Video Of Astroworld Attendees Dancing And Jumping On Top Of Emergency Vehicles Sparks Outrage

Concertgoers at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival, who were unaware of the chaos unfolding in the mosh pit near the stage, were seen dancing on top of medical vehicles that were trying to help unconscious audience members.

Eight people died at Friday's opening night performance in Houston. Dozens more were injured as a massive stampede of the panic-fueled crowd surged towards the stage and crushed people during the rapper's live-streamed show.


Videos of the fans, who were oblivious to the tragedy and used the emergency vehicles as a rolling stage, went viral online.

A journalist, Chaudhary Parvez, posted a video of Scott fans dancing on top of an ambulance.


Another Twitter user, @lacoyotee, identified one of the dancing fans as Instagram user @itzlune_—whose account was either removed or temporarily deactivated.

The Twitter user managed to get screengrabs before the account for @itzlune_ went inactive.

@lacoyotee tweeted:

"This is the guy who was on top of the medic cart at astroworld. No remorse for the fact that he stopped someone from receiving medical attention by doing what he did."

The account also posted a screengrab in which @itzlune_ minimized the tragedy at the concert and attributed the backlash to "cancel culture."

"Cancel culture at it again. This is how I know the crowd was full of baby butt soft ass people," @itzlune_ wrote.

"We rage forreal, i'm sorry you guys wanna have a sad day about it. Its tragic what happened, but dont blame me, i just come to have fun and that i did."

When the Daily Dot reached out to Houston Police for a comment on whether or not @itzlune_'s actions prevented anyone who was injured at the concert from getting proper medical attention, the media outlet was told the department was not engaging in one-on-one interviews.

However, the department took to Twitter and noted the investigation was "very active" and "in its early stages."


The HPD added the department had "no additional information to release at this time" and that they would be posting updates on social media.

"Our prayers remain with the families affected by this tragic event," they continued.

"Our HPD Victims Services advocates remain available to speak with anyone seeking information on loved ones at the family reunification center at 8686 Kirby Drive."

Travis Scott also took to Twitter and expressed his condolences in a statement, saying in part:

"Houston PD has my support as they continue to look into the tragic loss of life."

Concertgoer Billy Nasser recounted the horrific event and told CNN what he witnessed in the crowd.

"They passed out. And they were on the ground and basically getting trampled. And no one would pick them up."
"There was just too many people there. It was overcrowded. The way the barricades were set up had people trapped in. It was a death trap."

By Monday evening, approximately 18 lawsuits relating to the Astroworld event were filed in Harris County District Court in Texas.

A representative for the rapper said in a statement the singer will cover the funeral costs of those who tragically died at the event.

The statement read, in part:

"Travis remains in active conversations with the city of Houston, law enforcement and local first responders to respectfully and appropriately connect with the individuals and families of those involved."
"These are the first of many steps Travis plans on taking as a part of his personal vow to assist those affected throughout their grieving and recovery process."

It's the holidays again, which of course means the yearly tradition of Christians having a meltdown about supposedly being persecuted by the existence of non-Jesusy Christmas stuff is back with a vengeance.

But the latest flap online is really a doozy in its audacity both because it's incredibly dumb and also a lie, obviously posted as a purposeful attempt to get attention.

Massachusetts Catholic Church Angers Conservatives With Its Brutal ICE-Themed Nativity Scene

The Christian Bible teaches that the Holy Family—Joseph, Mary, and Jesus—were residents of the Herodian ruled Nazareth, Galilee. Having traveled back to Joseph's ancestral home—Roman ruled Bethlehem, Judea—for the census, Mary and Joseph, in modern American parlance, would have been homeless immigrants/tourists having an "anchor baby" at the time of Jesus' birth.

While Joseph considered Galilee his immediate family's home, the trio would eventually flee to Egypt as refugees to escape from King Herod.

Trump Ripped After Forcing National Parks To Drop Free Entry On MLK Day And Juneteenth For Infuriating Reason

President Donald Trump was criticized after the National Park Service announced it will be dropping Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth for next year's calendar of free-entry days and adding Trump's birthday, which happens to fall on Flag Day, on June 14.

Last month, the Department of the Interior unveiled changes to what it now calls its “resident-only patriotic fee-free days,” expanding the calendar to include new dates like the Fourth of July weekend and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, while dropping others that had honored the department itself, including the Bureau of Land Management’s anniversary.

For years, MTG was best known as the QAnon conspiracy theory-spewing, State of the Union heckling, crossfit hyping, Trump ride-or-dying, anti-LGBTQ+ racist MAGA minion from Georgia.
