Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy, who also runs Decaydance has responded to the arrest of Decaydance act Gym Class Heroes in St.Louis in his blog.

You know what? You call my friend a “n_gger”, I dont even give a fuck what happens to you. I dont want to see you in this scene. I dont want to see you at shows. You are who we write songs about. You are who we think about when we hate. Radiohead, “Karma Police” over and over again in my head.

What a joke. You are fucking pathetic and anyone that disagrees should put their white hood on too. I don’t want your ticket money. I don’t want your cd sales. Id rather be poor and unknown.

I wasn’t there and all I have to go on is the account of one of my best friends and all I ever want to do is support them. There is no further need for me to blow this out of proportion. I hate hearing people called that word. It makes me cringe. Thats all. Kind of like at the end of the Chapelle show when people were laughing at the racist jokes rather than at the satire of them.

Gym Class Heroes lead singer Travis McCoy was arrested last night in St. Louis, MO on one charge of third-degree assault. The band was just one song into their Warped Tour set when an audience member called McCoy a racial slur. McCoy responded by alledgedly hitting the assailant with his microphone.
