Right-Wing Radio Host Advocates Murdering Border Crossers

Right-wing radio host Brian James of KFYI in Arizona recently advocated murder as a way of dealing with undocumented immigrants. An excerpt:

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… happy to sit there with my high-powered rifle and my night scope.


The remarks prompted Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard and U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton to send a complaint to the FCC. Here’s a portion:

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.

This type of threatening and inciting speech is dangerous and totally irresponsible for anyone, particularly a licensed body using public airways.

1. Ummmmm.....

So whom would they prefer clean their bathrooms and toilets? After all a fair wage for american workers is out of the question......

[BOSSHOG]

2. No doubt

Brian James has a tiny penis to go along with his tiny brain. He's a badassmotherfucker behind that microphone. And every day he entertains those who don't deserve constitutional liberties.

[Why Syzygy]

3. He and Ann Coulter

must have the same degree. Dangerous Stupidity.

[movonne]

4. This is very dangerous thing..I would think that the Homeland security

should go out and arrest anyone who advocates murder..there are lots of nuts out there and this is exciting violence..

[Dhalgren]

9. DHS is too busy staking out middle schools to be concerned

with some threat to life...

[Spirochete]

5. If this asshole likes to shoot brown people

why isn't he over in Iraq, I wonder...

[yellowcanine]

8. Because the Eye rackis will shoot back and burn his sorry ass.

[tjwash]

6. Yes, but we here at DU are the unamerican facists according...

...to people of that sort of mindset.

The truly stunning and sad part, is that enough people in our rapidly declining country, actually think enough like this piece of human filth, to justify him having a time slot on a radio station.

[yellowcanine]

7. I hope they yank the effin license on that radio station. Or at least

slap down a big fine for every time the dickhead makes threats on the air.

[Ganja Ninja]

10. Killing is only wrong if it involves a fetus. n/t

[Beelzebud]

11. I suppose he's pro-life? :D

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Where's the AFC to file a million complaints to the FCC? I really once

believed it was against the law to threaten people on the air waves. Must have had that confused with graphic, simulated sex.

13. radio

and yet it is Howard Stern who gets fined. While Stern is sometimes despicable, i'm sure he never advocated killing someone. There should be some law this idiot is guilty of

[goclark]

14. Is he arrested yet for "breaking the law"

or can he just go around saying any damn thing he wants to to incite bigots?

[Gold Metal Flake]

15. Note: No corps hiring thousands of crossers for decades were threatened.

Demonize the people, exalt the oppressors.

People like Brian James are the enemies of peace, justice and freedom.

[MindPilot]

16. Christianity at work: Advocating murder is perfectly ok...

but don't you dare show a breast or use the word "tit" to describe it. That would corrupt the morals of good god-fearin' mucans.

[BrklynLiberal]

17. Oh? Another right-to-lifer I assume?

HYPOCRITES!!!!!!

:puke:

[Rocknrule]

18. Come on, it's only terraism

if a Dem or a Muslim says/does it

Anyone who advocates killing THEM, on the other hand, is a Murikan Hero

[Xenotime]

19. they are just taking after *....

"Do it my way or I'll kill you."
