Local Radio Host Pulled from Airwaves...

In one of the latest episodes of derangement in St Louis, we see that J.C.Corcoran seems to have finally lost it.

He's a local (some say, has-been) radio jockey who recently repudiated Archbishop Burke and the Catholic Church (See these posts).

From local TV station KSDK, we read:

KSDK - A local radio personality has been taken off the air for comments he made about Ameren executives.

J.C. Corcoran was upset his power went out during the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Corcoran had some choice words for Ameren executives during his Monday show on KHITS 96.

He made reference to one of the company's Vice President's, Richard Mark, who is African-American.

"Yeah, that's right," said Corcoran. "I am running the power company over here. It's like a black power thing. You get it, that's my junk man. Get it, black power."

Corcoran also expressed his anger with Ameren's public relations department using a term describing male anatomy.

He then took comments a step further by saying, "You publicity obsessed public relations nightmare people, who I swear I am going to get on top of your building with an AK-47 and just start picking people off."

Thomas Voss, the Chief Executive Officer of Ameren says Corcoran's comments were inappropriate.

"You know the violence comment, was just totally inappropriate especially coming after a weekend of violence across the country," said Voss. "We had the shootings in Chicago, the killings in Chicago, the shooting in Chesterfield. It was on the minds of everyone. Then, to come out and make a statement like that on Monday morning was just totally inappropriate."

Ameren says they have increased security and St. Louis police are investigating.

Ameren has filed a complaint with KHITS 96.

A vice president at KHITS told NewsChannel 5's Cordell Whitlock, Corcoran was pulled from the air Thursday morning and station executives are deciding their next move.

KSDK Link here. You can hear his 'rage' as he mocks Ameren's Vice President, Richard Mark, in some wild, deranged "Afro-speak."

And his comments about killing people with an AK-47 were beyond reprehensible. As reported before, this man seeems to have no problem expressing bigotry and this only confirms a virulent hypocrisy...

Another soul for whom to pray, especially during this season of Lent...May God grant him the graces to soften his heart.

HT to Patty for the link.
