On Friday, Josh Innes and friends accepted callers and their opinions blaming the alleged victim in the Nelson Agholor incident (which may turn out to be accurate). I wasn’t listening, and Jim tends to be more sensitive to such discussion than I am, so I can’t speak to the rightness or wrongness of his Tweets that followed. Lo:

Sometime after those Tweets, Innes went in on my employed and wished him death:

Josh Innes: “Adam just sent me a text, and this is not a shock but, is this guy associated with Kyle’s BS site? So, by the way, I’ve tried really hard to not go off on these guys, and I’m sure they’re baiting me. You know what? I’m not gonna do it. I’m not. I’m not gonna do it, because I actually have an audience and my life isn’t about reporting garbage. I’m not gonna do that, I’m not gonna go off on these morons.”

Someone: “Are you just the bigger man?”

Innes: “Oh eventually I’ll go off on it. Basically what you’ve got is people on Twitter from certain blogs … they’re what’s wrong with the world.”

“They’re what’s wrong with social media, it’s wrong. You take something that someone says, you make it sound definite, and you report on it [Ed. note: A tweet that wasn’t even @ him is as far from a “report” as you can get.] and you make it sound definite, this is what this guy said, then you get a bunch of retweets on it and you feel good about yourself.”

“I wish it were cool to wish death on people. I wish we could do that. There’s a lot of people I look at and I just wish they were dead. And the world would be better if they were. Why is that so uncool? … There are people that the world would be better if they didn’t exist. Some people should just be dead. And the world would be better if they were.”

The comment section certainly would be.
