Cops arrested 22 people at Kenny Chesney’s Saturday concert at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, and dozens others were ejected for misbehaviors police attribute entirely to alcohol. At one point, cops were so overwhelmed by miscreants that they momentarily lost track of exactly how many troublemakers had been booked for unlawful conduct.
Police make 22 arrests at Chesney-Aldean concert Read more greenbaypressgazette.com Indeed, so many drunk country music fans were ejected from the Packers’ stadium that Green Bay cops didn’t even bother trying to count the numbers, the Press-Gazette reports. This violent and thuggish behavior—unquestionably provoked by Kenny Chesney’s pro-intoxication repertoire—led to arrest numbers double that of Pittsburgh, where only ten people were arrested at Chesney’s concert a month ago.
That’s not even counting the extremely high number of medical emergencies brought on by drunks passing out or falling and injuring themselves. One rescue chief told the Press-Gazette that “EMS rooms had lines out the door.”
We know, because we were listening. Prompted by the PG’s Doug Schneider, we tuned in to the Green Bay police & rescue scanner, and recorded the whole thing—and today we present it to you as a movie, which you can view above. When will the white community stand up to its destructive culture?
Among the crimes called in by officers:
7:52 p.m. — A male wearing cutoffs harassed other concertgoers for turning him in to cops for sneaking in booze. 7:56 p.m. — A highly intoxicated male shits his pants. Multiple calls. 8:04 p.m. — A highly intoxicated male is “pickin’ fights with everybody.” 8:06 p.m. — A highly intoxicated person is “puking and falling on people.” 8:30 p.m. — “Belligerent fan spilling beer.” 8:57 p.m. — An intoxicated male is foaming at the mouth. 9:43 p.m. — A male party has a nose injury and gets tased. 9:48 p.m. — A huge fight breaks out near the Lambeau pro shop. 10:17 p.m. — A male is groping women.

Apparently The Kenny Chesney show is a shitstorm of crime every fucking year, but they keep having the show. Can you imagine a bunch of black dudes jumping a white guy and dumping him on the tracks after a hip-hop show?

Shit is sickening. Yet I'll say it again until I lose my voice, had that been a hip hop concert and the opposite happened, they wouldn't just shut down the concerts, people'd start getting dropped from labels.

Ok. First and foremost, I'm just pointing out the disparity. But we all know it's there and we all know why it's there, so I guess it's beating a dead horse.
But I've been to these country shows, man. I've never seen anything like it. There is shit that goes on there that you hear the scares about metal shows, hip hop shows, and all of the shows we've been told that are "scary" or "trouble."
Honestly, I just want these parking lots cracked down on. I donmt want Chesney dropped or any kind of thing like that. But I want this idea that, to borrow a phrase from Chris Rock, "if it's all white, it's all right" to end. Because that's what's going on.
