I never understand stuff like this. It's not the stewards who create the policy about tickets. And hey, guess what, if you don't have a ticket, chances are, you won't get in!
But what a hard-ass son of a ***** the man with the gun was. Wow, you can shoot somebody who didn't let you into a concert. You're the man now dog!

Idiots.

Ye totally sad just because he dosnt have a ticket he relates to violence and could have killed an innocent guy. I mean you pay for a ticket like everyone else some people just think their above others.

yeah but if you listen to hip hop music then you have to carry a gun. otherwise, how will people know that you're cool enough to listen to hip hop. why is it that every genre of music has this ridiculous image to uphold. the whole thing really bothers me.

You only really get shootings at rap/hip hop events or maybe D&B/jungle places...it's no surprise that it's because it's the degenerates' favourite music

It is actually. If anywhere, you'd expect it to happen in a moody club in Brixton or parts of Bristol (happened not long ago) but not at a stadium tour by a chart topping popster like Kanye where there'll be just as many white teens as gun toting wannabe black gangsters.

Kanye? Never heard of him/her, not my kind of music and I don't follow the popular charts.

Sad to hear about the shooting though, hope they find who was responsible ... must have been plenty of eye witness's?

if you've never heard of him, you cant be sure it's not your type of music. even if you NEVER listen to hip hop, you still might like it. i love this kind of statement. "i never tried that, but i hate it" - uhuh...sure

Oh come on, it's not like it was in the middle of the New Forest, it was in Birmingham, the country's second largest city. How many shootings have you heard about at Busted, Madonna and Britney Spears concerts? They're all "chart toppers" so surely there must be gun men there too?

Che · 2 Mar 2006 at 12:37

And where did I say that white teens don't shoot people?

Good music is good music, regardless of genre, popularity, age, gender, colour, bodily smells.

I didn't know people could get this far up their own ass.

Fine. I'm not disagreeing with that, its just not my kinda music, I do appreciate other people like this stuff though, diversity makes the world go round. I know other people detest the kind of music I like, that's OK by me.

Sigh. Maybe there’s something about this type of music that sparks aggression, as in the gunman .....

Abraham · 2 Mar 2006 at 17:14

my first thought was that he was going in to shoot someone anyway, carrying a gun + no ticket

i think there were a few gun issues at the 50 cent gig here, but i didnt work it so not too sure

it's a bit of a crapper, interested to see what they say about it at work tomorrow, if anything

Hmm not that's a stereotype. Note I said it's the degenerates' favourite music, not the music of degenerates. Loooooads of shootings and violence at Ferry Corsten et al sets
