Apparently, this is nothing new. Three other shows had fencing this year. These are paid shows. These shows are huge draws and lots of people would like to attend. This is where "security issues" come into play. I hope everyone is aware that the NYPD has very nearly perfected crowd control, crowd limiting and crowd division.
Sadly, there is a concern that having large amounts of people together will somehow incite a riot or bring about an otherwise chaotic environment. Now I don't think Feist is going to send anyone up in arms against the man. Bob Dylan should make everybody reflect on excessive sentimentality. The citizens of NYC are slowly being constricted and sublimated in the name of security issues. Watch and see during the West Indies Day Parade (orange, hand-held fencing for starters).
I think some may say that the police were protecting the attendees. I don't think anyone is thinking that a Prospect Park concert is a good spot for a small or mid-sized explosive. I believe that this is wider effort on the part of the police to create a residual notion amongst the citizenry that trying to gather in large numbers is futile. The NYPD underreported the number of people at the Met Opera that occurred in Prospect Park. By maintaining small crowds it prevents people from developing a sense of unity and strength.
Don't mistake me. I don't think people are looking for strength by attending Bob Dylan. I think it is a simple, and slow method of maintaining the idea that large groups won't form. It won't be possible to form large groups. People looking for others to join in protest will not be able to find unity and strength in a large group. We have become the "security issues."
