Anti-Flag comment about the Arizona Tragedy
Music News | Jan 13th, 2011
It was only a matter of time, but Anti-Flag have commented about the Arizona Tragedy. Their name has been popping up in news reports because that’s what that guy supposedly listened to, along with the Doors and Jimi Hendrix. Here’s what the band had to say about the events in AZ:
It has come to our attention that a purported former classmate of Jared Lee Loughner stated the following about him, “…he was a pot head & into rock like Hendrix, The Doors, Anti-Flag. I haven’t seen him in person since ’07…” This comment has led to some discussion in the media and elsewhere regarding Anti-Flag and what Anti-Flag stands for.
For well over a decade Anti-Flag has endorsed non-violent progressive change and has lobbied for peace, equality, justice, and health care (including mental health care) for all people of America and the world.
Anti-Flag unconditionally condemns the heinous actions of Mr. Loughner and our heartfelt condolences and best wishes go out to every single person affected by Mr. Loughner’s senseless act of violence. Our message is and always has been very clear, violence in any form is unacceptable.Peace, Anti-Flag
