Tweet Causes Near Riot at Hollywood Movie Premier

 

Just one tweet. That’s all it took.  A popular DJ known as Kaskade took to his twitter account to announce that there would be an accompanying block party after the premiere of a documentary about the Electric Daisy Carnival rave – an electronic music festival.  About 2,000 people were inside Grauman’s Chinese theater to catch the screening.  The problems began when the Los Angeles Fire Department inspector determined the theater was overcrowded and an unknown, perhaps even larger, crowd had begun packing the streets outside of the theater.  Police Officers ordered hundreds of people to disperse, but the crowd refused and began throwing objects.  Kaskade, who is featured in “Electric Daisy Carnival Experience” and has more than 90,000 followers on Twitter.  Later in the evening he went back to his Twitter account to try to calm the crowd.  ”Everybody CHILL OUT!!! The cops are freaking out. BE SAFE AND LET’S HAVE SOME FUN!” he wrote. The DJ was scheduled to appear at a party after the screening.
