Shocking story from global

[GazDaBomb]

Taken from the GK message board

Well, what can i say After turning up at the event at about 5 o clock i was greeted with a very frisky search so quick that i wasn't even searched!!!!!!

The reason Im writing this was coz i had to be taken out the event for my own security! why? coz 5 black blokes chased me with a knife!!!!!!!!!

Yes, a knife then as i was cornered one black bloke showed me a gun and started waving at me from about 20 meters away!!!

It all started as I was really enjoying my night during the tiesto set and i was walking through the crowd and i slightly skimmed a half cast man very slightly and he dived and tried slicing my ankle I brushed him away and started running for my life!! I was absolutely terrified!! I couldn't actually believe he had a knife and tried slicing my leg!!!

I got to the edge of the tent and was trying to think of a way to find my girlfriend and her sister to tell her what had happened but then as I was looking for her the lad started chasing me as, he must of recognised me from 10 mins previous so I ran out the tent to this burger place where the man let me in but the lads had followed me too and was all staring at me pointing to all his mates and must of been thinking of a plan to get me!
Eventually the burger guy finally got a security guard and he escorted me to the hospital part and said it would be best to stay in here for a while until these lads clear off.
but as I was escorted the lads that had tried to stab me must of followed us and they were all trying to pretend they were ill and stuff trying to get in the hospital! I was absolutely scared!!!!!
2 of um got in and one of um started waving a 6-7 inch knife at me and i was like ****!!!!!!!!!!!!! So i ran out the tent to find another security guard and finally found one and i pointed these guys out and as he went to do something one of these guys passed a carrier bag to another and out he pulled a gun and started waving it at me! I was absoulty scared for my life I told the security guards and one of the guys put it in a bin and the security guard ran after him leaving me behind then one of the other guys went and took it out the bin and ran off!
The security guard finally cam back and said to me look your going to have to get out of the event because there was nothing he could do! So he arranged for someone to take me to Coventry for my safety! leaving my girlfriend and her younger sister back at the event!!!

I eventually got hold of my girlfriend and told her what happened and she had to get a taxi to Coventry!! I was so glad to be still alive and finally back with my girlfriend! Then we had to find a bed and breakfast which we didn't find!!

Next my second part of my nightmare!! I rang one of the lads on the coach that we came up on and asked if the coach could wait 30 mins for us to get back but the coach driver had to get back for another job! so I was stranded in coventry with no money my girlfriend and her sister freezing to ****!!

I wanted to share this with everyone and hope that next year you can hire metal detectors on the door coz there are people clearly not getting searched! and people like me could of been killed by these evil minded people!!!

I eventually got home at 9pm sunday night! looking and feeling like **** coz of these idiots that tried to kill me!!!

I was having the best night ever untill this point and cant believe that these guys all had knifes and guns!!

Please do something about this godskitchen!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone was stabbed multiple times there though, and i KNOW a big 'crew' of very violant people were there that day.

 

[GazDaBomb]

allot was said on the board about the amount of trouble makers seen there. He wasnt the only person to be subject to violence there. Also his account of the people who did it also brought forward more people saying that things about the same group assaulting and stealing from people.

Also i believe there is a big gun culture amongst certain types in Birminham so i dont see why it cant be true. also people would be nieve to think this sort of thing couldnt happen in an event like this.

if all this is true then i can see the end of such festivals if things like this cant be controlled

dont add up at all, 5 guys running around waving a gun it the air and the security done nothing.

Could he not just point them out to the police, explaing they have multipul knifes and guns and want to kill him

I noticed a lot more police on site this year at Global. I for one, never felt unsafe at all, even me and Rach were allowed to wander round on our own for 2 hours and we never came to any harm

loads of wanna be rude boys from various rival crews were there because of the (insert name of drum n bass tent i have forgotten!) trying to impress eachother. Apparntly they were all tooled up.

 

[lynch]

d&b does attract more of a rudeboy crowd but no matter what there will still be trouble. The fact that 35 thousand people (most of whom are on drugs) are in a field it will attract loads of dealers, most which are probably gang related.

Not everyone in the world is nice, people will mug, barge people and fight, I honestly believe if you're not looking for it you wont find it. I.E. a few rudeboys pushed past me in the d&b, instead of giving it i carried on dancing, and the lads just carried on walking. It's always gonna happen no matter what the music, i see tons of fights once at gratecrasher at the NEC, at one point i see someone's head get stamped on, shit happens im affriad
