Sure, folks simply acquired arrested for moshing, and no it wasn’t at a slam present or one thing that will make sense. It was at a Joyce Manor present.
The Southern California-based band are extra alongside the strains of indie and pop punk. They’re a powerful instance of their style, however nonetheless, it’s arduous to consider that this was the heaviest present taking place in Jacksonville, Florida on any given night time.
This occurred on the primary night time of their tour with Porch Coffin and Glazed at Collective Con, an anime conference on the Prime Osborn Conference Heart. Given what occurred subsequent, we’re assuming the conference heart authorities weren’t accustomed to the benign nature of moshing at a pop punk present.
Allegedly, safety was making an attempt to calm issues down throughout Joyce Manor’s set, after which they acquired on stage durning the tune “Fixed Headache.” The present was then shut down, and police dispersed the group, even arresting some folks. Naturally, movies of this have been surfacing on social media.
Far From House Data, primarily based in Orlando, chimed into the dialog to precise that they weren’t proud of the therapy of followers in the course of the shutdown:
“can’t consider cops simply began taking random followers to the bottom on the Joyce Manor present tonight, forcefully shoving them into cops vehicles simply because they acquired ran into IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PIT and folks weren’t clearing out quick sufficient. ACAB ACAB ACAB ACAB ACAB ACAB ACAB ACAB
“Noticed it being shut down a mile away as a result of they saved telling the group to relax however went overboard so quick. Infuriating to see one of many smallest and calmest dudes there being picked on by the cops simply because they acquired lumped in with the group.
“Individuals began stage diving even after the safety dude was grabbing them and taking them apart so like I sorta get it (although it was tremendous) however greatest mistake was the cop simply patrolling in the midst of the group and yelling at followers that have been ran into bumping them.
Whereas so far as we are able to inform from these preliminary studies, nobody was significantly injured, people usually are not proud of police actions at first present of the tour.
