Now if this turns out to be true there's definitely something wrong out there.

No it’s not. How pathetic.

I’m calling total bs on the injection thing. Short of hitting a vein it takes awhile before anyone would feel it as it was a skin pop.
On another note I and most here have been to many many shows with 60k plus crowds without dancing on ambulance roofs or blocking emergency vehicles.
This garbage is the actions of kids and those that think it’s ok after seeing it all summer 2020.
Which points to the crowds those rap shows attract and the attitude that we hat they do is ok.

Care to be more specific about "the crowds those rap shows attract"?
Then he organizes his own festival and its a fiasco.Quote

The kid incites riots at his shows. He was been busted twice for it. He encourages his fans to crash gates, barriers, flaunt security protocols, etc. take a look at the video. This has been happening at his shows for years. Off that it hasn’t happened already

There was a massive fight in the pit at the Luke Bryan Irvine show last month with injuries and one of the complaints is no one stepped in to do anything! Just keep that in mind if anything goes down at the next Stones show, you are on your own.

How nobody saw it coming?
Looking at the footage its clear that theres waay to many people inside those barricades.
Very sad since this was so unnecessary. The industry has learned from The Who 1979, AC/CD 1991, Pearl Jam Roskilde 2000, Limp Bizkit 2001 Big Day Out.
Well said. I was only once in a scary situation. Iron Maiden in Knebworth 2014 the woman next to me passed out during the first song seconds after a enormouss crowd surge. I spent the whole gig waiting it to be over.Quote

Yeah that was my thought also. There’s been so many of these situations over the years you’d imagine the lessons were learned. Seems like a lack of security or properly trained security. Most gigs I’ve been to in the last 10 years have multiple barriers or points to show your ticket before ever getting to the venue.
The T type crowd barrier that came in a few years ago really helped with the surges. The stones have an ego ramp as do lots of bands and that covers the T. It divides the crowd pressure at the front really well.
Things were hairy in crowds in the 90s. So many times I would move 10 feet in a direction without my feet touching the ground. I remember at a Radiohead gig of all things really being worried a friend was going to die, it took what felt like forever to get to him in the bodies and pull him and others to their feet, there was a broken leg in there among other injuries. He was kind of grey when I got him. Someone did get killed at a Smashing Pumpkins gig I was at, another scary night. Sports events were a serious crush at times back when terraces were still used. Had a few crushes there too. Another scary crowd was Oasis in 1995, they stopped the show a few times, I moved from midway in a crowd of 80,000 to within 10 feet of the stage in 2-3 songs. I don’t remember much really other than trying to stay alive for the first few songs of their set.
I thought events were better policed & had more security now than they did. I thought Pit barriers and GA barriers and the T type barrier at the front a crush like this was a thing of the past. Even “festival” type setups employ a Pit type barrier a third of the way through the crowd.
