Singer calls Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students who
participated in march "disgusting vile abusers of the dead" in Instagram
tirade
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."

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
