Commenters quickly pounced on the obliviousness of the post. \u201cDidn\u2019t like 14 people get hospitalized??\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n

But the group didn\u2019t mention it in a post about the concert. \u201cDamn San Jose this show was chaos!!!!! Will bring a louder horn next time that\u2019s on us,\u201d they wrote in an Instagram post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Emergency personnel responded to an outdoor concert at Discovery Meadow on Friday, where 14 people were taken to local hospitals. Authorities said the medical concerns included suspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues. NBC BAY AREA<\/p>\n

\u201cWow downplaying that 14 ppl went to the hospital during your show is not it. Wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea to do education around drugs and alcoholic and bystander awareness if ppl are getting that fucked up at your show and it\u2019s \u2018nothing out of the ordinary\u2019 to you,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome kids drank too much apparently,\u201d they wrote in a reply. <\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is fine,\u201d they added. \u201cThis happens at concerts as you can imagine. I\u2019m not sure why certain news articles are trying to make it a story.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw the articles day after and asked the event organizers if anything happened and they told us nothing out of the ordinary for a concert\u2026. Seems like media succeeded in making a story but everyone is fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paramedics were called to the venue just minutes after the opening act went on last week. The concert began at 5 p.m. at the city\u2019s Discovery Meadow and ended by 10:34 p.m.,\u00a0according to ABC 7.<\/a><\/p>\n

Police said paramedics treated some patients at the park, but at least 10 people were taken to the hospital, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n
