Eagles of Death Metal's Jesse Hughes, a survivor of a mass-shooting incident, called the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School "disgusting vile abusers of the dead" for participating in the March for Our Lives protest.
Hughes penned his tirade in the caption of an Instagram post that mocked gun control and the efforts for stricter gun laws. "Obviously … The best thing to do to combat chronic abusers and disregarders of the law (like the law against Murder) is to ... pass another Law," Hughes wrote. "But before we pass this law we're going to denigrate the memory and curse ourselves by exploiting the death of 16 of our fellow students for a few Facebook likes and some media attention."
"Look how well civil rights abuses as it concerns firearms helped to protect me and my friends in Paris," Hughes added. Eagles of Death Metal were onstage at Paris' Bataclan on the night of November 13th, 2015, when armed terrorists stormed the venue and killed 89 people, including the band's merchandise manager.
"As the survivor of a mass shooting I can tell you from first-hand experience that all of you protesting and taking days off from school insult the memory of those who were killed and abuse and insult me and every other lover of liberty by your every action," Hughes wrote.
Nearly two years after the terror attack, Hughes made controversial statements suggesting that the Bataclan shooting was an inside job perpetrated by the venue's security. Hughes also criticized the French government for imposing stricter gun laws. Although Hughes later apologized for his "baseless" comments, Eagles of Death Metal were still dropped from the lineup of numerous French music festivals.
On Sunday, Hughes chastised the Parkland, Florida survivors for demanding legislature on gun control. "The Whitney Houston song about letting the children lead the way wasn’t actually [an] operating paradigm for life ... And when the truth don’t line up with your bullshit narrative just hold your breath and stamp your feet and [refuse] to except it ... then take multiple days off of school playing hooky at the expense of 16 of your classmates' blood … it might be funny if it wasn't so pathetic and disgusting," Hughes added.
"Long Live Rock’n’Roll ... and may everyone of these disgusting vile abusers of the dead live as long as possible so they can have the maximum amount of time to endure their shame ... and be Cursed ..."
While he didn't apologize for his comments in a follow-up Instagram post, Hughes acknowledged that he shouldn't have mixed rock and roll and politics.
"I’ve always believed in the motto I may not agree with what you’re saying but I’ll die for your right to say it. Saddens me to see so many not have this motto for the same," he wrote. "I’m going to start a second Instagram for where I shall put my political beliefs... I love every lover of Rock’n’Roll and And every lover of Rock’n’Roll is welcome here check your politics at the door and I’ll start with myself."

The link should be right, but Hughes reportedly deleted the Instagram post *without* apologizing for having written it. Probably had something to do with his comment to avoid politics afterwards.
Eagles of Death Metal singer calls March for Our Lives organizers ‘disgusting vile abusers of the dead’

“Hughes wrote in a series of Instagram posts that have since been deleted...Hughes did not apologize for his rant but acknowledged in another post that he would be creating a second Instagram as to not mix his political beliefs with music, Rolling Stone reported.”
It was a DNC registration drive on the back of the dead, plain and simple
The American people who are middle of the road have lost all dignity like the Germans when German parents let Hitler take their kids out of an education to march for him and his election, later stuck on being only able to be thugs and canon fodder because of zero ability other than that
These marchers think they are so cute, but they are terrorists who violate my free speech by stealing education money, making me pay to register democrats (campaign finance violations too anyone? Black Panther style with Holder?)
And they violate the 2nd amendment by using cops and schools backed by cops to force march kids out while parents are disarmed and cannot stop them with machine guns, as it would be fit
Next time Hughes sounds off on a subject he shouldn't hold back - he should just tell us how he really feels...
well said and TRUE!

Wonder how much of that blacklisting was because of security concerns. There were efforts made long after the theater attack to hunt down some or all of the musicians.
On April 26, 2017, the Spanish police announced that one of the nine men arrested the previous day in connection with the March 2016 terrorist attacks in Brussels was spotted and questioned outside the band’s concert venue in Barcelona on September 10, 2016. According to the police source, he was subsequently put under surveillance, as were his entourage, which eventually led to the arrest of the nine men on April 25, 2017, in and around Barcelona.[55]

These yutes were indoctrinated for 8 years in the Obamajugend in public skrewls. Mmmm mmmmm mmmmm.
They are still loyalists to Dear Leader and he is their forever president. He currently sits in exile.
I wonnder how many a@@hole soccer moms we’re gonna lose to this bull#### narrative come voting time.
Obviously i’m not talking about FReeper women
Cause if they’re soccer moms, they’re 2nd amendment soccer moms :)
Exactly. That, and can they peel back 2 out of every 100 women who voted for Trump.
Because, the Dems operatives who are sufficiently based know full damn well that the damage Bobo did to the Rust Belt, the Midwest, the Plains, the Intermountains -- while China threw up buildings weekly -- will take DECADES to CORRECT. And Trump the Visionary saw that as Job Number 1.

Undoubtedly, out of fear the wee wee’d up Muzzies would cause more trouble.
He is right, those kids are attention seekers who do not know what they are bellyaching about. If the security guard had had any spine he would have shot the shooter with a gun and avoided the whole mess. But then the kids wouldn’t have been able to be on TV.
When you see how quickly this whole march and anti-gun protest came about you have to realize that was the agenda BEFORE there was a shooting. Also makes you realize that the shooting was a necessary evil to the dems in order to make it happen. Whether it happened with the narrative of a crazed Cruz shooter or he was framed is another story, but with Sheriff Israel and his muzzie sidekick, along with the security guard that stayed outside, and the teacher that saw the shooter wearing full SWAT type gear, I’d say the latter.
My bet is most of these protesters couldn’t find France on a map.
ROFL!!! The Left has been doing just that since the beginning of rock-n-roll, and were mixing folk and politics long before.
When put that way...I get a chill up my spine. I cannot fathom that type of evil, yet there it (seems to be?)
This article reminded me of Van Halen. Haven’t heard from him lately. Is he still making conservative news?
