Bush did 9/11, but who did 11/13? I don’t know if we’re calling it that yet, but if you’re not sure what I’m referring to, remember the terrorist attacks all over Paris last November? Specifically, remember the terrorist attack at the Eagles of Death Metal concert at the Bataclan?
If you don’t, you might want to see a doctor for memory issues. Anyway… Jessie Hughes, frontman for Eagles of Death Metal, definitely remembers. In an interview with Fox Business Network’s Kennedy, Hughes sheds some light on what he thinks really happened that night.
From the very time, Hughes arrived at the Bataclan… he knew something was off:
When I first got to the venue and walked in, I walked past the dude who was supposed to be the security guard for the backstage. He didn’t even look at me. I immediately went to the promoter and said, ‘Who’s that guy? I want to put another dude on,’ and he goes, ‘well some of the other guards aren’t here yet,’ and eventually I found out that six or so wouldn’t show up at all.”
Alright… had nothing happened that night, Hughes probably would have forgotten this occurrence altogether. Hughes further says he saw some guys in the crowd who just didn’t seem right either:
Right before we walked onstage, there were two dudes in shorts and trench coats, [who] were standing, without talking, heads down in the corner, by where the entrance out into the venue is from backstage. We have a joke that if you’re not smiling at one of our shows, you surely can’t be there to see the Eagles of Death Metal, because you don’t know what you’re in for.
Ok, so maybe Hughes has read too many books about the trench coat mafia and he’s profiling. I know a lot of people who wear trench coats and don’t smile, but I’m 40% sure they’re not murderous.
He’s made some serious accusations, and people aren’t happy about it, but he did chose to tread more carefully at the end of the interview:
Out of respect for the police still investigating, I won’t make a definite statement, but it seems rather obvious that they had a reason not to show up.
I mean, we all know the NRA is running a global initiative to increase gun violence to make a mockery of the gun control argument. Hughes has been ideologically changed since that tragic night at the Bataclan:
I think the only way that my mind has been changed is that maybe until nobody has guns everybody has to have them.
