Typical Chicago Libruls Restricting Your Freedom!
In the Atlantic article 5 Dead at Pukkelpop: Why Do Concert Stages Keep Collapsing?, there was an interesting Red State/Blue State contrast mentioned at the end of the piece:
The Indiana State Fair had a one-page emergency plan with only general bullet points and fair officials aren’t sure whether anyone is supposed to inspect stages. No one inspects the stage at the Three Rivers Festival. Chicago, meanwhile, has some of the strictest standards in the country and requires outdoor events - including Lollapalooza and Pitchfork - to pass the city’s building codes, have a wind gauge on stage and provide a “high wind action plan” for what organizers will do if gusts go above 30 mph.
Looks like Obama’s Chicago cronies are at it again with their evil regulation, hampering business’ freedom to drop large objects on your head. (Just trying to channel Rick Perry. Also, Glenn Beck’s out of the country so there’s a nuttery vacuum to fill.)
As a reminder of what “freedom” in Rick Perry’s America could look like, scary video of the stage collapse in Indiana:
