If France had banned ‘assault weapons…’
Eagles Of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes, a gun-rights advocate whose band survived the 2015 terrorist attack at the Bataclan theatre in Paris, railed against the March for Our Lives protesters in several social media posts, calling them “pathetic” and “disgusting vile abusers of the dead.”
After hundreds of thousands of students and activists gathered on the National Mall to call for stricter gun control laws in the wake of last month’s mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida, Mr. Hughes posted five messages on Instagram, three of which have since deleted, attacking the protesters as attention-seeking know-nothings.
In one of the remaining posts, Mr. Hughes shared a cartoon of a woman telling a man, “I turned in my gun to do my part in ending violence,” to which the man replies, “I chopped off my own d—k to stop rape.” Mr. Hughes then accused the Parkland student activists, who organized Saturday’s protests, of “exploiting” the deaths of their classmates “for a few Facebook likes and some media attention.”
“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,” the singer wrote. “[A]nd 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.”
