Webster Hall issued the following statement
Saturday’s incident is being fully investigated, as there are misreports about what took place. Webster Hall’s staff do NOT carry tasers and are not armed. They carry strobe flashlights. The safety of all guests is always our primary focus.
This incident involved artist and artist management, which required Webster Hall staff to intervene. The parties responsible for the incident then continued to escalate the situation.
Webster Hall’s staff do not carry tasers or weapons of any kind. References to alleged weapons are false. While the incident is of course unfortunate, we are fortunate that no serious injuries were actually reported. An investigation of the incident and the people involved is ongoing. Anyone found to be involved in any wrongdoing will be dealt with immediately.
… which – I don’t know – seems like they aren’t taking any responsibility. I mean: There’s a video of one of YOUR security guards kicking the artist in the head!! How you gonna say “safety is your primary focus”?
Meanwhile, if you aren’t familiar with Skate, he’s kind of the Zac Efron of rap. Or maybe the lovechild of Zac and Casey Affleck. He’s purty, is what I’m trying to say. Real purty. Let’s examine the evidence.
