Venues should not be allowed to have this level of surveillance for public events. The way the owner of MSG has uesd it is proof enough, banning people for unrelated reasons because the owner is a massive piece of shit.

Idk I think this is similar to being against exploitative capitalism but also shopping at Walmart because you need to be able to eat.
