Maybe it's just because it happened during a pop concert that this is being done. I don't know the answer, not saying I know the answer either, but I'm damned to my opinion that there is a motive behind this that isn't just for raising money (and they're going to raise millions and millions of dollars split between the families of 22 victims?).
Jaded isn't the word for me, skeptical is. Much love and support for those 22 families in tragedy, but this concert just reeks of using tragedy and turmoil to promote a far-left agenda. It'd make me sick if it were the case. Where was the benefit concert in Nice? Orlando? San Bernardino? Fuck... where was the benefit concert for the Paris attack that killed A HUNDRED people?
It stinks of virtue signaling and using a terrorist attack to promote accepting multiculturalism and refugees. Which AFTER a terrorist attack, is the exact kind of bullshit I've come to expect from corporations. The NRA does BS publicity events following school shootings that smell oddly similar to this. Hm.
And unlike KrazyK up there, I'm approaching this bipartisan and I'm absolutely not some alt-reich shitlord.
