Taboo Nation was the final act to appear on stage at the Tate Street Block Party, and they brought a degree of crunkness and enthusiasm with them, but unfortunately, the lateness of the day and a series of confrontations in the crowd had caused the fans to begin to disperse. A final scuffle sent a crowd of teenagers walking, then running west down Tate Street toward the former Cleaborn Homes, where they gathered in the parking lot of a church. Thankfully, there were no further incidents. It was all the more sad, and ironic, that the Tate Street Block Party was explicitly promoted as a “Stop The Violence” event.
