Comment of the Day: Furious Styles Member Didn't Expect T-Shirt Controversy
A reader who calls himself a current member of the band Furious Styles responds to Local Hardcore Band 'Furious Styles' Uses Cop-Killing to Sell T-Shirts. He says the murder of an innocent police officer isn't going to change his group's views on law enforcement.
"The past day has been a shit-storm for a shirt that wasn't even supposed to reach mainstream society. This shirt wasn't a silly publicity stunt and frankly we're supprised at the ammount of attention it's recieved. We've never wanted or expected mainstream success or attention. This shirt was meant to sell to a select few fans, not to be peddled off onto Seattle's teenagers at Hot-Topic.
Anyone who knows Furious Styles knows our stance on police and just because an officer is actually killed doesn't mean we're going to change our tune, so to speak. It wasn't a joke then and it's not a joke now.
Because of the press coverage, which was completely unexpected and misinformed, we've had alot of "friends" turn their backs on us. But at the same time, the true friends and fans we have have shown us alot of support. I'm still a member of FS, I still live in Seattle and I still support the shirt as well as all the bands statements.
To be honest I was more impressed by Christopher Monfort's actions when he destroyed those police cruisers a few days before the shooting than the shooting it's self."

Oh Honestly! Who really gives a FUCK!?! It's just a FUCKING SHIRT! The debate over it is as stupid as the shirt itself.

I really dont see what the fuss is about. Regular people die for nothing everyday. And where i grew up, just for being young I was hassled everyday by the police who had nothing better to do apparently, in one of the most meth infested places in America. The band is entitled to their opinion and views, if you dont like it then start a petition to get the first amendement removed.
