One female suffered a head injury and several people were arrested by the Albany Police Department.

This is not the first time a Travis Porter concert has ended in violence.  There have been several incidents in Texas and in Georgia that have ended in violence.

We live in a culture of violence that needs to be addressed.  A lot of us do not know how to handle or address issues properly, and it often becomes misplaced.  Learning how to address your emotions properly and maturely can lead to greater success in the long run individually.
