Pretenders Frontwoman Calls For Assassination Of Businessmen
(12/11/02, 5 p.m. ET) -- Chrissie Hynde is at it again. The Pretenders
leader seems to be calling for the heads of some business leaders as a
solution to some of the world's economic problems.
Hynde, who says multinational corporations "are destroying the planet,"
tells Tower Records' Pulse magazine, "The last resort is for someone to go
in and actually take these guys out. Maybe it will have to be an
out-and-out assassination. When no one will listen anymore, then
individuals have to take the law into their own hands and it can get very
ugly. When some people decide to run the world for their own economic
interests, then someone has to take them out."
A spokesperson said Hynde's words were taken out of context, and that she's
certainly not suggesting that people commit murder.
The socially active Hynde, you might recall, caused a bit of a stir in 1989
when she suggested that people should firebomb McDonald's restaurants.
After someone attempted to do just that, she issued a retraction under
threat of legal action from the food chain. She was also arrested at a Gap
outlet in New York City in March 2000 after she and three cohorts from
People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) slashed some leather
clothing to protest the company's use of black-market leather from India
and China, which the Gap has since stopped.
