    The entire labour day festivities should have came to an immediate stop.

      My condolences to Allysa’s family and friends, but sadly it does not work like that. People lose their lives at Rio’s Carnival, Labour Day in Brooklyn, Notting Hill Carnival in London, and while it is sad and unfortunate, the festivities continue. There is too much time, money and organisation put into these events to just shut it down because of a fatal accident.

    Seeing this is so sad. People went out to enjoy themselves and some didn’t even get to finish enjoying themselves! We never know when be the last moment
