't breathe. Sam got people to apparently crowd surf my unconscious body to the security guard and I gotcarried to a little section behind GA and put down on a stool thing. when I woke up I had a water bottle in my lap and had no clue what had happened. When I stood up I looked around and people were getting carried out with eyes rolled back into their heads by security, bleeding from their nose and mouth. I yelled “has ANYBODY checked a pulse?” the security guard, frantic, asked me to please help him. I checked two people and one did not have a pulse. I told them I was an ICU nurse and then another security guard, hearing that, said “please come help us.” He takes me to the part of the crowd behind GA where I see 3 bodies sprawled out and people who I assume were medics/medical staff doing CPR.I immediately see that there is not enough medics for this so I relieve one medic of CPR. I ask where the ambu bag is, where the AED is, where the stretcher and ambulance is, where tf any poo poo is and they said essentially there is none. there’s one ambu bag, one stretcher and one AED for 3 - now 4 - people who are pulseless and blue. People from the crowd were trying to help. teenagers are doing CPR trying to help but they're doing it incorrectly, then I see there's other people doing CPR on people who still have a pulse bc nobody has done a pulse check. it was an absolute poo poo show. I lost Sam for I don't even know how long but for the remainder of the concert I was doing compressions, bagging and helping move people to stretchers and checking pulses on new bodies as they got crowd-surfed to where we were. people were trampled, crushed. there was no cell service to call for more help. People were begging the crew operating the stage lights and stuff around us to stop the concert and they wouldn't. I am so disappointed and sad. Finally cops showed up with more stretchers and started getting people out but I know at least 2 individuals had been pulseless for 15 minutes minimum before they got on a stretcher.

quote:

I’m a trained medic. I was doing cpr on a girl as drake came was coming on with Travis. Two “medical staff” came over to help. They were like deer in headlights. They had no fuckin clue what they were doing. One of them straight up left; The other “medic” was screaming if anyone else knew CPR. The two that came over had no ambu bag, no gloves, no AED, nothing. I had the girls friend do mouth to mouth while the dumbass medic was just standing there. I’m yelling for an AED, even a drat CPR pocket mask. They eventually get a backboard And start to put her on backwards (feet at the narrow end). I call the guy an idiot and flip it over. Finally we get her on a backboard, cops come over and rip me off her. They pick the backboard up only to drop her on her face. I was so incredibly mad. I watched a girl die in front of me all because these “medics” were so ill prepared. I’d encourage anyone here to open lawsuits against this Cactus Jack/ astroworld bullshit. So sad.

I have always hated crowds.
Persons are fine- people are stupid. They are panicky animals.

This only got worse after seeing protests become riots where people decided grenades were the same as beach balls.


I am so just loving angry and sad at that bullshit. It's not an unknown thing in these situations. People are dead because humans are so loving callous.

This really but a poo poo carpet on my day. I'm going to take a nap with my dog, Detective Tubbs Lumpkins, MD. He's got a head start. (Related to the good Dogtor- does anyone else have an bulldog that is a cuddlebug attached at their hip? Dunno if it's breed, or just this lump)
