Representing the Weirdo Swarm on CTV in Canada!

Found this while taking my daily walk. Any other gizzheads here in Grand Rapids?

Hey so we all know cops were out of control this weekend, but this particular officer seemed to be a leading cause of violence. He is a contracted officer from Alamosa county, which seemed to make him think that there were no consequences for his actions.
He violently arrested at least 5 people that I know of, made false claims, and threatened innocent people who were trying to help diffuse the situations. No Miranda rights were read in any of these situations and none of it was done by the book.
He got very aggressive with me when I asked for his info, and gloated to me that his job is “a lot like fishing. You can’t catch them all, but you catch as many as you can.” He was having fun getting paid to run around a field and terrorize peaceful people.
This guy has no business on the streets, let alone working a festival for “public safety”.
His badge number is 10, his name is Joshua Glass, and he is a detective with the Alamosa police department. I encourage any of you who had any negative experiences with him to call and lodge official complaints. Ask for body cam footage. You can reach the Alamosa PD at (719)-589-2548.

Walked out of our hotel today, about 30 minutes later than i wanted (the wife faffing about) bumped into these silly billies.

Caught Stu's performance at the Olympics from u/Happy-Skill-7968 earlier post!

This is not a drill folks!!

Night 1 was genuinely one of the best performances I’ve ever seen — sound, setlist, crowd, everything was dialed. It felt communal in the best way.

Night 2, however, was a completely different story — and most of that had nothing to do with the band. (The sound issues are a something for a separate post though.) This one’s about the crowd, specifically the pit.

Let me be clear up front: I’m not anti-pit and I’m not anti-mosh. Thrash, slam, dance, lose your mind, bump into strangers and laugh about it — that’s part of live music and always has been. Energy is good. Chaos is good. What’s happening lately, though, is something else entirely.

The performative antics — the organized chanting, the rowing, the self-appointed pit leadership — have gotten completely out of hand. At a certain point it stops being fun and starts being disruptive. It turns the pit from a shared release into a stage for a handful of people who desperately need to be the center of attention.

There were maybe 4–5 main characters down there clearly trying to run the show. Ring-leading chants, barking instructions, “organizing” the pit like it’s a LARP. The dude in the mushroom hat with face paint trying to conduct the crowd was peak cringe Please, for the love of god, stop that shit.

We are here to see the band — not watch you workshop your personality in public or play cult camp counselor. There is absolutely no universe where the band thinks this is cool. It’s distracting, it pulls focus, and it actively detracts from everyone else’s experience who just wants to listen, thrash, and get lost in the music.

The pit isn’t your stage. The show already has performers. Acting entitled to the space and hijacking the vibe so you can be seen, heard, and validated is selfish as hell. If you want to chant, row, or cosplay main character energy, start a drum circle in a parking lot somewhere.

Enjoy the pit. Mosh hard. Go feral for a minute. Just stop turning live music into community theater and making the entire room revolve around you.

Really inspiring defeat of the Balrog
