SCUM OF THE EARTH - Hot Topic Meet And Greet Cancelled


Scum of the Earth SCUM OF THE EARTH frontman Riggs has issued the following statement:

"Scum Of The Earth's scheduled in store for Hot Topic October 23rd at the Branson Landing has been cancelled. Hot Topic - whose corporate leaders are more emo than the clothes they sell - collapsed under pressure today when Branson city officials, parents and the Principal and Vice Principal of a local school threatened to protest if Scum Of The Earth showed their faces in the mall... apparently upset by what I (Riggs) had to say about having a drink after the in-store (in one of the several bars located at the Landing a few stores down from Hot Topic) and once again accusing me of devil worship and being a bad influence to their inbred youngsters.

With no respect for our rights of any kind we are being shut down AGAIN! We are in the process of fighting back this time by contacting the ACLU who hopefully can set some of these Nazi wannabees straight and shove their bible thumping inbred shit heads up their own asses... HA!
Riggs out!"
