(13,527 posts)Known for his "heat phone" and pro-Trump bent, St. Louis radio and TV host Jamie Allman is now facing calls for boycott over a tweet indicating his desire to introduce a heated fireplace implement to the ass of a Parkland shooting survivor.
The student, seventeen-year-0ld David Hogg, has been a vocal advocate of gun control.

But even before the Ingraham controversy broke, the role of Hogg and other Parkland shooting survivors in the national gun debate was raising complicated questions, as pundits across the conservative spectrum have argued that the teens shouldn't be protected from criticism simply because of their age and status as victims of a traumatic mass shooting.
Granted, that's a much nicer way to put it than Allman did last week, when he hopped on Twitter to boast that he was "getting ready to ram a hot poker up David Hogg's ass."

Too late.
Even at a Sinclair station, this should and probably will get him fired.

(26,311 posts)The old hot poker insertion because it left the corpse, for the most part, unmarked. It is now believed that wasn't the actual method of his removal from the throne, but it made for some interesting suppositions.

May not be correct, but hopefully they will direct it appropriately. You don't need my words. I'm sure you can think of your own. And, no, I did not use any bad words.

Gentlemen:
As a lifetime resident of the St. Louis Metro Area and a consumer of news and programing. I am deeply disturbed by the recently reported statements of your commentator, Jamie Allman with regards to sodomizing a Survivor of the Parkland High School Shooting of February 14th with a hot poker as reported by the Riverfront Times. This type of vicious hate driven sensationalism is beyond reprehensible for anyone, much less a allegedly professional adult. I urge you to address Mr. Allam's mean spirited behavior which is simply beyond absurd and terminate him forthwith.
I and my wife are going to not only tune out KDNL but will share our decision to do so the friends and neighbors with whom we have daily contact and those with whom we contact via social media.
Most Sincerely,
BobTheSubgenius
