He stated, “They have to change these events.”
It was me. I lost my son. Acosta suggested that it might have been you.
“When you want your child to have fun and because no one else provides the right…” The right security. You have the right security.
“Because he isn’t the first person to be in such large events.
You can visit Disneyland without having to worry about anything. It’s possible to go to a ballgame and still have fun. They have security and the right people to assist the injured.
It’s difficult to explain.
Rodolfo ‘Rudy’ Peña, 23
Peña, from Laredo, Texas, died of cardiac arrest after being injured at the show.
His major was in criminal justice and medical assistance. He longed to be a model, and he hoped to one day become an agent for the US Border Patrol.
‘What happened this past weekend is a direct result of what happens when the pursuit of financial gain and fame take precedence over protecting the lives of the innocent,’ said Almaraz Law Firm, representing the Peñas, in a statement.
“It’s a testimony to the state of live events today and the greed running rampant within this industry.
“Nobody should be afraid to enjoy something that they love,” and this unfortunately is what happened.
‘We vow to work diligently and responsibly to bring justice to the Peña family and to all afflicted, and we will not rest until these voices have been heard loud and clear.
“We will hold those responsible accountable, and we will fight for something good out of this terrible disaster. It is time for something to change. Something will shift.

“Last Night he did a brave act of saving my sister-in law from these horrendous acts.” He added that he was in complete trauma and lost of words from the event.

Baig accused him of inciting chaos and calling people onto the stage to join the crowd, as well as ‘not stopping it’.
Baig cautioned that this isn’t the end. Baig stated, “My family and me will go to every extent possible to bring him to justice.”
