Watch the video. It's over an hour from before they started with the stunt until after the fire had been put out. It's hilariously bad.

[Ned_da_Janitor]

Shitt....I mean Schnitt repeatedly says "do not call the fire department" while the Fester guy is bugging him to.

I'd bet good money that Clear Channel fires MJ. This is all over the Tampa news websites. The comments are almost 99% anti-MJ.

Bubba gets an early Christmas present. The parodies alone should keep them busy until August, 2010.

[Silent Jesus]

So much Win...

It's just too bad it happened right before the break. Now we gotta wait to hear what Bubba and the boys have to say about it.

I think there's a good chance he might be charged in this as well... which should help in Bubba's defense against MJ I would imagine?

It will probably help Bubba's case if CC fires MJ because of the bad blood created between CC and MJ. Bubba has said that he thinks CC might be footing some of MJ's legal bills. I would think that goes away and MJ is on his own.

That is a long ass clip but you gotta hear MJ being the total pussy during it. He repeatedly tells Fester not to call the fire department and then tries to put all the blame on this Fester guy. He comes off like a complete bitch.

I've never listened to his show but it appears they've done similiar stunts with turkeys before. There is a 2008 one up on youtube. MJ can't say he didn't know this was gonna happen. It's his show.

Bubba should come on the air Monday just to gloat.

[Silent Jesus]

That would be epic if Bubba came back for a special live show just to bash MJ :lol:

These actions could result in some serious criminal charges. Whoever set the fire is at the least chargeable with Second Degree Arson (a felony) under Fl law.

806.01 Arson.--

(1) Any person who willfully and unlawfully, or while in the commission of any felony, by fire or explosion, damages or causes to be damaged:

(a) Any dwelling, whether occupied or not, or its contents;

(c) Any other structure that he or she knew or had reasonable grounds to believe was occupied by a human being,

is guilty of arson in the first degree, which constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(2) Any person who willfully and unlawfully, or while in the commission of any felony, by fire or explosion, damages or causes to be damaged any structure, whether the property of himself or herself or another, under any circumstances not referred to in subsection (1), is guilty of arson in the second degree, which constitutes a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

(3) As used in this chapter, "structure" means any building of any kind, any enclosed area with a roof over it, any real property and appurtenances thereto, any tent or other portable building, and any vehicle, vessel, watercraft, or aircraft.

806.031 Arson resulting in injury to another; penalty.--

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MJ and others on the show could be Principals for aiding before the fact.

777.011 Principal in first degree.--Whoever commits any criminal offense against the state, whether felony or misdemeanor, or aids, abets, counsels, hires, or otherwise procures such offense to be committed, and such offense is committed or is attempted to be committed, is a principal in the first degree and may be charged, convicted, and punished as such, whether he or she is or is not actually or constructively present at the commission of such offense.

MJ and others could also be charged as accessories after the fact.


777.03 Accessory after the fact.--

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

MJ alone could be charged with the following

877.15 Failure to control or report dangerous fire.--Any person who knows, or has reasonable grounds to believe, that a fire is endangering the life or property of another, and who fails to take reasonable measures to put out or control the fire when the person can do so without substantial risk to himself or herself, or who fails to give a prompt fire alarm, is guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083, if:

(2) The fire was started lawfully by the person or with his or her assent and was started on property in his or her custody or control.

Holy Shiz with a Z!

I really hope they do charge him - that would almost force CC to fire MJ

[Silent Jesus]

could any of those charges mean, if found guilty, he could face jail time?

I bet MJ is gone regardless. CC is about to go under. There are rumors that a bankruptcy filing may be made very soon. Some of CC's creditors are very very angry.

[Ned_da_Janitor]

All of them could, of course the felonies are much more serious.

Listen to that video. MJ is repeatedly arguing with the Fester guy "not to call the fire dept." I don't think the state would have any trouble getting the misd. failure to report conviction.

[Ned_da_Janitor]

Remember, 99 times out of 100 the person who tries to cover something up gets in worse trouble than the person who admits.

MJ screaming "dont call the fire department" over and over is gonna look very bad. LOL

[Silent Jesus]

Apparently that Fester guy has already been fired. (cred to Mugsy)
Looks like they got the damage control in effect

there's no spinning that in a positive way is there? :lol:

You gotta listen to that video. The only real damage control CC can do is terminate the entire show.


Start watching at about 22:00.

[Mugsytank]

MJ is married to a former prosecutor. She still has strong ties with the current admin. in the prosecutors office.:idk:

Doesn't matter. I've worked in a prosecutor's office. It's sometimes very political. Her former workmates won't do her any favors if push comes to shove.

There is already a lot of negative public reaction to this. Michelle's ties won't do her much good. MJ may be more cooked that that turkey.

Criminal charges? Who knows? I wouldn't have bet on criminal charges being filed in the hog situation. Bubba himself said the bad publicity almost forced the prosecutor to file charges.


I'll bet MJ gets canned though, regardless.

[Mugsytank]

I hope so.:lol:

[Ned_da_Janitor]

Right at the 25 min mark MJ says "no we don't need to do that" when one of the others says "we need to call the fire department". Then he repeatedly does it again.

[Mugsytank]

I wish we didn't have to wait till january to hear Bubba's opinions and info from informants.

[Silent Jesus]

the commercials on this station are brutal

[Mugsytank]

I bailed 20 minutes in because of the fucking commercials.:D

[Mugsytank]

Have a good nite .........again.:D

The reader comments are gold.

[Ned_da_Janitor]

LOL people are already bringing up Michelle's ties to the State Attorney's office and how she will attempt to get this covered up. The State Attorney isn't gonna be able to sweep this under the rug.

I'll wager some type of criminal charges get filed. The one for failure to report should be fairly easy to prove with MJ's comments on video, albeit it being only a misdemeanor.

The attempts by Schnitt to refrain from calling the fire department are going to look very, very bad. Those are the comments of someone who knows he is going to be in serious trouble if the fire fighters show up.

[Silent Jesus]

Those comments are great.

also noticed this in them - http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/tampa-police-charge-registered-sex-offender-with-69-counts-of-using-a/1059115 not to get off topic - but the comments on that one are just wow

[Ned_da_Janitor]

I wouldn't doubt that Florida may also have some type of statute that makes it a crime to attempt to prevent someone from calling police or fire in an emergency.

[Ned_da_Janitor]

I bet amateur lawyer Brent's fingers are worn out from researching all this tonight. LOL

[Chob]

There is so much delicious irony in all this. I bet Bubba is dying to get on air, blood coughing and all, to discuss this again.

[Chob]

I'll bet MJ gets canned though, regardless.
I was thinking this yesterday. CC will use any excuse to can him at this point, and this way MJ can blame it on something other than shit ratings.

[Chob]

I want to hear Manson belt out a parody to this.

Yet another article about it.
