Brian Werner Is An Asshole And Heres Why

For some reason, Brian Werner, vocalist for Vital Remains, added me on Facebook a couple of years ago, and so far, the only things we have said to each other involved me calling out his racist/sexist/etc. bullshit.

Recently, hes been plugging his piece of shit, cheap-ass clothing line, X Communicated, and this evening I came across an item of clothing that pushed his assholishness too far. So I have come here, to Gunshy, to rant a little bit about it.

The image you’re seeing in this post was accompanied by the following text:

“This picture is getting deleted in an hour as to save the surprise for when the time is right. But this is just awesome so here is a sneak peak at the new Xcommunicated Clothing coming out this fall.

“‘The Trayvon’ – COMING SOON!!!”

Guess what, you sick fuck? Its not going to be a sneak peek anymore.

For a bit of backstory for those who may not know, Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old African-American high school student who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, who allegedly ran into Martin on the street at night; they had an argument that resulted in George lethally shooting Martin.

Martin was simply wearing a hoodie, was black, and thus perfect to be racially discriminated, even posthumously, in court. Zimmerman was declared innocent on what is known as Stand Your Ground, a law that basically says that if he felt his life was in danger, he was permitted to use lethal means to protect himself.

Several similar cases exist where people of color used such a right with non-lethal means, and were still sentenced to prison terms for assault or attempted homicide.
Knowing that, the reason that this should make you as disgusted with Werner as I am should be obvious.

Werner is an aggressive guns rights activist, sexist, and racist, and in his quest to be deliberately horrible and offensive, turned to the tragedy of Trayvons murder to get most of his horrendous points of view across at once, all while making a quick, blood-stained buck.

Simultaneously turning the murder of a young man and the vomit-inducing racial discrimination displayed by the American court system into a hideous joke and the fact that purely from the mind-bogglingly positive comments on the picture, he will sell these monstrosities, is the most perverse and insulting thing I have ever, EVER seen.

How DARE you, Werner? You disgusting shitbag of a human being. I sincerely hope the blowback on you for this is the most colossal, career-crushing thing you have ever experienced. The world has no place for cunts like you. It never did, and it never will. Crawl back to the medieval hole you spawned from and leave decent people alone.

Fuck you, Brian Werner. Fuck you, fuck your band (which was so, SO much better before you fucked it up), and fuck your pile of shit clothing line. What a fucking joke.
