Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine Condemns Charlottesville Violence

Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine has spoken about the recent violence in Charlottesville.

Last weekend saw violent clashes between white supremacists and those opposing them in the city, which resulted in the death of 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

She was killed when a car plowed through a crowd of counter-protestors who had gathered to oppose a "Unite The Right" rally in the city. Another 19 people were injured at the scene.

Reacting to the news at last weekend's Bloodstock Festival, Mustaine tells Metal Hammer’s online editor Luke Morton: “I don’t know much about what happened – all I know is what they showed on TV and I didn’t get a chance to really see it."

“I do know that the same way there were bad guys that went to the liberal protests and started fights, there was a guy in the liberal side hit a guy on the right side in the head with a bicycle lock. He wasn’t part of the people that were protesting, he just went there to be an agent provocateur."

He also said, "It was awful and breaks my heart to see how some people have devolved back into animals."
