Beat you to it. But it's still fucked up, none the less.

He got an A though so he must have sources.

To be fair, I can't believe the news stories from those sites.

FEATURE

He Helped Build an Artists’ Utopia. Now He Faces Trial for 36 Deaths There.
Max Harris did chores and collected rent at the artists’ warehouse where he lived. Now he faces trial for the deaths at a concert there — including some of his close friends.
This is a long read but imo really interesting.

In my twenties I spent a fair amount of time in punk spaces and we never thought twice about fire safety. Band practice spaces turned into makeshift live venues.

When you go into an underground setting or “club” isn’t it understood that there’s an element of danger? That you’re shedding some of the sheltering and safety of suburbia for something more wild and free? I feel like everyone who went to that show was looking for something wild and authentic. Danger is part of the attraction. I don’t think anyone should be punished for their deaths because they knew the place was an underground art collective space in Oakland and if you mess with bull sometimes you get the horns. If they wanted an experience that was up to code they should’ve gone to Olive Garden.

Secondly, and this a totally non sequitur observation, but does the art jock alpha personalities of the people who live in these collectives bother anyone? They don’t seem equalitarian and alternative; they seem like competitive fashion bitches simply doing the society thing on a different scale. Maybe that’s an unavoidable byproduct of how high the rent has risen in the big cities.

No, you ignore them because:

- You don't like me.

- I don't stoke your ego, like half of the forum regulars do.

- You are jealous that you aren't as tuned in to the news cycle as I am.



I'm not stupid. I am well aware of the slant of specific media outlets. But if a person aims to be well informed, they have the responsibility to filter out biases and to be coherent enough to distinguish between fact and fiction.

Stop killing the messenger. If you see a headline that piques your interest, do an internet search on the topic and find a source that you find reliable. In this day and age, it's extremely disappointing that you people choose to act so childish.
