Citing Their Way Around in the Endarkment

Earlier this week, I noted a tragic event, a fatal drunk driving accident, after a local radio station’s (B-93) yearly concert festival.  I titled the post “It’s the Festival’s Fault." Today, one week after the accident, and six days after another fesitval (the FOX Festival) which followed the B-93 concert the day after, and disallowed alcohol in response to the accident after the B-93 concert, both concert festivals have been terminated.  Here’s the reason cited, that both concert festivals have been ended at the Allegan County Fairgrounds, according to “city officials.”

"City officials said the decision is not linked to last Saturday’s crash that claimed the lives of Shawn Lawless, Rebecca Styf and Peter Christiansen. A fourth person, Melissa Booker, has been released from the hospital."

Yeah, right.  The reason both festivals have been terminated is because one individual got behind the wheel of a car, drunk, and caused the death of not only himself, but two other individuals.  If there had not been a fatal accident, after the B-93 concert last Saturday, city officials would be crowing about the peaceful fun, the diversity of bands, and their great relationships with B-93 and FOX.

“B-93, Fox concerts end stint at fairgrounds."
