Shawn Mendes and Khalid perform with Parkland survivors at Billboard Music Awards

Shawn Mendes made a powerful statement in solidarity with gun violence victims at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (May 20). The singer-songwriter performed his new single “Youth” with another rapidly rising star, Khalid — as well as members of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School choir from Parkland, Fla. Dressed in a t-shirt that read “Protect our guns” with a slash through the word “guns” and the word “children” replaced, Khalid harmonized with Mendes, who strummed an acoustic guitar as they delivered the song’s affecting lyrics. The song thematically champions keeping one’s spirit although times are difficult and heartbreaking.

I have no idea who any of these people are. It is safe to assume that neither of them are Metal.

yes by all means, protect our kids by taking guns away from law abiding parents who have them for self protection and family protection- Brilliant! Let’s also make sure there are never any armed guards and armed and trained teachers to protect our kids too- and no metal detectors, and no mental health officials to keep obviously disturbed children out of school- Again- brilliant! Liberals are so smart- s/

"...Shawn Mendes and Khalid..."


Will do a Google search to learn about them.
One is left to assume they are allegedly famous.

These two guys are definitely not even remotely cool enough to be metal. Not even close.
The late great Ronnie James Dio does not have to worry about these sissies toppling his crown.

My guess is rap or maybe what I call “lounge” music but completely lacking in talent.

Metal Now and Forever!

Ronnie is a good one. Yngwie Malmsteen can also shred.

Dang, they discovered the secret that it only takes a t-shirt to overthrow the US Constitution. I think it's clause 1b: If opposing T-shirt shalleth be worn by a Famouf Perfon (or Perfons,) then shall Our Constitution be nullified in that regard. So mote it be!

Just viewed a few YouTube videos from these talentless gun-grabbers Shawn Mendes and Khalid and they are HORRIBLE.
The guy Khalid can barely be understood and his alleged songs are full of that “autotune” crap. Shawn Mendes songs were also lame.

Two things come to mind:

1. Where are the "Santa Fe shooting survivors" pushing gun control? Where are the ones in the shooting before Parkland? Why is it seemingly this one that has this group of narcissists climbing over their classmates' bodies to get to the TV cameras?

2. I now get why so many foreigners openly despise American culture. What kind of F-ed up country do we live in that "school shooting survivors" become celebrities? Really redeems Paris Hilton and her sex tape.

And it was at that point that I had to hear the third or fourth out first justices, racism, and gun violence and all that it entails from the left side of their myths

And then Trump is a racist calling people animals across the border, despite my educating my friend that the news cut up what Trump said taking out a huge Schwab’s of content to create new context so the conversation started with me trying to repair the truth

That MS-13 they’re pretty cool group aren’t they?

The response who’s MS-13?

Nothing improved from there even though I was able to point out that Trump was talking about MS-13 and their ilk Brothers it was at that point, the conversation change to another social justice Warrior commentary app, in which I was not going to be given the opportunity to express my opinion or illuminate facts and I realize something semicolon

My friend is drinking all this poison obsessively and I had to leave

I’m not going to allow this obsessive poisoning of the Mind Body Soul and Spirit to be visited upon me and disturb my peace paragraph are there bad things happening in the world? Yes

But I’m not going to obsess on them

They affect me in so far as I’m outraged that happened but, I do have the ability to compartmentalize and move on and trust in God and look at all the good things that are happening wrong in certain parts of the culture and this friend and their obsession and I can’t allow this in my life anymore

Sadly, there’s no one to help this person get a grip and celebrate all this good

And I can’t allow this in my life anymore

I also will not be around anybody who decides to change fax and accuse me of something that I didn’t do or say such as semicolon the kids at Sandy Hook were murdered

Only crackpots believe that and I happen to know one, who I have zero interest in associated0.
