Jamie Allman lands himself in hot water with tweet about hot poker

Source: St Louis Post Dispatch

St. Louis radio and TV personality Jamie Allman has landed in hot water with a tweet about his desire to assault Parkland student David Hogg with a hot poker.

Hogg has been a subject of criticism from pro-gun rights advocates since he and other Parkland students began speaking out and organizing rallies. The students are advocating for stronger gun laws after 19-year-old gunman Nikolas Cruz took the lives of 17 people at the school.

Allman's Twitter account is now "locked," which means anyone who wants to see his tweets first has to request his permission to follow him.

A screenshot of the controversial tweet, sent at 9:56 p.m. on March 26, began making its way around social media this week and was the subject of a story in the Riverfront Times, the St. Louis alt-weekly, on Friday.

Yesterday indicating that I will no longer tune in their channel and that he needs to go. Frankly there is nothing on that station that I do watch. KDNL since it first appeared on the broadcast scene in the 1960s has been one to run in 8th place in a 3 person race in my opinion.

This subhuman is worse than a sick fuck. I believe what he said constitutes a death threat.

4. Another article: Jamie Allman Vows to 'Ram a Hot Poker' Up Parkland Student's Ass
Sun Apr 8, 2018, 07:39 AM
Apr 2018

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.

Like other conservative commentators, Allman — whose platforms include a morning radio show at 97.1 FM and The Allman Report on the ABC affiliate KDNL — has been critical of Hogg's role in urging a boycott of Fox News pundit Laura Ingraham, who last week took to Twitter to mock the teen for being rejected by several colleges. Ingraham was subsequently accused of bullying Hogg for cheap attention, and since then a dozen advertisers have removed themselves from Ingraham's show.

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."

Conservatives who love torture always come up with these sexual depictions of torture. A lot of their real torture, like what W authorized, is sexual. Abu Ghraib prison when controled by W's forces was filled with painful sexual acts inflicted on the innocent. What is it with RepubliCONS having fantasies about sadistic sexual acts?

This is the response of the "gun jumpers" - I think you meant "gun humpers". (Auto spell check probably deserves the credit for switching that around.)


How will the tRdump humpers respond once they realize tRdump has been fully rejected - November 2018 will leave little ambiguity - Mueller dragging his ass into court and humiliating a sitting president - how violently will Trump humpers respond ?

Again - unless you're seriously mentally damages wtf?



Reminds me of ...

Sitting on the park bench
Eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot is running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.

Hey Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Hey Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Whoa, Aqualung

how far we have plummeted in human decency as a nation under the Republican “rule”.

There has always been a very disturbing sexually toned deviancy well earned by the historic actions, words and agendas of multitudes of conservative or evangelical persons. The entitlement is nauseating.

Be it the obsessive control over every woman’s body and reproduction or humiliating tortures or as in this case proudly vile sexually crass violence threatened against a young student whose cause is for the safety of his fellow humans.

The wretches of this country have been openly enabled.

Time to change that. Well beyond time.
