    the vendor that did the attacking was allowed to stay and vend until the end of the event

    The victims have been banned alongside the attacker

    So, yeah, the attacker is clearly messed up & needs some intervention, but the organizers need to be locked up. At least Bitey seems to be mentally ill - get that dude some help - but damn the organizers heard all that and not only allowed the behavior, but punished the victims as well.

      Yeah everyone who was at that convention should be concerned about this. Concerned enough to tell the con’s organizers to fuck off. Safety is paramount. This is falling well short of that. Tell (future) attendants to not go there. Tell artists not to have a booth there. It isn’t safe.
