Associated Press: Radio hosts at New York’s WQHT-FM, which sponsors the country’s largest one-day hip-hop music festival, took to the airwaves to scold concertgoers who threw bottles and rushed the gates at the Hot 97 Summer Jam in East Rutherford, N.J. The action prompted police to fire tear gas into the crowd and arrest 61 people. While tens of thousands of fans listened to some of the biggest names in hip-hop inside MetLife Stadium, hundreds trying to get in clashed with police in riot gear after the gates were closed, leaving 10 troopers hurt. “You cannot throw bottles at police,” Laura Stylez, of the Hot 97 morning show, said on air. “What is wrong with you?”
