A rock musician who survived a terrorist attack in Paris says the Florida school shooting survivors who called for gun control during the March for Our Lives in Washington are “pathetic.”

Forgive me, but I really don’t care what anyone who does business under the name “Eagles of Death Metal” thinks one way or the other.

The protesters don’t care about the school district’s neglect, nor the failures of the sheriff’s dept.

Well, thanks to gun control in France, 89 people died at one of his concerts, with him in the crosshairs.

The name is a pun, besides. They aren’t an Eagles cover band nor do they play so-called “death metal”.

One of the most important differences between Jesse Hughes and Baby Hogg is that Hughes and his band are actually genuine survivors. Hughes knows of what he speaks.

Unlike Hogg, who wasn’t even on school grounds when the shooting happened. Hogg and his bully friends are no survivors.

Yup, their handle is an in-joke that they fit into neither genre. Have some good sounds. I believe this might be the same group member who was vilified for saying something non-PC about Islam.

LOL. Face it - the pickins are a bit slim when it comes to conservative artists. Let’s see — we have some metal pukes, some country artists, Ted Nugent and a few more. Pathetic.

A rock musician who survived a terrorist attack in Paris ...

He paid a high price to be one of us... but 'welcome aboard' Jesse Hughes ... He knows - as we do - that the best way to stop a bad man with a gun is with a good man with a gun.

the Florida school shooting survivors who called for gun control during the March for Our Lives in Washington

are like the women who signed the "End Women's Suffrage" petitions.

Yeah because appearances are so much more important than the message......as he sends a sensible message, he probably also doesn’t care what a non-thinker spouts about him because he actually had a message and you think we care about what you like and don’t like....tell someone who cares what you care about.
