From Think Progress: Radio Host Advocates Murdering Border Crossers [Excerpt]: Brian James of KFYI in Arizona recently advocated murder as a way of dealing with undocumented immigrants: " What we’ll do is randomly pick one night - every week - where we will kill whoever crosses the border. Step over there and you die. You get to decide whether it’s your lucky night or not. I think that would be more fun…[I’d be] happy to sit there with my high-powered rifle and my night scope."
At no time during this hour did Mr. James disavow violence or indicate he was joking. In fact, when one caller suggested Mr. James did not really mean he wanted to shoot and kill immigrants, Mr. James retorted that in fact he did mean it. Immediately after this exchange, Mr. James engaged the next caller in a discussion about the correct ammunition to use when shooting border crossers to make sure the shots would be fatal. The remarks prompted Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard and U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton to send a complaint to the FCC. [end excerpt] Will the FCC do anything about it? Why should they? It's not like he revealed his nipple or talked about sex, did he? You got to keep your priorities straight. . blog comments powered by Disqus |
