I meant only Germans would stomp 19 people dead at a love festival.

I try making it subtle all the time, but some guys just make you say it.

this may sound stupid, but who was scheduled to play at this festival?

Aw sh*t...Sorry.
I ruined your Nazi joke by making a Nazi joke that that got ruined by your clarification of your Nazi joke.

This is way more complicated than in the 30's/40's.

I didn't...wait what?

Alright look. It was a joke in poor taste. I tried to lighten the mood. Sorry, everybody.

Also, where did you get "nazi's?" from?

If assumptions mean much, I'm guessing Richie Hawtin, Sven Vath, and a bunch of other people who sound just like that.

the title was worded that way to lighten a serious incident....thanks for noticing

i don't know a lot about this festival but i have a friend....who is a bit more into electronic music and is in Europe who told me thats it's actually quite large and well attended...soooo you would think that a bit more planning would have gone into this....it just looks like these people were forced into such a small area with very little means of escape....personally i get a little freaked out in larger crowds as it is....but to herded into a small space like that.....it looks like shooting a school of fish in a bucket

sad to hear that more have dies over this blatant stupidity....i know when i read this last night it was 19 dead and only 300 injured

Well it's actually called "Love Festival" right? I'm sure they weren't crowding into there for the hugs... but if so, they definitely got them.
(I guess you were being sarcastic, but just in case you weren't.)

Anyway, yea it was definitely a big mistake on part of the organizers and from what I've read, they won't be having it again. At least not in the same place or as the same name. It's just sad that it took something like that for them to suddenly realize the danger... I love stereotyping, so I'll do it now... German engineering is supposed to be best.. you'd think some experienced event planners and organizers would have had some sort of backup plan or safety net considering the large amounts of people the festival drew every time. The festival was not a new thing.
