        I wish Jason Aldean had used the PA system to tell ppl that it was actual live fire and not squibs or fireworks.

        And we all wish unicorns had flown down to cover everyone with their goodness. Sorry, but nobody knew what was going on. 20/20 hindsight.

        I heard the shots & recognized what sounded like live fire; Aldean would know if his ppl set squibs or not & he could have shared that info

        Monday morning quarterback. It was a country music concert. Loud music. These people had no idea what was going on. Stop blaming Aldean.

        Aldean realized that he needed to run; he could have taken the time 2 tell ppl 2 run. I'm not blaming, just stating what I wish he had done

        The crowd had no idea if Aldean had fireworks/squibs or not; only the band/crew knew that. It's a fact that he could have warned ppl.

        As I said, it doesn't make him a bad person, but he ran; he shouldn't being singing TomPetty's "I won't back down."

        I got that much. I was actually wondering why SNL would use some shit-kicker to pay tribute to Petty. They usually have better taste.

        Virtue signaling w/o doing their research? 🤷 SNL should have begged #JeffLynne or #BobDylan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVDk3wh9bPY …pic.twitter.com/9CEKEfjeb6
