Ok, to be fair, it was a concert featuring Hanson and Drake, so there were probably a few more people there to see Drake, but still, Hanson fans had to contribute at least a little bit. I know I’d get scrappy to have the chance to touch Taylor Hanson.
The concert was a free, outdoor deal in New York, and the trouble started when the venue attracted about 10,000 more people than expected. Tension increased when fans started realizing that Drake wouldn’t start playing for a while (they’d have to sit through the opening band and then Hanson before Drake would start his set), and things quickly got out of control from there. Fans were starting fights and breaking equipment, and audience members on the second floor started throwing things like metal chairs on the audience below. Just a few minutes into the first band’s set, the venue management and the NYPD decided to cancel the concert. Police went into the crowd with mace and helicopters flew overhead to break up the crowd. When everything was over, seven people were treated for minor injuries and two people were arrested: one for bottle-throwing, the other for obstruction.
I think the best part of all of this is the group of sheltered women in their early twenties, huddled together in their Hanson t-shirts, quietly sobbing over their crushed dreams and trying to summon hope and strength by singing “I Will Come to You.” Not that this was reported or anything, but come on, it’s a Hanson concert in 2010.
okay, seriously, how awesome is it (for me) that this is the second Hanson post in the last month. And its 2010. Go effing figure!!
That wasn't about Hanson you ill informed nitwit, that riot was about DRAKE.
Take a looksie at the footage of the people fist fighting and throwing metal chairs and tables into the crowds. That wasn't for some “Mm Bop”.
She made that pretty clear at the beginning of her post, ass clown. The whole story is funnier because of the part about it being a Hanson show in addition to Drake playing. It wouldn't have even been a post if this hadn't been the case because no one would be surprised about a riot at a Drake show. Get a clue.
Humanity as a whole was probably angered at a second wave of Hanson being allowed to perform AGAIN thus, appropriate/[Mmmm?] reasonable action was taken accordingly. THIS-WAS-ALSO-POSTED-IN-AN-EFFORT-TO-MAKE PEOPLE-LAUGH, Brooklyngirl2007. please learn to read or AT LEAST fashion a sense of humor before posting something so annoying and aloof; you just come across as a Justin Bieber tramp-stamping tattoo proponent otherwise.
