Who cares how Travis scott is doing/feeling How are the families affected by all this?!

[williamcastillo]

The lawyer for Travis Scott’s defense, is not in view of the camera ; he is purposely obscuring his face and body to keep his motions/behaviors from being exhibited in this video . That alone, speaks volumes .

[MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis]

He loves the chaos. He invites it, revels in it. He tells the crowd to jump, they jump. He tells a kid to jump off a balcony, he jumps off a balcony. He realized a long time ago the power he has over his fans- and this is how he used it. This was inevitable. He has been arrested, warned that he can’t play with people’s lives like that- but he didn’t listen. His actions have consequences. These are the consequences.

[ct]

His attorney really wants everyone to forget they he continued to play for another 40 minutes after a mass casualty event was declared, and that he has a long history of violence, encouraging violence with his fans and encouraging EXACTLY the disaster which occurred last Friday.

And speaking of inconsistent messages... Travis claimed he didn't know about the disaster until the day after. Then when it was revealed he went to party with Drake he said he found out that night and went home. HPD suggests he was told to stop the show early.
And we're supposed to believe that not one single member of his entourage told him what had happened? We're supposed to believe that he left that venue without anyone telling him what had happened? That he didn't see the swarming HPD, HFD and medical teams?

STFU.
He knew, his plastic girlfriend knew. They all f'ing knew.

[Coochiedestroyer]

“People would be rioting if he stopped the show” all he had to do was stop the show and make an announcement of what was going on. So many people TRIED to tell him AND the staff

[insomb]

Don't accept a refund or counseling from them if you're going to sue, that lawyers response to the question was vague and ambivalent.

[mandystone]

Hopefully Travis Scott will never preform again. One less demonic artist unable to brainwash our kids.

[juegofuego]

Even the lawyer doesn't sound convincing when he says Travis is devastated

[MiamiPushtheLimit]

I don’t give af how Travis is doing. I don’t believe he truly cares about the lives that were lost. He’s been living for money fame greed and has been serving demonic forces in order to gain more more MORE.

[bellaklava]

This attorney must not be aware that there are nearly 50, 000 cell phones out here with raw footage of these "facts" he seems to THINK are so elusive.
* if you went, don't accept a refund offer. It removes your right to arbitration. Says it on the ticket. That's WHY this gentleman ASKED that question & you can hear the attorney chuckle like it was no big deal.

[Deb]

His lawyer knows he messed up. He’s pulling straws and projecting empathy onto a man who simply didn’t care until the lawsuits came.

[dopeblacktherapist]

He is "devastated" in his luxurious multi-mil home? What about the people who are devastated at the hospital with wounded and recovering loved ones. Or, the ones planning funerals? Get out of here.

[CraftWon]

Pulling the plug at a show isn’t the only option. This failure occurred on the planning of this festival before any equipment got plugged in. Poor security, no exit planning, over crowded venue, no crowd spotters in the audience… etc.

[cole]

Nooo there wouldn’t have been riots because his fans will listen to him. They’ll do whatever he says. They’ll do the Macarena while taking 3 steps back if he told them to

[glazedconfused]

Travis hasn’t reached out to *any* of the families? Instead, the families can email Travis’s team for assistance. Wow just wow. 😔

[SmileyAdventures]

🥴 He doesn’t understand why there is finger pointing? Acting unfairly? He didn’t see the magnitude? Then his lawyer changed his answer and said he did indeed see the magnitude? He did or he didn’t? It can’t be both. He literally has a track record of this level of behavior over the years. This attorney is 🗑

[shannonmagallon]

Actions speak louder than words. If he is so “devastated” why don’t he personally go to the victims and their families instead of hiding away in his comfy mansion?! And instead of Kylie worrying about losing millions why don’t she post the victims that lost their lives on her business pages and donate all proceeds to the families

[johnedwards]

Travis Scott is a complete jerk - he’s done this before and should have known better - hope he goes broke. Thoughts most importantly with the victims and their families. He doesn’t deserve any thoughts or sympathy.

[ex]

People acting like he was blind and deaf I swear 😂

[MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis]

Travis is really hurting right now?? Hurting, like if his face was stomped into concrete a hundred times? Like as if he was buried alive by a sea of bodies?? Oh wait, no, that was his fans. No, Travis is hiding comfortably in his million dollar mansion, with a team of lawyers on speed-dial, waiting for this to blow over.
Also- if you listen closely, his lawyer says that he couldn’t see what was going on, then says that he in fact COULD see what was going on, and is so nice he tried to get his fans help.
Travis wasn’t blindsighted by this. He is well aware of the rioting and violence that takes place at his concerts- in fact he has encouraged it, welcomed it, reveled in it. He is entertained by it. Even the best lawyer can’t erase his history.
