This site's news page is reporting that, if convicted, Russ faces 20 years in prison...

KLLI's Russ Martin returns to radio following his assault arrest
His show in Dallas has been off the air for the last 6 days following his July 18 arrest for allegedly assaulting his fiancee and brandishing a weapon. KLLI-FM (105.3) afternoon host Russ Martin was back on the air Monday afternoon. He did not comment on his arrest during his show, but the Dallas Morning News says Martin's expected to stay on the air "for the foreseeable future."

Narcissism, grandiosity (self-importance not based on achievments)
May state readily that their goal is to rule the world


ie see Russ Martin

Ya know, I'm having a difficult time just saying that Russ has suddenly become evil incarnate. I do believe this incident occurred and likely it wasn't the first time, but because we've heard many examples of the looooong list above during Russ' many years ON THE AIR doesn't mean that he is that way in his real life. I think we can all agree that Russ is an intelligent guy and that he hangs out with some pretty darn intelligent people [and some real doofus' too]. Its just as likely that he'd seen something similar to the profile above and geared his on air persona accordingly. A true sociopath is adept at HIDING the above traits. A true sociopath isn't going to talk about the fact that he treats his parents badly or screams at his girlfriend. Now I suppose that its possible that he really did all those things but that outwardly OFF AIR when things are supposed to be real to the people who know him he does hide his sociopathic tendencies and saves on air for letting the real stuff out. A psychologist might know whether a true sociopath would get a kick out of that sort of duality, I wouldn't know. What is the name of that Psychiatrist that he has on sometimes? Maybe we could ask him

Re: Who's the Boss?

So you are already saying he is guilty. Who knows this could be a big lie from amy. But you are already saying the man is guilty. In all honesty the money he makes that station and CBS radio you are going to need a MASSIVE national campign to get anyones attention. His adviritziers spelling I know. Are not judging him. They seem to be waiting for the courts to decide if he is guilty or not.

I am not going to say guilt or not cause the man has not had is day in court. Until then he is innocent.

C

I'm saying we do not need a jock on terra radio who repeatedly jokes about displaying acts of violence towards others, on the public airwaves.

Re: Russ IS LIVE Today

Ok so let me get this straight. You have NEVER in your whole life said "I could kill you" or "I'm going to kick your butt"? You've never said anything like this either in frustration or just being silly? You don't know anyone in your life that makes comments like this without really meaning anything by them???

Re: Who's the Boss?

Their boss is Dan Mason

It is possible that it is [email protected]... I know locally you can get to Brian Purdy at [email protected]... Try both. ;D

 

[dfwyall]

from googling it ...it shows as [email protected]

Dr Thornton is the doc you are referring to.

[If convicted, he faces 20 years in prison.

I already said that last week. The punishment for a 2nd degree felony in the state of Texas calls for a term of no less than 2 and no more than 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $50,000.

That's beside the point here.

Be that as it may, jokes about beating people up on public radio airwaves is like a rated R film airing on public TV, without first editing the flick for TV. I wonder how many domestic violence types would use this situation as a free pass for their own actions? All in all, DV jokes on public airwaves, is poor taste programming.

 

[tex192]

Let me start by saying that, yes, I am a RMS fan and I have been for the past 7 or 8 years...with that said I'll admit that I am also a new comer to this board or any other board for that matter, I found this site after I found out about Russ and news reports that came out in hopes of finding out some more information.

After reading this board for the last week or so I have to say that I have never seen so many people that are so self-righteous, benevolent, and really just altogether pompous in their remarks about something that really know little to nothing about. Yes there is an arrest affadavit and news stories and several other documents/facts out there about what is alledged to have happened, and I won't pretend that any of that is alright or anything less of deplorable if its true. But the simple fact is that we do not know if any of it is exactly as it appears.

For all of you that say you dont listen...why do you care? Oh thats right you care because of the victim...ok fair enough...I dont buy it for a second, but if thats the route you want to take then sobeit. For those of you that "tuned in for 5 mins and couldn't take and had to turn it off"...why? Just so you could get pissed off and spew venom in a public forum? Oh that's right you're probably in it for the greater good of all DV victims as well...sure. How bout we focus on those that we KNOW are victims of DV? Thats not quite as fun is it? Stop masking your outrage behind some "cause" you fein interest in. I will say that if he is found to be guilty in this or any other violence against anyone especially a woman, I will be done with Russ Martin, but until then, until we know ALL the facts what good does it do to tear someone down for the sake of tearing someone down, unless, that is, you have an alterior motive...which I suspect many of you do.

Lastly, how many of you have ever been accused of something you didnt do? I guessing almost all of us have...I certainly have never been accused of anything on this same scale, but I have been accused and I know its brutal to be accused of something you didnt do, and maybe, just maybe thats the case here...seems fair to wait and see.

Anywho, thats all I have...blast away!

He'll get out of it. He's a high profiled personality that supports the police.

Is it just DV that isn't allowed or is it all violence? Also, infering violence or jokes about it do not earn an R rating in a movie. You might want to look up exactly what it takes to earn those ratings. There are plenty of tv and radio programs that deal with such issues. Are they all improper or just RMS? And who decides exactly what is improper? I've never heard anything on the show that would qualify for an R rating.

Re: Russ IS LIVE Today

Russ Fans,
Wake Up and smell reality!

Sure. Reality is that we don't know anything for sure, other than a police report was made, and arrest was made, and charges have been filed and the case accepted.

Russ has been charged with a 2nd degree felony with a deadly weapon and the evidence is strong against him.

Great, let's see it. An affidavit alone is not strong evidence.

Russ's case has been accepted by the Tarrant Couny DA and they have a 90% conviction rate.

So? I know the DA would like to maintain a high conviction rate, as any prosecuting law firm. It's good for business. They do it by taking cases that they think they can win. But statistics are a result of outcomes. They do not influence independent events, which would introduce bias. Russ' trial is an independent event. You have taken a course in stats, no?

Get over your Love affair and quit tarnishing your character by supporting this criminal.

I'm sorry, has he been convicted already? I hadn't heard.

When you listen for long stretches of time and laugh at his crude and violent talk you condone his behavior, but you let everybody else know you agree with it and may even be just like him.

Are you practicing, working up for a big slander suit yourself someday?

Quit contributing to his ratings so this embarrassment to the DFW radio scene will end. Amen...please stop with the Religious overtones..this isn't KLTY...this is Russ you said Amen about so please stop.

What an angry person you are. You and Russ have a lot in common.

 

[TheRover]

In the meantime.......

Russ should seek to interview Batman star Christian Bale.....

They may not know it yet... but they have something in common....

[redbullfan]

Russ Fan: Are your feelings hurt...you feel uneasy that I questioned your character as you should be. You should be ashamed that you find it acceptable in your soul and spirit that what Russ says and behaves as is acceptable. You should feel uneasy about supporting someone that is soon to be a convicted criminal. Why do you want to associate yourself with a Psyco-path.

Reality: Case Filed and accepted. 90% convictions rate there(what was that babble trying to explain that away).

Evidence: The victim had a chunk of hair missing and sizable bruises as law inforcement reported. Sounds like solid evidence to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The gun being involved makes it even worse.

You may not be like him, but listening to him and laughing along with his trash could influence you to become like him if you haven't already displayed that in your life somehow that only you, a current or former lover and God.

The fact that Russ does those things then jokes about doing them on the air is what makes him a sociopath.

Re: Russ IS LIVE Today

y is that we don't know anything for sure, other than a police report was made, and arrest was made, and charges have been filed and the case accepted.

Great, let's see it. An affidavit alone is not strong evidence.

Unless he can get Amy not to testify, he is going to have to plea bargain or be found guilty. I think there is LITTLE chance he is not found guilty if Amy takes the stand against him. And that is all that affidavit is, a record from her of what happened.

We have no knowledge that Amy would have made something like this up, nor do we have any reason to believe she would ever make something like this up.

You can't downplay the actions of someone else simply because you are wishfully hoping for a different outcome for someone you like. You have to review her situation, her motivation and everything you do and do not know about her. And when you do that, again we don't know much but we also have zero evidence that she would have any reason to make any of this up.

So she goes to court as an extremely strong witness. Add that to the fact that Russ' arrogance is not going to be hidden from a jury, when it is a conflict like this in a courtroom, I don't care how fancy his lawyers are, he has got very little chance.

I suspect it will all end up in some kind of plea bargain deal.

 

[RussFan]

Russ Fan: Are your feelings hurt...you feel uneasy that I questioned your character as you should be.

Actually, my character is just fine, thank you. I'm not the one making blanket statements about other people. I am one of the few of the posters that seem to have faith in the judicial system in this country, as any red-blooded American should. If Russ is (not) guilty, then the jury will find him so. The reasonable doubt standard was established to protect our freedom.

You should be ashamed that you find it acceptable in your soul and spirit that what Russ says and behaves as is acceptable. You should feel uneasy about supporting someone that is soon to be a convicted criminal. Why do you want to associate yourself with a Psyco-path.

I don't agree with murder, but I'll read mystery novels. I don't agree with Communism, but I've read Mao and Marx. I don't agree with everything Russ says or does either, but I still think he is funny. I also don't take him seriously - it's an act.

Reality: Case Filed and accepted. 90% convictions rate there(what was that babble trying to explain that away).

Here you go --> http://www.amazon.com/Statistics-Dummies-Deborah-Rumsey/dp/0764554239

An overall 90% conviction rate doesn't translate into a 90% probability of a conviction for a single case.

Evidence: The victim had a chunk of hair missing and sizable bruises as law inforcement reported. Sounds like solid evidence to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evidence that she was injured, yes. This is not proof (read that word to yourself again and again, please) beyond a reasonable doubt that the altercation happened as Amy reported it or that Russ was actually involved at all for that matter.

The gun being involved makes it even worse.

You think? What's the phrase, "Gun Crime Means Hard time"? I get a feeling that the real-life Russ respects guns a little more than these allegations would lead you to believe.

You may not be like him, but listening to him and laughing along with his trash could influence you to become like him if you haven't already displayed that in your life somehow that only you, a current or former lover and God.

You know, you're right. I don't use his material, but I've learnt a lot from his timing and delivery. People around the office love my jokes now.

Assuming your screen name is true and by your own logic, you should be ashamed that you find it acceptable in your soul to be supporting the infamous Chaleo Yoovidhya(49% owner of Red Bull), whose economic oppression of the Thai people is legendary! Why do you want to associate yourself with a 'Psyco-path' [sic]?
