[BC] KDND Verdict

[Broadcast List USER]

I am a huge flag waver for personal responsibility.  Without one KEY  
piece of information, I would agree that those drinking the water are  
responsible for themselves.

HOWEVER, a nurse called the shock-jocks and told them they were  
risking the lives of those in the contest.  They just dismissed her  
warning.  Her warning became the truth.

Without the nurse's warning, I would be on the fence, but with the  
nurse's warning, those shock-jocks killed the woman.  $16.5M frankly  
isn't enough.  The jocks' lives should be strapped financially, as  
should Entercom.  There just is no excuse for putting people's LIVES  
in jeopardy for a silly, on-air contest.
