Marilyn Manson Points A Fake Rifle At Crowd In San Bernadino

Listen, I’ve never gotten my panties wadded up about Marilyn Manson.

His music is hard-pop wrapped in an oh-so-edgy package. He was always there to freak out the parents of “rebellious” teens. His lyrics really aren’t even that dark. They appeal to oh-so-misunderstood teens who think they’re “dark” for wearing crap they bought at Hot-Topic. The righteous outrage around him was by far the best thing to happen to his career.

…And to be perfectly honest? “Lest We Forget” makes for a killer workout soundtrack.

I know, I know. I’m a heathen. Sue me. I’ll elliptical to Manson over generic rap about jiggling my a$$ any day of the week.

All that aside, this is indefensible.

There’s stupid… and then there’s this.

According to TMZ:

Marilyn Manson showed a shocking lack of empathy Sunday night as he pretended to spray the crowd with bullets from a fake semi-automatic weapon … in a county that is still reeling from a mass shooting.

Marilyn — in a wheelchair after a September injury that crushed his leg — was performing at the Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino … the city where a terrorist killed 14 people in December 2015.

Perhaps with that in mind — and a penchant for controversial headlines — Marilyn pulled out the fake rifle while performing “We Know Where You F****** Live.”

A mic is attached to the scope of the rifle.

Disturbing as hell.

You can watch video of it here.

Again, I know he makes his money by pushing buttons… but really?

Really?

Twenty seven people had lost their lives that MORNING to a deranged gunman shooting up a church…

This seriously crossed the line.

What do you guys think?
