That's the idea of "beyond the scope" in this situation (I don't think they measure it with feet but maybe by block) . That's exactly what this traffic violation is about. Some roads were blocked, but not all were accounted for.
"Passages of buses and other modes of transport had to stop for a time. Fans tear down the stage, the stage and the sidewalk into the fence have been knocked down, and the scene was very chaotic and frightening for random bypassers, including several children." (first post)
Those passages of buses and other modes of transport were beyond the scope for example. They didn't account for that situation and possible problems may occur.
Now the other part of the quote is about the fans being violent. That's the fans fault and is unreasonable. They are probably being fined (hopefully) or not, but the media did not cover that part.
That part of the quote is an example of the media making a controversy out of this. They didn't say that a month before. But now, some casual readers of the news will probably relate that with Ayu because she's the main topic and is popular. That's not fair for her because she didn't cause that yet the media will make it seem so. The media placed the road traffic violation together with the violent fans as if they're interrelated. They're 2 different things and there's no need to mention that part.
I see the media do this very often, especially if a political issue is involved. Yes, this is the reason why I'm being sensitive here -
media bias (not the media itself) makes me angry and it can influence us with factually wrong ideas. People should be aware on how to deal with this. And who knows, those other road blocks were probably blocked for only 2 seconds and media made it sound it went on for an entire day, which farthur makes this situation ridiculous. Unfortunately, Ayu was caught in the middle of all this.
