They have that&nbsp;bully pulpit, and they have a responsibility.\u2019 So let me be very blunt about it \u2014 do you believe the performer Travis Scott should have called an end to the concert once he saw what was taking place in front of the stage?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Pena said, \u201cAbsolutely. Look, we all have a responsibility. Everybody at that event has a responsibility. Starting from the artist on down. Certainly, as soon as they became aware. There was evidence that the crowd itself was trying to approach some of their private security, the security that was in that closer to that stage, that something was wrong. At one point, there was an ambulance that was trying to make its way through the crowd .\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cYou know, the artist has command of that crowd. In my opinion, this is my opinion right now because everything is going to be fleshed out throughout the investigation, but certainly, the artist, if he notices something going on, he can certainly pause that performance, turn on the lights and say \u2018Hey, we\u2019re not going to continue until this thing is resolved.\u2019 That\u2019s one way to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Houston Fire Chief\u00a0Samuel Pena said Tuesday on NBC\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d that rapper Travis Scott should have \u201cabsolutely\u201d stopped Friday\u2019s Astroworld concert when he realized people were struggling\u00a0in the audience.
