“We ran but didn’t know where we were,” Galindo said of the flight from the Bataclan. They jumped into a taxi that took them to the police station, where they also found concertgoers covered in blood.
“They[the perpetrators]wanted to silence the music, or the joie de vivre, but they failed,” said Jesse Hughes. Hughes, who is known as a conservative Christian, had caused a stir in the early years after the attack in the Bataclan by insinuating that the security of the hall was involved in the attack and that it was a major Muslim conspiracy. But today he said in court that he was able to forgive the terrorists, “those poor souls.” “I pray for them and for their souls,” he said.
Hughes ended his testimony with a quote from rocker Ozzy Osbourne: “You can’t kill rock’n’roll”.
