Eagles Of Death Metal Singer And Bataclan Survivor Has TOUGH Words For March For Our Lives

As most of you will remember, a HORRIFIC Islamic attack at the Bataclan concert venue in Paris left 90 dead in 2015.

Last night, the lead singer of the band whose concert was attacked went on a social media rampage against the survivors of the Parkland shooting, saying they are disgracing the memory of their lost classmates.

According to Fox:

The lead singer of Eagles of Death Metal—the band that was performing during the 2015 Paris nightclub attack—took to social media Sunday to criticize March for Our Lives participants and called student organizers “vile abusers of the dead.”

Jesse Hughes, 45– the lead singer who once said “until nobody has a gun everyone has to”– posted the rant on Instagram.

“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 in a series of Instagram posts that have since been deleted, Rolling Stone reported. “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.”

Ok… so he may be right on a few things. But I think the majority of these kids feel like they’re doing the right thing. They have not been properly exposed to the other side of the gun argument… and we should make it our goal to do so.

I don’t think his approach was the right one. But again, I do see his point.

Hughes referenced the 2015 attack in Paris, in which his band was performing at the Bataclan concert hall when Islamic extremists’ opened fire on the crowd that left 90 dead, for “how well civil rights abuses as it concerns firearms helped to protect” those in the tragic massacre.

“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.

Many say that the Parkland students are “Experts” because they experienced a shooting first hand.

Whenever I post about this issue, I have at LEAST one comment with someone saying “OMG UNTIL YOU SURVIVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.”

OK… Well this guy survived something like this. If you want to get down to it, he survived an attack where 90 people died. So is he an expert too? Or does that logic only work when it supports your “side” of the argument?

Again… I don’t think he should have attacked the kids personally. But it’s important to realize that not all “survivors” come out of ths with the same anti-gun perspective. Just look at Kyle Kashuv.

Eagles of Death Metal did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

Sunday’s protest argued the need for stricter gun regulations in response to last month’s shooting. Since the bloodshed in Florida, students have tapped into a current of gun control sentiment that has been building for years — yet still faces a powerful foe in the NRA, its millions of supporters and lawmakers who have resisted any encroachment on gun rights.

“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 …,” Hughes concluded his Instagram tirade.

That’s pretty intense.

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.

He has since deleted the tweets.
