72. I wouldn't say hope, but I wouldn't have any sympathy for the guy either.

I recall years ago some local radio hosts had a discussion about a child torturer and murderer Donald Mcdougall. He was killed less than a week later in prison.


Fm Station Sued Over Slaying Of Child Killer
Real Radio's Shock Jocks Are Accused Of Broadcasting A Reward For The Death Of Donald Mcdougall In A 1996 Program.
October 2, 1998|By Debbie Salamone Wickham of The Sentinel Staff

An Orlando radio station is being sued over a 1996 broadcast in which callers talked of killing an imprisoned child murderer, who later wound up dead.

Donald McDougall's survivors blame his demise on The Russ and Bo Show, broadcast on Real Radio 104.1, WTKS-FM. The lawsuit, filed this week in federal court in Tampa, accuses the radio station of causing emotional distress and a wrongful death.

McDougall was notorious for the 1982 torture killing of 5-year-old Ursula Sunshine Assaid in Altamonte Springs. The blond-haired child was abused for several months and then dumped in a pond after her death. McDougall was serving time at Avon Park Correctional Institution in Polk County when fellow inmate Arba Earl Barr beat him to death with an iron horseshoe stake on Oct. 1, 1996.

I heard the show and the news days later. I have a hard time condoning vigilante justice, but I haven't an iota of sympathy for the man.
