Eagles of Death Metal shooting survivor: Parkland campaigners 'vile'

[Initech]

Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes, who survived the 2015 Paris attacks, has lashed out at survivors of the Parkland, Florida, school massacre.

In a series of posts on Instagram, the singer labelled students who led the March for Our Lives protest on Saturday as "vile abusers of the dead".

Hughes also accused one of the students of "treason" and mocked their gun control campaign.

"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.

Eagles of Death Metal were on stage in Paris on the night of 13 November 2015 when terrorists stormed the venue and killed 89 people.

In further posts, Hughes described Parkland survivor Emma Gonzalez as "the Awful Face Of Treason.....survivor of Nothing....Lover of Treason.....enjoy your little moment.....it's about to End……"

He shared a bogus image of her tearing apart the US constitution. The photo was doctored from a photoshoot the teenager did with Teen Vogue and widely shared among conservative critics of the gun-control campaigners.

Hughes also shared an image that said: "Donald Trump will be your president for 7 more years" and "there are only 2 genders".

I used to like this band, but after reading this, I think I will be deleting their stuff from my music players. Asshole.

1. No one cares who these losers are.

The though of Streisand sends these losers into a rage, knowing that they will never be what she is.

5. Yeah, she's got some killer tunes.

Safe, unoffensive music you can really buy groceries to. When I heard she was coming to my town, I very nearly soiled my khakis.

3. As others have observed

If you're insulting the victims and survivors of mass shootings/terrorist attacks, then you're already losing.

If you're making ad hominem attacks of people solely because of their sexual orientation or gender, then you're already losing.

If your views are those of white supremacists and Nazis, then you're already on the losing side of history and your time in the spotlight is coming to an end.

4. What the hell?!?!
