I bet if I really tried I could buy an ilegal firearm....I think they go about things the wrong way
I hear that. Not too long ago some guy that I use to go to grade school with got shot seven times, when he was selling a gun to some other guy. I don't know what they were arguing about, but the guy who he was selling it to took the gun and shot him, then put him in his car and left him on the highway all shot up. He survived thank God, but knowing how he is he is probably going to be back on the streets selling these things agian, but yeah it's like you said it's easy to find those things, and it's a real shame.

I am saying that if you are going to film the audience at concerts then film the audience at ALL concerts not just rap concerts. That is what I am saying!! I don't think it's fair to only criminalize one particular audience. You saw what Daeveed wrote SHIT can go down at a Rock concert too.....that is my point!!
Oh and to answer your question yes I like to smoke weed at concerts and that is ilegal but many people to and that doesn't hurt anyone

They never caught the guy. Funny thing is the only decription they had was "Male, Black, wearing a throwback jersey and a hat" Almost 95% of every black male that was there fit the description.
I was there two for the 50 cent/Jay z concert. The shooting happened just a few feet from where me and my girlfriend were. Everyone believed it was fireworks at first until it turned into a stampede of people just running.Couldn't leave the parking lot for like 2 hours.
DID THEY CATCH THE GUY?
WITHOUT CAMERAS I'M SURE IT MADE THE PROCESS LONGER, GIVING THE HOODLUM TIME TO ESCAPE.......THAT'S IF THEY CAUGHT HIM....

It's like if no concert audience was ever filmed...NEVER EVER NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER all of a sudden Daddy Yankee comes into town and the cops decide to film the audience just in case there are gansters in it or in case something goes down...........
TAKING PRECAUTIONS.....
AS WELL...THE FOOTAGE CAN BE USEFUL FOR DOCUMENTARIES
IF PEOPLE LOOKED AT THE POSITIVE AS IMMEDIATE AS THEY LOOK AT THE NEGATIVE SIDE....THEY WOULD NOT SEE IT AS "RACIST" BUT AS "SAFETY".......
THEY SHOULD JUST CONCENTRATE ON THE CONCERT AND BE GRATEFUL THEY ARE "SAFELY" TAKEN CARE OF....

Wow! Thats super for fitty!Extra publicity and media coverage which means a hell of a lot more Ka-Ching in his pocket.This is a perfect example of the sensationalizm of the media, and just how exagerated news becomes. Fiffy is just like any other rapper, he raps about guns, shooting people, not giving a ****aroo, hating the po-po's, doing biatches, loving the mary jane all sorts of issues which are important and vital in a rap stars daily life. Fitty hasnt done anything different than other rappers before him, but due to the power of the media, he has become larger than life. He has become some hardcore gangbanger that he is a threat to our oh so wholesome and virtuous society.PPPPFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! Niggah please! Fitty's just some next run of the mill garden variety rapper.... no need to give him credit for something he's not... or make him out to be hardcore when really he's not.
DID YOU JUST CALL CINCUENTA CENTAVOS A "FIFFY"?
LOL (reading between the lines girl) LOL

They need security at concerts no doubt, but they went overboard with this concert. Filming the crowd is a great idea. However I'm sure there were more cops on duty than there should have been. Where are the cops in areas that really need them? There are tons of areas that are obvious gang territories or drug hot spots.Chris Rock said it best "Cops can't find drugs or drug dealers, but that snotty 16 year old high school student can find it during his lunch break"
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true!!!!! I bet if I really tried I could buy an ilegal firearm....I think they go about things the wrong way

Well, last year at a DamagePlan concert (DamagePlan was Pantera's ex-guitarrist Dimebag Darrell's band) the band came up on stage, and during the first song this 25 year old ex-soldier came on stage with a gun and shot Dimebag 4 times in the face as his brother on the drums watched him die. No security measures had been set at the entrance. I am a huge fan of Dimebag Darrell, and I even saw him live with Pantera twice back home. He was a great guy, very humble and happy. I don't think security measures are too much, if you want to really go watch the artist, then you wouldn't care to much. I think the risk of losing an artist like that overpowers the need for strict security at the door.
Okay great point Daeveed but they do not film the audience at Rock concerts here or anywhere for that matter...that is kind of my point...
A man died at that concert and a man was shot at a 50 cent concert so why only film the concert goers at the rap concert?

It was a Waste.... Tax Payer Dollars wasted on 50 cents concert, I think they should make the same efforts to pursue another Issues not for 50 Cents.... that was the perfect Free Media advertising for him...
