An Austin local news station just did this report on tons of trouble at SXSW. Fights, riots, uncontrolled crowds, drunken ppl hitting women, unruly buzzbands, total chaos in the tame city of Austin. I understand that the local news is for old people who double check that their suburban doors are locked every night so that the colored drug addicts don't wander into their homes at night, but it is kinda funnie to see this old white haired newscaster bro say the names of buzzbands like 'The Strokes' and 'Death from Above 1979.'

Anyways, it seems like the local news probably needed a little bit more scary footage of people dying/being trampled 2 death in order to make this a really juicy local news piece. It seems like the city of Austin has generally done a decent job making sure that drunk ppl don't kill eachother at free events, but it is only a matter of time b4 the first SXSW death happens, sorta like all those raves in California. Then SXSW will be changed/ruined/banned 4evr.

Is SXSW 'safe'?
Should the city of Austin 'pull the plug' on this event even though it makes mad $$$ for the city?
R u afraid that 1 day u will die at SXSW?
Do u <3 the local news?
Do u feel bad whenever u watch the local news because it represents 'the world' that __% of the country is living in bc they don't read relevant blogs?
