[QUOTE="PolishCalifornian, post: 1541679, member: 3430"] I used to attend concerts in my late teens, Deftones, Korn, Limp Bizkit, festivals, etc. The only one I felt unsafe in was the Slipknot mosh pit but I wanted to be able to say I was in it. Besides the occasional nut who obviously wanted to hurt people and usually got knocked in line sooner or later, there was always a certain camaraderie and looking out for other people, even strangers. If you fell, you'd get picked up, if a girl felt unsafe she'd was protected and moved to a safer place, etc. Part of it probably was that the crowds were still mostly white and the alternative and rock music of the late 90s and early 2000s wasn't angry and vicious like a lot of what passes for pop music today. The obvious demonic stuff aside, look at the third-world, multi-culti demographics of this show, from the vids it looks like mostly blacks and mexicans with a white minority. Look at the animalistic behavior in crashing the gates to get inside or closer to the stage for free. This was probably as low-trust, immature and frankly feral a crowd that you could put together anywhere in the US. A 9-year-old is in a coma after being knocked from his dad's shoulders and crushed. Who brings a little kid to a demonic rap concert?! I think this is just a more spectacular example of America's continued decline into something resembling South America and Africa, but with better infrastructure, higher-end smartphones and Amazon Prime.
