Cries of "victim shaming" should be reigning down on the French media and concert organizers. The hypocrisy is unparalleled.

As always, double down on the left.

There's a bit in that recent EODM lead singer interview where he stated that apparently there was 7 off duty cops in the audience that night, and all of them asked their wives (ffs) "Should I bring my gun?"

All of them didn't of course. All of them survived as well. Just imagine the difference if there had been 7 armed cops in the crowd.

At the followup concert, all 7 were there and armed.

When you stare down evil face to face, nothing matters, only survival, this was their moment of red pill truths.

There's an old saying: "A liberal is a conservative who hasn't been mugged yet"

It applies here.

No one's going to take Jesse down, because they saw many massacred and lost friends. It'd be a lose/lost for the left.

They will do what they always do when someone breaks the victimhood narrative. Whether that is in the context of a woman, a black person, guns, etc. They will ignore it like it never happened.

A """moderate Muslim""" EODM fan wrote a letter attacking Hughes for his remarks:

MetalSucks Wrote:Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes has found himself under quite a bit of fire following the terrorist attack during his band’s concerts in Paris late last year, difficult to imagine given all the worldwide goodwill sent his way immediately after the incident. He’s made comments decrying gun control, he suggested that security at the venue had something to do with the attacks, and he’s had some very inflammatory remarks towards Muslims. Two festivals in France have dropped the band from their lineups as a result.

Now Ismael El Irak, an Eagles of Death Metal fan, Muslim and Arab who was at the show at Le Bataclan and who “could not look more Muslim if I tried,” has written a scathing open letter directed at Hughes, tearing apart the venue security conspiracy claims and eviscerating him with regards to his views about Muslims. Here’s the letter in full:

Fixed that for ya

I wouldn't be surprised if that "moderate Muslim" was making up every word of it. What evidence do we have? Jesse Hughes is in the band and quite obviously actually there, but what's stopping some random Muslim apologist from making up nonsense out of thin air? It hardly really matters though because the frontman is in a much better vantage point to see what's happening across the venue and backstage than one random fan with a much more limited experience.

If you're someone as utterly incongruous as a Muslim who adores rock n' roll, it's obvious that you're completely out of touch with the forces driving radicals anyway. The problem isn't that there aren't Muslim moderates, because there are clearly plenty of them, it's that they know that they aren't even being faithful to their religion and therefore can't summon up the balls to hang the radicals in their midst. They're impotent because they know they're wrong.

Fake; propaganda.

He didn't tear anything apart, he just ranted. No objectivity in it at all.

All the criticisms in it are predictable and based on 'feelings', not fact.
