From Twitter it’s already clear the angles they’re taking:

  1. “Most deaths caused by laced drugs, kids taking drugs = it’s their own fault.”

  2. “Trampling/stampede deaths caused by too many people in the stadium. Too many people in the stadium because of people who broke into the stadium earlier in the day, characterized as “animals”, “removed”, “youths of today”, etc.”

Edit: People did break into the stadium earlier today. It’s happened at both this, and many other concerts, in the past, without deaths. It should be accounted for by the planners and is not an excuse for their absolute failure.

At the moment they’re defending Travis Scott and the event organizers. Expect this to change when they find a vaguely anti-fascist tweet Travis Scott made 7 years ago.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
