bsu_alum9 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Crowds of people can be terrifying. https://theconversation.com/ten-tips-for-surviving-a-crowd-crush-112169 Also not a good idea to ever block passageways, but sounds like they may have been keeping it blocked off because of the slippery steps? Quote I walk down the ramp from the top of the slope where the crowd swelled. It is made of metal, with no steps, and eyewitness say it was wet and slippery. Then the narrow passageway turns hard to the right and there are steep steps. One man points down them. "The police, they put barriers there!" he says, anger rising in his voice. People say they could not get out as the crowd at the top, unaware, carried on coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular post (and others, especially relating to faith) are just beyond tactless. UNLV2001...hang em up. Not like you do any moderating anyways.

BSUTOP25 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 @#1Stunner- you’re absolutely right. Interesting that we don’t see the following people pushing back on USSR2001’s disgusting remarks about 45 people getting crushed to death: @happycamper, @renoskier, @tspoke, @SJSUMFA2013, @Maji, @IanforHeisman, @retrofade, @AztecSU, @NVGiant, @sactowndog, @NevadaFan, @Nevada6077, @818SUDSFan, @youngredbullfan, @Lester_in_reno, @Billings, @Akkula, @son of a gun But we all know why that is. Yeah, teams and shit. Derby nominations are right around the corner. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of a gun Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Getting tagged for a thread I hadn't even read yet is a little... yeah. Anyway, as a practicing Catholic, yeah. I don't care for UNLV2001's attitude on this. Still, I don't want to hear, about teams and shit from one of the board's biggest libertarian snob.

So I haven't exactly had the time to read and/or respond to every single comment in every single thread. JFC, do you really have to be this much of a dickwad? This isn't teams and shit, this is a libertarian acting like a self-righteous asshole to make it sound like everyone that doesn't agree with his politics are in the wrong. Jesus Christ, dude. Now I'm going to have to go figure out just where the +++++ this comment even is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrofade Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Looks like it's in this thread. Nah, that's a pretty +++++ed up statement to make in the wake of a tragedy like this. I'm not a practicing member of any religious group and loathe organized religion, but to mock people who died while practicing their beliefs is pretty +++++ed, and I'd think he'd be better than that.

Yeah, I realized that when I scrolled up to see what this thread even was. Weren't you the one giving people shit about "slut shaming" for not getting vaccinated? Or was that someone else. You're calling people out for not responding to something they hadn't even read. +++++ off with your self-righteous libertarian bullshit. Shit, this isn't even "teams and shit", this is about religion and an inept policing force. Are you now claiming that commenting on religion is "teams and shit" or is it that people not condemning someone else because of politics? You should know better by now that I, OF ALL +++++ING PEOPLE, don't have a single issue calling anyone out regardless of their politics. So again, +++++ off with that shit.

So from now until the derby, this will be my tactic for when your team posts something like the above: @happycamper, @renoskier, @tspoke, @SJSUMFA2013, @Maji, @IanforHeisman, @retrofade, @AztecSU, @NVGiant, @sactowndog, @NevadaFan, @Nevada6077, @818SUDSFan, @youngredbullfan, @Lester_in_reno, @Billings, @Akkula, @son of a gun, @UNLV2001!!!!!
