One of them is that freedom of speech. And the other one is about being a patriot. Because I\u2019m here to tell you, I don\u2019t care if you\u2019re Republican, Democrat, Independent, you need to be a patriot of this country. I am willing to die for this country. I believe in it that much. And that man next door, he believes in it too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While this beautiful helping of Word Salad was met with audible cheers from the crowd, many audience members in the front row let Lawless and his band of idiots know that they didn\u2019t approve by giving them the finger and yelling \u201cFuck You.\u201d\u00a0 Others on social media have voiced disapproval too. Shayne Mathis called it \u201cthe most embarrassing thing I\u2019ve ever seen at a metal show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Concert photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/thetinfoilbiter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Tinfoil Biter<\/strong><\/a>, who was covering the show, wrote \u201cFuck you W.A.S.P\u201d in an Instagram story, and added that photographers were told to stay for this last song \u201cfor something special to shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did NOT, as a poc female, consent to be at a spot where things can take a quick turn to be potentially not safe for mental\/physical state,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI did NOT sign to come cover a TRUMP RALLY.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFuck Blackie and the band,\u201d wrote music journalist <strong>Zena Tsarfin<\/strong> in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zenametal\/\">Instagram story<\/a>. \u201cThe tour is still going for three more weeks.

Fuck you for ruining your own band for so many people. Fucking uneducated cornballs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I really should not be surprised at all because over a decade ago, Blackie decided that he was no longer a sexual pervert or fucked like a beast anymore.\u00a0 He was now a god fearing Christian who would dedicate himself to Christ.\u00a0 L O fucking L.\u00a0 So in addition to being a bible thumper, he\u2019s now a racist, woman hating, LGBTQ hating, piece of breathing shit.<\/p>\n<p>Now if we can just get the Satanic Temple factions to protest outside of\u00a0 W.A.S.P shows that would be amazing.\u00a0 How would that be for irony.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 5th the majority of America let it be known that the hatred of the LGBTQ+ community, the female population, and all people who aren\u2019t white is a acceptable way to live among other things.
