This even happened in a commie org I used to work with. It's really fucking sad, harrowing, and upsetting that the reality is plenty of people can act like this.

When judging an artist, I have a staunch "one strike, then fuck you" policy. I've never been much for AF, but I certainly know enough about them from growing up in punk - I never would have put money on THEM crossing that line for me.

I share that one strike rule, Anti-Flag was super important to me but as soon as I heard about this I tossed all my shirts and scratched out all my patches, I'm just glad I didn't go through with getting the gunstar tattoo I had been thinking of getting.
