WXTU RADIO CONCERT BRAWL—The annual 92.5 WXTU Radio Concert held at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden City on Saturday night, May 30, 2015 attracted the usual rowdy 20-year-old concert goers who are unable to enjoy themselves without getting drunk and fighting. It is not just young men, young women are also out of control. As they have done at previous WXTU concerts the thugs and hoodlums gather early in the day to tailgate and get smashed at parking lots that are near the center. 

According to WPVI, this past Saturday two people were sent to the hospital after a brawl broke out among tailgaters.

A 51-year-old Mt. Ephraim woman, who did not want to be identified, says she and her 30-something-year-old son were in the 2nd Street near Clinton Street parking lot when they were attacked by a group of people. 

The woman says she was dragged through the parking lot while her son was badly beaten, being punched repeatedly in the face and head.

 Authorities say another person was stabbed in the hand.

 Three victims were taken to Cooper Medical Center for treatment. No word on their conditions.

Witnesses say there was a lot of drinking going on in that parking lot.

The 92.5 XTU Philadelphia Country Station concert in Camden has been the scene of numerous fights over the years. 

In 2011, over a 100 fans were fighting in the parking lot. A police officer was stabbed in the chest and had to be treated at the hospital. 

The following year Camden police arrested 191 people. That same year 193 people were treated for injuries and illnesses, and 10 people had to be transported to nearby hospitals for more serious injuries. That day an SUV slammed into a vehicle carrying concert bound country music fans, killing one, police said

 It makes you wonder why Camden City officials tolerate this kind of lawlessness. 

Attorney Richard Hollawell, a personal injury lawyer said in 2013 that he blames the concert promoter for the unruliness. He represented a man that year who claimed he was viciously assaulted by some concert-goers.

\”He was repeatedly punched, kicked and mercilessly beaten by a group of kids attending the concert,\” Hollawell said. \”He fractured his orbital, nose and jaw. He has had multiple surgeries.\”

Hollawell blames Live Nation for the show\’s past problems. \”It is required and it agrees via contract to provide proper crowd control measures and security. It failed and repeatedly fails to do so just so its costs are lower and profits are higher. They promote profit over safety.\”

You can find a number of Youtube videos of the brawls. Here is just one.

 LOCAL POST OFFICE CLOSED ON SATURDAY-Several people complained to CNBNews about the Gloucester City Post Office being closed last Saturday morning (May 30). From what we learned the employee scheduled to open the post office never showed up. 

So what happened?

Postal spokesman Ray V. Daiutolo Sr. said, \”I understand the office did open, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The office hours for Saturday are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. On behalf of the Postal Service, I apologize for any inconvenience this caused to our customers. It appears proper employee protocols were not followed. Management is addressing this to ensure it does not happen again.\”
