Support Of Violence

hello George here I wanted to write an article on the support of violence in our society.

The reason why I am doing this is because I recently attended a concert for In Flames which is a heavy metal band out of the states I do believe they are Swedish, but that's beside the point. In this concert were three bands, 36 crazy fist, Gyro, and In Flames. In the first bands (36 crazy fists) performance the lead singer pointed to the sign informing the audience that there is to be no mosh pitting or crowd surfing, he then told the people that the signs meant nothing and that it was okay to mosh pit, for those how do not know what moshing is, it is simply a violent act in which people who are attending the concert are to beat each up by throwing them, punching and using the elbow as a weapon don't ask how it is fun for I myself have the same question. The lead singer told allt eh people in the concert to make a large gap in the middle of the field and then said "Don't disappoint me turn this place into a bloody battlefield." and thus began the moshing I tried my hardest to get away from the people that were taking part in the act but to no avial I was pushing into the middle of the moshing and hit repeatly in the chest and kidney area and once to the head. I fought only to get away from the people, and finally fought my way out of the mosh pit. I am okay for those who are wondering, only a little pain in the chest I'm a Timmis after all we can take some hits :).

The second band Gyro told the security to "lightin up" on the crowd they are just enjoying the music in thier own way. The people that were with me had in no way a part in the moshing. All of this is going on while the people in the crowd are drinking and the bands themselves are drinking also.

The last band In Flames watched a man crowd surf to the front where he was grabbed but not before being knocked out by the bar that he hit with his head, the lead singer asked the seruity if they were really going to take him away from the concert for it, and began shouting "bring him back" the seruity refused and the concert continued and so did the moshing.

Now I was under the impression that the place clearly stated the fact that if you were found moshing you would be ejected, but it was made clear all they would do is sit there and watch even even as the crowd seperated the security did nothing to stop the "bloody battlefield" from forming. This concert is a great example how someone needed to grab ahold of those lead singers and turnt eh speakers off as soon as they even said the word mosh pit and eject the band its self for supporting such a deadly act. In the USA alone nearly 100 people die in mosh pits and 1000s more are injuried but they wear the scars like medals.

The support of violence in further found in video games movies and shows. However is it fair to blame the people who write the songs or the play the part in a movie or show? or is it the parents at fault? which ever maybe the case we need to find a way to keep such violence out of our childrens minds until they can understand the difference from liking a band and doing what the songs or movies and shows support in doing.

Micheal Moore did a documentary on Violence in our schools mainly shootings at them but he also travelled to our northern niebhors and found nothing different other than that their news doesn't feed them fear 24/7.

I dont know what I'm asking but I guess its for your opinion on the issue of fact like 60,000 murders in USA and only 16 in canada. what is it that makes the USA so dangerous to live in? I guess is my question.
