Actually, I think it was the location that affected this and moved it from rowdy or sleazy behavior to homicide. One of the comments from somebody who had gone to the event said that they had just decided to leave because this year it had suddenly become very “gangsta.” So I’d say the problem wasn’t the artists or the art-lover crowd, but that somehow it had gotten out on social media and attracted the attention of the thug crowd, famous for crashing parties and turning them into shoot-a-thons.
So the thug crowd didn’t like the art then. Who knew thugs were art critics?
