Bloodhound Gang ‘fleeing’ from Russia after bassist desecrates flag

Is this is why Europeans are more racially aware!?   Instead of  just having this attitude towards entertainers boycott; ie* The Dixie Chicks when they spoke their minds about potus GW and 9/11.

Same Reaction would be met with in the US Flag – except Shots Fired – even with a US Band
 
 
Now if we all had that same attitude towards our countires invaders, refugees, and funding to countries that desicrate our flags which is criminal too and ways of life while the government expects us to $upport them and by giving our men and womens blood in wars over their Holy Wars, and Oil before looking out for our own!  shera~
 
US rockers Bloodhound Gang got their Russian gig cancelled, were ‘showered with tomatoes’ and ‘beaten’ by the locals after a YouTube clip showed the band’s bass player desecrating a Russian flag – an act considered a criminal offense in the country.In the outrage-sparking video filmed at the July 31 concert in Odessa, Ukraine, the bass guitarist ‘Evil’ Jared Hasselhoff can be seen grabbing a Russian flag, shoving it through his underpants, and then throwing it into the crowd.
“Don’t tell Putin,” he asks before the stunt, as the audience explodes with cheering.
The Russian flag, which for some reason was hanging on stage, is then replaced by a Ukrainian one.
The band’s lead singer Jimmy Pop can then be heard saying he “disagrees” with the act, as“unfortunately Russia is better than America.” 
The band later apologized and attempted to explain the bass player’s motivation, saying he was only trying to “appease their fans.”
However, the stunt has cost the rockers more than they expected, and could even result in a legal pursuit on Russia’s territory, where Bloodhound Gang was going to perform next, RT’s Aleksey Yaroshevsky reports.
Upon arriving in the South Russian city of Anapa for the KUBANA music festival, the band learned that their concert was called off following the furious reaction by Russia’s Minister of Culture. The minister called the band members “idiots” and said they should be “packing their suitcases.”
The band still received their money for the cancelled gig, according to Yaroshevsky.
Reports said that the minivan taking the band back into the city’s airport was pelted with eggs and tomatoes. A group of people also ‘greeted’ them with banners reading “Go home, Pigs” and “Get out of Russia.”

Several men then reportedly stormed into the VIP section of the airport and attacked band members, with one of the attackers attempting to strangle one of them with an American flag. >>MORE<<
