Ηχηρά μηνύματα έρχονται από τη rock και metal κοινότητα για τη δολοφονία του George Floyd!
Ήταν Δευτέρα, 25 Μαΐου, όταν ο George Floyd άφησε την τελευταία του πνοή μετά από ένα τραγικό περιστατικό που διαδραματίστηκε στους δρόμους της Minessota. Από εκείνη τη στιγμή και έπειτα, όλη η παγκόσμια κοινότητα αντέδρασε για το συγκεκριμένο περιστατικό και ανάμεσα σε αυτούς ήταν και οι καλλιτέχνες της rock και metal μουσικής σκηνής. Δεκάδες συγκροτήματα, μουσικοί αλλά και άνθρωποι που σχετίζονται με την μουσική βιομηχανία εξέφρασαν τον αποτροπιασμό τους στα φαινόμενα αστυνομικής βίας.
Παρακάτω σας παρουσιάζουμε κάποια από τα σχετικά μηνύματα που εξέδωσαν άνθρωποι της rock και metal κοινότητας:

“We’re Hurting” 5.29.2020 Richmond, VA. LET ME MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR: as a peace loving man who has seen & very regrettably been involved in violence myself in the past, I CANNOT CONDONE VIOLENCE- it only hurts us in the long run. BUT... I can UNDERSTAND it. Last night, I went out to document a protest in Richmond, VA, walking for a couple of hours with the people, shooting photos & trying to capture this moment in history- this is what I do as a photographer, in times good & bad. It was peaceful for the most part while I was there, but very shortly after I left, it kicked off & the rioting/violence started. There were a few cop cars & a city bus put to the torch, windows smashed (including small businesses, a few of which were black-owned- how does this help? It DOESN’T), & lots of spray paint. Tear gas/flash bangs were deployed. There were reports of gunshots (from the crowd, not the cops), but thank God no one died last night. And although I have had my problems with police before, I cannot just hate all cops- I know some good ones who do their best to serve & protect. But I also have NEVER had to worry that a cop might kill me because of the color of my skin. The violence you are seeing is the result of years & years of bottled up pain & fear, the only voice left when peaceful means don’t seem to be working. I texted a musician friend in LA last night who is a black man- I asked him how he & his family were. “We're okay. We're hurting. We're angry. But we’re okay.” The two words that stood out the most to me: WE’RE HURTING. When people hurt bad enough, for long enough, they lash out. So instead of just being another voice screaming “Racism is bad!” I want to ask you ALL: please think about a time you were hurt & scared- how did you react? I know that I myself have reacted VERY BADLY before when I was hurt & scared. All I really wanted was for someone to HEAR ME, to LISTEN, to CARE, to try to UNDERSTAND ME, to RECOGNIZE MY PAIN. There are A LOT of people who are very hurt & scared right now, & they have had ENOUGH. Things have to CHANGE, or the violence will continue. I will be staying in tonight- if you are going out, please- be peaceful. My heart hurts... 😞
