[@maureensullivan8898]

TS didn't want safety. The design of his set was demonic. He has said that he's all about the blood and he told those in attendance that he was taking them to hell. Satan has a firm grip on him.

[@shellyveley9515]

Travis sent out a tweet as soon as all the tickets were sold saying he wanted people to break in and that he wanted to make sure the "wild ones" get in and that it was "on him" , the concert should have been cancelled right then and NOT rescheduled because he clearly didn't learn a damn thing from the previous times he has been charged and arrested and jailed for causing stampedes and riots or from previous fans getting hurt or from previous/pending lawsuits .

That is very untrue as there is no evidence of this tweet to date and the problem in this situations wasnt at all his fans but instead the deorganisation of the other event that went on (SZA) and all of the 50000 fans there rushing in from the side. 3 of the other quadrants were fine but all of the SZA fans overfilled the South Quadrant. In my opinion most of those high were treated on scene and he would never encourage this behaviour. During the show he stopped it three times to check on fans and make sure they were ok...

I still have PTSD from last summer when I was on a camping trip and one of my friends died in his tent, we pulled him out and he wasn’t breathing, he was totally blue and lifeless. We brought him back to life by performing CPR on him for 45 minutes until paramedics could arrive. He’s alive now somehow but… Sometimes I have intrusive thoughts and remember what he looked like dead, how it felt to perform CPR on a lifeless body… and sometimes my intrusive thoughts make me imagine other people I love in that way. It’s terrible. I feel for everyone who was traumatized by the horrors they saw and experienced at Astroworld.

Absolutely. Everybody processes trauma differently in their own time. Some people smile as a nervous reaction. The victims are very courageous to try & articulate their traumatic experiences in front of the whole world. The concert is only the beginning of their nightmare. They have years of litigation & therapy ahead to try & recover to their now “new normal “ life & it’s very daunting. I feel for all of them, their friends & family who will be their support network who’s live are changed “forever “.

[@KLove-ul7jg]

I think he has a very sweet nature about him and shy that’s why he seems to be friendly in his face at the start of the interview- but when questioned about the actual surge itself his whole facial expression changes.. he becomes more Distressed and in deep thought reliving the moment …ptsd post traumatic distress, the mind tends to block out traumatic events the body holds the experience and at a later time this can cause a world of problems like depression and suicidal thoughts and guilt for not being able to stop what was happening to them - his experience should not be dismissed as non genuine, people tend to act as everything is okay after being a victim in an uncontrollable situation as a copping mechanism it’s our first line of defense as a human - God bless him I pray that he is able to regain sense of control being in a near death experience. Prayers going out to the one who’s lives were taken and the survivors from this horrific event… I could never imagine going to an event that was premeditated to cause injury and harm and exploit human life for a personal agenda and financial gain.

[@maureensullivan8898]

Agreed. It was definitely premeditated, as can be seen from the demonic set. TS was probably hoping for more deaths. Despicable.

[@OliviaNile]

Agreed. He seems very genuine and beneath the surface I think this man is very perturbed by what he witnessed and experienced that night. His face tells a story of that grief. I think he’s struggling trying to reconcile the guilt that is multilayered. The guilt of surviving. The guilt of not being able to get over to and help those who were down because the compression wouldn’t even afford you the ability to move your arms up or down. The guilt from trying to reconcile the mental anguish of feeling like you can’t be a victim bc you’re still living and breathing, yet the realization that people around you died atrocious deaths, their bodies laying underfoot of potentially you and the rest of the surviving audience. I imagine the mental conflict of trying to reconcile all these factors will be haunting for many of those who made it out. I hope he finds peace and doesn’t try to discount his experience and/or PTSD simply because many had it far far worse.

I really would love to pray with this man. He needs support and encouragement. God lay your huge hands on this soul and guide him straight to You! What the enemy has tried to use for evil YOU will turn around for GOOD! Thank you Yeshua. Our Savior. Our Redemption. Be grateful that we have such a humble Lord. Turn to the God, it’s not to late. Jesus has paid the price for anything you’ve done in your past. He just wants you to love yourself the way He does. That’s what you call FAMILY! Come the Jesus ALL who are weary, all who are weak... do not be deceived and stop worshipping the creation when the creator deserves all the GLORY, GLORY TO THE LORD ALMIGHTY 🤍🙏🏼🤍

That's not Travis Scott's fault, that's the ticket holders fault selling so many tickets and or the Colosseum who held the event who knows how much persons are legally allowed in a particular space for hazards like this

[@pita3908]

Good on you for speaking out, this concert has traumatized a lot off ppl, along with llong injuries, and emotional scars. This guy is very traumatized.

[@karenjohnson6940]

Thank you and God Bless you. 🙏🏼

[@pixiemermaid]

How many times did he say "you know" ??

[@cool3929]

You have never been through anything traumatic. Don't even attempt to say you have because you would be a liar. Don't be that person. Smh. Despicable.

They were playing fear frequency for 7 hours look it up

[@La_to_the_Bay]

He smiles with his ptsd 🤔. Looks like he was glad to be there to me.

[@masteroftheuniverse7930]

I think that sum of the people in the crowd should face charges not just travis

[@birdielee6718]

Oh yes he's been coached. He mentioned a few key words in a certain order that lets me know his lawyer told him to say it that way...

People have no idea what's under their feet. Ask any landscaper or groundskeeper, or public spaces designer.

So two years or so later, what happened to these people? Did TS pay up? Did these people get closure ?

Yaoundé, spread over 7 hills, is the capital city of Cameroon. It is in the southern part of the country. The 20th-century Notre Dame des Victoires cathedral has a striking triangular roof. Nearby, in the Lake Quarter, the former presidential palace is home to the National Museum, with cultural

At this point everyone at the concert is droping a case to get money or something? This guy just doesnt seem to be traumatized or injured at all.

[@AngelsBlissLove]

Seriously feel for everyone effected by this tragedy, and I Seriously hope everyone that arrange a festival or anything like this remember to take security serous and make sure the team taking care of everyone attending the event stay safe no matter the situation and do the homework on what thay can expect from the fans and so on of the one that is preforming. Travis Scott is a well known artist so it should not be to difficult to get a good enough system to get everyone safe through a concert. Travis tried to do something about it at least 3 times but he can't do anything about it as a single person if the security is not good enough.. he even told the security to step it up but they didn't have the people to do it.. We all have been at a concert some time in life and we all know this is the most important thing to have in order before you have a gathering of people.. and if you don't have it the event is always cancelled.. You all have my deepest sympathy and I really hope that this never ever happens again 🙏 😔 ❤

[@diamondsparkle9967]

Why does he sound like he's trying to remember whatever they told him to say.

[@Wild_flower_415]

Because he is speaking publically in front of a camera, he probably prepared what he was going to say, as most people would.

[@mrtomas0990]

@@Wild_flower_415 and he's thick Elena. You forgot to mention

The dreamcatcher may also include sacred items such as certain feathers or beads

[@Dukilein1984]

I really wonder where the 1 Million Videos must be from that festival. All I see are a handful or a dozen videos here on YT and that is it. I am not sure about that whole thing, I mean there should be a lot of recordings showing all the incidents. There were only 2 Videos I think, that showed people actually lying on the floor but maybe the recordings are on tiktok. Still pretty strange to me

[@phillipbielefeld]

Sue!!, Travis Scott!!,Astro World, and everyone that put on the Show!

I’m sorry, but that lawyer looks like a Ken doll with that shiny hair. The ones with the plastic heads. I’m glad Ken is there lawyer though.
