Kill a cop for god.... WTF Is Wrong With Them

I was reading a couple articles today, as sad as it is in 2003 an officer Patrick Hardesty was killed during the line of action. I have many friends who are rockers punks, and have met some of the more famous of the line yet i think any of them would tell you that this offense to punk rock is nothing but a vulgar action of someone wishing to have some minute claim in the world by disturbing this poor family's peace. An album was released called "Kill a cop for god". to this i say to the artist you are one sick piece of work, while i dislike getting pulled over, i may also at times get in the face of authority i would never go this far. The local Tucson band has taken a pictured of the slain officer Erik Hite and placed it on their sick album. Their featured song mentions both of the officers along with john Montenegro Cruz and Nick Delich their killers. One of these men was killed for his crime after being put on death row. However i question you now who is worse , the person who pulled the trigger or the person who has stripped away every bit of happiness in these two families and nationally made fun of their tragic history. While quite a number of officers are enraged at this provocative album the band has proclaimed that they do not find it to be a big deal. Our soldiers go to war and fight for the very freedom we breath and our officers help maintain that freedom back at home. Yet we are supposed to believe that because people are able to make creative liberties and exercise their freedom of speech it makes them impervious to the very morals and ethics that this country was founded on. that we have fought for hundreds of years to produce a more perfect union of states, of different personalities, of different characters. Aaron Pillsbury , a member of this band believes that we area that it as an outrageous idea to assume that their album targets police and their families, that stealing a photo of a murdered cop could not potentially hurt anyone. Damon Pillsbury, who i assume is Aaron's brother or relative, thinks that just because it was written with joking intent, we are supposed to believe that it was a metaphor a symbol not to be glorified but to acknowledge what? that these men do not put their lives on the line for trashy pieces of shit like this? I can only hope that the Tucson Police will do either harass the fuck out of these bastards or put the full extent of the law against them. To the family members and friends still mourning a lost officer or patriot, i apologize for people giving punk and rock a bad name, for their insecurities, for their insensitive nature. Patrick and Erik will surely be missed, as will every other hero that dies serving this nation. While some family members of Patrick are content with the notion of the band members being parasitic leeches on society, I am not. the only band member who even acknowledges that this could potentially hurt someone was David Stine. While this does not excuse his role in this offense i can only hope, that the others will take heed and follow his example. Punk rockers have gotten a horrid name, as have the people that follow the scene, we are often outcasted by our neighbors and shown the amount of disrespect i'd show someone who spit on my mother. Yet even having seen , witnessed and been the victim of many such acts of either violence or open hatred towards, i am disheartened. While i could not locate the band's myspace to make sure the photo they displayed was pulled down, i hope that they have done this at least in an attempt to make amends for the atrocity they have performed. however i have uncovered that still these members blog about 5 cop killers whom in their eyes they see as the real heros of this nation. to shoot a man and leave him dying on the sidewalk, as he has made no a front to your very nature, is not just sick , it is the seed of evil that is embedded within today's culture and society. The first amendment gives you the right to speak freely, however i assure you, it is a crime to incite violence. It is a crime to threaten and / or intimidate others and it is a crime to abusively use the information and pictures on public record and domain. I am all for the american dollar. however i believe it should be done with hard work and you should contribute something before you pass to others. Hurting their feelings and inciting murder i do not believe is to be counted among these good charitable deeds. When bands prove to be something new and revolutionary i think it is amazing. i have always had a deep passion for music however making money from playing off the fear and sick antics of a genre is insanity. there is no logic to the argument, you make your buck and you are sued for that which you have made. create a revolution, please. however do not harm the fiber and blood that makes up the structure and integrity of what we have today. This band does not deserve sympathy as they are ridiculed by the public eye, because if they were before me i would cut off their nuts in an attempt to make sure their seed never made it into the world. In general, while they have done nothing other then offend me , and while i generally like to stay away from words like distaste and hate. i believe these men to be a plague on society, and would not wish their " flavorful" music or intentions on any adult or child that may be subjected to their music. in summary, FUCK YOU, You give a horrible name to punk.
