I hear the "influencer" has been arrested for his role in inciting this action.

I think it's rather people are predictable in situations such as these, same with some, albiet more rarer, shoppers at Black Friday events where there are different psychologies at play at large gatherings and where crowd management is a must without freebies, throw in freebies then the psychology of 'getting something for nothing' seems to become some sort of achievement which overtakes rational thought. With this event, you have both psychologies at play, IMO. The management and organizations are responsible for crowd management, plain and simple.
It's also more unsustainable consumption which is ruining the planet. Just saying.
