My largest issue now is someone not understanding and simply strays right into the location,” West claimed. “I recognize it’s a headache and it’s a discomfort. It’s Friday evening. Yet at the end of the day, we wish to prevent any person captured up in a possible collapse right here, so, please bear with us.”
