Dodge Nitro? No big loss.

DrForrester: Dodge Nitro? No big loss.

Came to say this.

Robert T. Nash gets thrown off the air for this? No big loss.

The driver's side door was opened? Well, there goes the insurance claim on that. Unlocked vehicle, preventable incident.

Mr. Nash said, "I think it is ridiculous that the head of a law enforcement agency would actually believe, let alone be foolish enough to assert, that something I said led to the burning of a car. After all, I do 15 hours of live radio every week using my real name. I proudly proclaim my Brainerd residency, my home telephone number with street address is published in the print and online telephone directory, and I have been known to give out my own home address - 3623 Lerch Street - On Air. I can't resist pointing out no harm has ever come to me, my wife, our pets or our property."

How many people have you put into prison that might have an axe to grind with you dumbass? Maybe your wife scares them away.

FTA: I think it is ridiculous that the head of a law enforcement agency would actually believe, let alone be foolish enough to assert, that something I said led to the burning of a car.

And you are a moron for thinking that you can say what you want with no repercussions. People this stupid shouldn't be allowed near a mic.

insurance scam?

ajgeek: The driver's side door was opened? Well, there goes the insurance claim on that. Unlocked vehicle, preventable incident.

'Cause no one would ever think of breaking the window and opening the door to torch it.

/of course we don't know that either

Why is it any of the talkshow tool's business who the Chief of Police dates?

It might have been instructive to know why broadcasting that information was so critical. Maybe Mr. Radio Guy was trying to be 'edgy'?

Fark 'edgy'. Privacy is privacy. For all of us.

"Mr. Nash said, "I think it is ridiculous that the head of a law enforcement agency would actually believe, let alone be foolish enough to assert, that something I said led to the burning of a car."

Giving out a single woman's home address on air? You sir are a douchenozzle.

Mr. Microphone deserves a couple of cockpunches for putting anyone else's private info on the air besides his.

Mr. Nash said Chief Cooper's assertion "appears to be yet another link in a long chain of events that seemingly suggest Mr. Cooper is not an effective leader, going so far as to suggest the chief may be suffering from paranoia. "I know law enforcement is a stressful occupation.

Paranoia?!? Was the car burned or wasn't it?
I hope Anonymous gets ahold of this. He needs a lesson in reality.

Can someone explain why he doesn't like the Chief of police dating a single female?

narcolepticjim: Someone is going to consider that a dare.

I certainly hope so.

Single women should be treated differently?

Note to self...

As "a legitimate member of the working media," it looks as if the talk show host abused the open records law for the sake of ratings.

That's the kind of candy-ass crap that pushes people into letting it be chipped away, piece by piece. Nash committed one of the worse sins of the profession.

/Yeah, I know. Sins-of-the-profession memes coming up in 3, 2...

Maybe He hit on her and she shot him down letting him know he was an ugly douche. Which is why he is probably pissy she's dating the Chief

Or not only that, wouldn't the talk host say that in his defense instead of ranting how he offers his own information also on air?

So the sheriff lying when he says that all of that info about the girl was given out on air? Because if so it's a pretty stupid lie, considering how easy it would be to verify or disprove it.

This seems like he doesn't like the PC and is such a creep that he's announcing the PC's soft target.

This isn't city business. Nor is it a married woman in a cuckold scandal. There doesn't appear to be a legitimate reason to do this.

We've seen slime-like Malkin types do this, but at least they named the hard target. Not the children / dates / elderly matrons of the hard target, IIRC.

Mama's Boy: Can someone explain why he doesn't like the Chief of police dating a single female?

Possibly because (FTFA):

Ms. Millsaps became an employee of the police department on Feb. 9
working as a records clerk.

If she was hired after starting a relationship with the chief, it smells pretty badly of patronage. If she was an existing employee and they started dating, there are some pretty intense ethics questions there, too.

FTFA: Chief Cooper said later Friday, "Talk Show host Robert T. Nash did not just talk about April Millsaps on his show, but he actually gave her name, age, date of birth, home address, and cell number on the air.

Is this a lie? What's the backstory between these two? I mean, other than 'local radio-talk show guy' trying to get ratings, make a name for himself, get noticed, get syndicated, etc., by being an obnoxious ass... that's a given, everywhere.
But besides all that, was the Chief supposedly banging this chick on the public dime, or what?

Actually the radio host never gave out her private information

Funny, in the article the radio host seems to admit doing it. He claims it's publicly available information.

But if he's your hero, let's pretend he can do no wrong. That's OK with me.

It depends on who wrote the article and whether they decided to include Nash's advising so. The story is sexier if they make it seem like Nash actually gave out the private information. Nash is no hero of mine, but the only person in the article that says that Nash gave out anything is the Chief... the Article does not independently confirm it.

Nash looks like a gay poetry writer,



and I don't really enjoy his show, I just happened to be listening at the time and am calling out the author of the Article on a party foul.

So, the Sheriff, who is not at all involved in this story, is a douche. Is the Chief a Police a douche too? Because it was the Chief of Police who was involved. If the Sheriff is a douche then he should have picked his fight with the Sheriff, not the Chief. But, my guess is that you didn't RTFA.

Either way, he released information about a person who was doing no actual harm to anyone and the only thing that could come of this is harm to the girl. You say he never released that information, but he admits to releasing it. Hell, they could arrest him on charges of accessory to a felony unless it can be proven that this was a random act.

Just because it was Chattanooga and ratings were involved:



Couldn't determine the ethnicity April Millsaps, but I would bet a month of TotalFark that it's closer to Nash than Cooper.

She's got two kids: Run Chief! Run!

Just to add fuel to the fire, here's an article on Chief Freeman Cooper's son.

http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_146218.asp

Although Robert T is just a firebrand with a mic, the Cooper family is a real group of crooks.

/slash for fun!
//Lives in Chattanooga, hates the corruption.
///There is more to it than we know right now.

Gah, not the Chief's son; sorry. The son of a cop who pushed down a 70-some year old Wal-Mart greeter.

Whoops.

Fixed, my bad. Chief was having hanky panky with a woman on his staff... Nash pointed it out and someone torched the woman's car. Nash did not give out her personal information on-air. The Chief was lashing out at Nash for exposing the relationship.

Actually Nash did give out the information. He even admitted doing it. Just because you listened to a few minutes of this moron rant on air doesn't mean you have the complete transcript of everything the guy said all week.

Shoulda torched it too.

Malkin publishes phone and personal info of SAW (new window)

Ok...

Link one is e-mails and phone numbers (no foul there)
Same for link 2(no foul there)

Publicly available phone numbers is not the same thing as car types, license plates and home addresses.

So yes, please go on.

So you're saying you have heard every minute of this man's radio show since this thing started?
Or are you saying that you just never heard him say these things while you were listening?
There is a huge difference. And A != B in this case.

What I am saying is that I happened to be listening to the show in question, where the smack talk was going down...

He has a tendency to be a "watchdog" for any elected official in the Chattanooga area. I have heard him call out other local politicians for other stuff as well, in one instance he uncovered that one city council member did not really live in the district they were chosen to represent (look up Marti Rutherford). Nash has a history of this kind of stuff. That's the lense I am looking at this current situation through.

candy ass-crap.

If douchebag didn't expect one of his listeners to visit harm upon this woman, what earthly reason would he have for publicizing her personal information? Did he expect people to send her flowers?

He had no other reason to do this except to hope that someone would cause her harm.
