The current lineup of the Cro-Mags has released their official statement regarding former bassist Harley Flanagan’s assault on the band last week:
“WE… as a band are truly sorry for the way it all turned out in every regard even the ex-member who’s family is now effected by his choices. Our prayers go out to them as well as Mike C., and the others who were hurt, but it was “his” choice to come to our concert with a hunting knife, standing by our dressing door. Who knows what his actual intent was, obviously he wasn’t there with it to cut bread for a peace offering as he was heard saying outside he was putting an end to us playing without him. Let’s move on now & stop the trash-talking. Keep that PMA – that’s what we are all about.”
Witnesses are now reporting that Flanagan shouted something to the affect of ““They think they’re going to play my f*ing music that I helped write?” before attacking.
