Wow that is so dumb.!!! It's not their faults that the crowd get's crazy. what are their reactions suppose to be.? Ohhh it's All Time Low woohoo yeahhh (Boring Voice) Or wohhooooo!!! It's ALL TIME LOW!!!! (HAPPY VOICE) Yeahh six flags is dumb for bandding them.!!
I'm glad i get to see them though on June 4th. :)

Six Flags is full of shit. I officially love ATL and Boys Like Girls. They really took a stand and tried to help their fans.
I HATE 6FLAGS! I LIVE IN SA! NOBODAYYY BANS ALL TIME LOW IN MY CITY AND GETS AWAY WITH THAT SHIT!

WOW. thats BS

I think that Six Flags is so wrong and that they should have gave a warning cuz that's just plain wrong...

Ok, really? It's a CONCERT, it's going to get a little rowdy, but mace? It said in the article that it was the PD that used it! I live in Washington State, and had that happened to ANYONE here, the police would get a big, fat lawsuit on their desks, and not one of those "I spilt HOT coffee on myself, so now I'm going to sue -insert name of wherever coffee was bought- becuase they didn't warn me" kind. That isn't fair to the bands or their fans! As a ATL and BLG fan, this pisses me off! If I was one of the fans that got maced, there would be a police officer unable to have children anymore, and if someone says "you'll get arrested" and give me a speech about not harming cops, if it was you, wouldn't you? Glad the bands stuck up for their fans, because that's not right, no one deserves that.

I agree with ThrowYourDiamonds

like really macing that's going to far. security gaurds are to do there jobs without hurting kids.

they could tell the kids to get off the stage or get kicked out a warning should be enough!
getting kicked out is a a punishment exceptiable.

or they could say that of the people did not get off the stage then the concert would not continue eventually they'd have to get off

That's just horrible
especialy when the theme park tried to shift away the blame

it's just beyond pathetic

they used mace on kids are you serious? That stuff hurts like heck. I would understand the removal of the kids who got on stage but mace is not necessary and since it was an all age show they might have even maced little kids. That is just going to far.

Bands invite fans onstage all the time. Mace is not the answer in situations like this. The concert should have been paused and security should have taken the mic and told the fans to get off the stage. If they didn't get off, THEN force may be used, but they weren't given warnings first which is illegal.

I don't know exactly what other concert does to get kids to settle down in the States ('cause I'm from Canada), but if it was getting out of control, actions should be made and they were, but to use mace? That is inappropriate.

I first found out about this incident at my Bamboozle Roadshow date, Toronto, when Alex started talking about it. He said how it was unfair to them on how they got kicked out of a venue and unfair to the fans because they got hurt. The Jack, drunkenly, said "I'm Alex, it was me. I maced the kids". With Alex's reply, "No, it wasn't Jack, this is serious." His whole speech was his introduction into letting the security let us flood the floor. And nothing bad happened.

When I go to Warped, and it gets out of control, a security guard will remove the destructive kids from the crowd, and they usually go in silence. Or they will remove them from the venue and take their ticket so they can not come back in. Or when I went to see Asking Alexandria, the stage was a foot higher than the floor. Asking Alexandria didn't want kids on the stage ('cause it was a small stage), so if a kid jumped on, a techie ('cause their were no guards), would take the kid off the stage and back into the crowd. Eventually we got smart, and jumped back into the crowd before the techie could take us off the stage. But asking to calm down or stop or removing them from the equation is a lot more civil. I don't know if that how it's done in the USA, but that how it's done in Toronto and no one gets hurt.

Precautions do have to be made if the fans get out of control, remove them from the venue, but the mace was not the right solution.

The other thing that bugs me if the Six Flags banned All Time Low for defending themselves and their fans. That was a odd choice.

so thats why they werent playing when i went to the sixflags one in jersey.
ohh,,, im angry ):<

This is why I wasn't allowed to go to Six Flags as a child.

The worst part of that show I have to say is it was all ages so the maced individuals could have been really young. I have to admit though I laughed my freaking face off reading the tweets from all the bands.

Crazy crowds happen at concerts all the time. Macing them was unnecessary though it would have been hard to kick them out, it would have been a much better possibility.

What else were they supposed to do? Sit there and watch?
The teens should have known better than to crawl on to the stage in the first place. They had it coming.

@EmoKisses- the Bamboozle is a fest in NJ. The Roadshow is whats travelling

That's so screwed up! They're going to lose alot of people going to Bamboozle now. Mainly everyone was going for ATL. Mainly. That sucks monkey ballz. I HATE SIX FLAGS!!!! I was so looking forward to going because of ATL. :[

The security guards did NOT go too far. I saw comments on AP's website from people who were standing in the crowd and said that the whole ordeal started as Zack took off his shirt and a group of girls began fighting for it which lead to several kid's swarming the stage. If you know what it MEANS to swarm the stage then you'd understand how hard of a situation it is to control. Its hard to get screaming, squirming, awe struck teenagers off the stage so of course security is going to do their job and mace those who deserve it. I agree completely with them.

@Audrey T., I can also see where you're coming from, but honestly the security guards went too far. Pushing is enough, but MACING, seriously? Also, it seems that from various reports that security didn't even ask anyone to stop or get off, they just jumped into action... All I can say is wow, just...Way to go, Six Flags. XP
