Attila frontman Chris Fronzak might be annoying as hell, but I pinned the dude as, at the very least, a decent businessman. I had slightly higher hopes for him than say, being unintelligent enough to run from the cops.
The band played Warped Tour in Denver and apparently Fronzak told the crowd to "go nuts" and all that hype stuff… and they did! A lot. To the point where a few people got hurt and Fronzak is being sought out by the cops for inciting a riot, according to him.
"Yesterday's show in Denver was amazing, wild, and energetic. While it is NEVER my intention for anybody to be injured in our crowd, sometimes the inevitable happens, especially when you guys are turning the fuck up. Unfortunately for me (the performer) if I tell the crowd to 'go fucking nuts' or 'crowdsurf' or 'start a fucking moshpit' and people get injured, I am now legally liable for 'inciting a riot'. In the midst of yesterday's chaotic and amazing show, a few people unfortunately got injured. At that point I was told that the police may be searching for me for 'inciting a riot' so naturally- I dipped the fuck out. I don't about you but I don't fuck with police or jail.
"I know some of you are disappointed because you feel like I 'ditched' my signings or whatever, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I love my fans and meeting you guys is the highlight of my day, I'm just not trying to get arrested. I just wanna play music, that's all. I'd like to send my sincerest apologies out to anybody that may have gotten hurt during yesterday's performance. My intention was to have 5,000 people crowdsurfing safely to the front. I love and care about all of you and I don't want anyone to get hurt."
Right. He posted this on August 2, when the incident occurred.
Unfortunately I won't be going to my signings today. I sincerely apologize. I gotta lay low right now. Sorry Denver.

I'm not a lawyer or anything, but if he knows the cops are looking for him and he's intentionally hiding, isn't that going to make things way worse when this all catches up with him? Come on Fronzak! I thought you were at least marginally more intelligent than this… anyway, best of luck when the law comes down on this one.
Also, it's not like Fronzak is "hiding." He's on Warped Tour. They know where he's gonna be next.
