During Hatebreed’s November 5 show at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City, OK, frontman Jamey Jasta had to have an alleged nazi removed from the audience. You can see some fan-filmed footage of that below:
Jasta told the crowd the following:
“Listen, nazis aren’t welcome at Hatebreed shows. This is a fucking obvious thing. But you guys gotta police your own fucking shows, okay? In our day, I didn’t go to the singer of the fucking band. We handled our shit [in] the street. Nobody sees nothing. No fucking snitching, no cops. You got a problem? You handle it in the street like men.”
After the concertgoer left, Jasta added:
“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. There’s no place for racism, anti-semitism, sexism, transphobia – none of that shit. Life is hard enough. Everybody needs music. But I ain’t a fucking cop, but police your own shit next time alright? I love every one of you, but police your scene. It ain’t up to the bands.”
Shout out to reader Benjamin Sharp for sending in the clip, who provided a little more insight into what happened: “I’m honestly unsure [how this started]! My buddy was filming and we were both on the rail, and the individual shouting in the beginning of the clip captured our attention so he flipped his phone around. I did see the man who the crowd essentially ejected themselves though, and he seemed rather intoxicated and belligerent to begin with.”
