A man who was paralyzed at a 2017 Travis Scott show says he's 'devastated' for the Astroworld victims and is 'incensed by the fact that it could have been avoided'
“Security picked him up like a sack of potatoes and carried him toward the front. Travis offered him his ring. Then they finally carried him out. Unfortunately, he was paralyzed,” Green’s lawyer Howard Hershenhorn said in an interview Saturday. The case is currently pending.
When Green heard about the tragedy in Houston, he took it hard, the lawyer said. “He’s devastated and heartbroken for the families of those who were killed and for those individuals who were severely injured. He’s even more incensed by the fact that it could have been avoided had Travis learned his lesson in the past and changed his attitude about inciting people to behave in such a reckless manner,” Hershenhorn said.
For Hershenhorn, those lyrics show a careless disregard for people’s safety. “His desire to rile up the crowd beyond hysterics, where people are pushing and shoving, has resulted in a massive catastrophe. It’s time for him to do some significant self-reflection,” the lawyer said.
