The soap opera that is Black Flag sees Ron Reyes claim Greg Ginn threatened his family

Coming as a surprise to no one who’s been following the unending stream of Black Flag news over the past year, the recently fired Ron Reyes has now claimed that founding guitarist Greg Ginn threatened Reyes’ family prior to letting him go.
