Electric Daisy Carnival Promoter Pasquale Rotella Wants Another Shot at Hosting Massive Parties at the L.A. Coliseum

 no it was a male and he was 19 get your facts straight

he was 19....

It wasn't a 15 year old. Do an ounce of research before you say something like that. 

And how does it make any sense at all to blame the party itself for the actions of an individual? It's dreadful, granted, but these festivals are organized to showcase art and music. It just so happens that electronic music has more often than not been associated, although not by any NECESSARY means, with intoxication and the consumption of drugs (all of which can be similarly seen in ANY OTHER art-music-movement/youth culture scenes). These events aren't evil, cult gatherings orchestrated to take your children away from you. They're absolutely, indisputably safe in nature, UNTIL you add the element of personal decision and the inability to regulate everyone's actions.

It's honestly that simple. It's, I suppose, difficult to see for some people because they only acknowledge the sensationalized reality that there are in fact a lot of people out there making stupid decisions. But whose fault is that? The artist's who makes music people can dance to? Or the lack of educated young people who are clearly out of the realm of a parent's control? 

You can't rally a witch hunt to demonize some sort of youth culture when the culture itself isn't to blame but rather the poor decisions of some uneducated young people. I mean you can, but you'd be a barbaric dick. 

Well considering that people keep dying, people will continue to talk about Electric Death Carnival. I'm glad they banned disgusting event from LA.

In no way has Insomniac Productions been trailing Go Ventures.

disastrous? howso? Most everyone had a great time...Just because one person died? You do realize someone has died every year at monster massive by GO ventures for a while... my friend died there in 2008.And "trailing behind" GO ventures? their parties have not been as successful as Insomniac lately. I'm not saying they're bad at all, but Love Fest last year was pretty empty..I don't see a problem with these parties. If people die, maybe they shouldn't put so many drugs in their bodies.

Scott, What a nasty and inhuman position to take. You are passing judgment on people you have no knowledge of. You, and those like you, with your arrogant and dismissive attitude are a real problem for the rest of us living, breathing, caring human beings. Please practice birth control and do not reproduce. For the love of God, let your obvious disdain for others and your bitter antihuman attitude pass away from this world. We grow weary of you...

Wow Scott? Virgin much? Mad that everyone is having fun without you? Looser

Scott, your full of shit.  There is trouble with anything in life, thats just how it is.

These stereotypes are absurd. Did you not read that there are 100,000 people in attendance? 100,000 people! That is like the city of Richmond. Now, take a typical concert by any Rock group and compare. You will see the same issues arising. Take any city of that size and you will find the same issues arising. Based on your logic, you should shut down a city if someone dies from drugs. I personally think that they do an excellent job at curbing disaster when you have that many people gathering for an event. Remember Woodstock. I guess that should have never happened either? If you think that way, please move to North Korea. Here in America we like to enjoy our freedoms with loud music and dancing if you don't mind.

Scott! Really?!?

I try and attend as many of these events, along with EDM (electronic dance music) shows at clubs, as I can. I do not drink or put any drugs in my system, I simply enjoy the melodies and beats of house and trance music. I do realize I'm part of the minority when it comes to being sober at these events, but I do not think you should apply that stereotype to everyone who likes EDM and attends such events.
