I actually called 911 after he mentioned the noose and the operator stated they were listening to the show also and were aware of the threat. How is it that nobody could not find or stop him even after he mentioned he was in the studio where he sprayed the extinguisher?
Didn't someone know where it is located to intervene?
Good job with the prayer under pressure. I thought it was great of you after being put on the spot by the gal from San Leandro. Reminded me of “Meet the Parents” And, your attempt to keep him on line and talking was reminiscent of a hostage negotiator. Maybe instead of coffee you should have offered some more beer since he was running low.
I support much of what he stated about the hypocrisies in the Christian faith. I feel for him and hope he will be OK.

Hello K-dub-K,
Yes, the station is trying to sweep it under the rug, I’m sure they are concerned
with the possibility that the FCC will be notified because of the improper words
he used. I saw another blog that was telling everyone to call the FCC. How unfortunate,
since this was an isolated one time one person occurrence.
I’m sure he is ok, at least at the time of going off the air. It was kind of
obvious that he was shut down by someone because his dialog did not have a normal
ending. It sounded cut off by someone. Also right before he stopped talking he said he took the rope off and because of the power of love that everyone was showing he decided not to hurt himself any longer. Apparently nobody from salem radio was listening that early morning. I’m sure he was the only one in the studio.
Concerning the hypocrites in the christian faith, as I tried to explain to him there
are hypocrites in every profesion of life and when there are some who live contrary to what they espouse, it is not indicative of how the rest of the people in the organization live or believe.
He mentioned he was tired of working for an organization that was opposite and which opposes the way he believes. I can understand, because several of the ministries that broadcast from kfax often speak against homosexuality especialy with all the same sex marriage stuff going on lately.
It was shocking to me to hear someone on a Christian radio (kfax) station trying to explain why they think it is ok to be homosexual. I disagree so when he gave the phone number I called in. Shortly after talking to him I realized that he was contemplate suicide so I focused more on trying to be a friend instead of debating the gay lifestyle. I was trying to get him to meet with me that morning and talk. It sounded like he was thinking about it so he put me on hold and was going to get back to me and was cut off before he could.
Life can be tough, and I have a lot of compassion for people struggling with issues,
and like the bible teaches... hate the sin, but love the sinner (addmittedly we
are all sinners).
