Take a Hikey, Mikey
Like I said, I am here in support of kids, who I feel were done an injustice. I belive Kaplan got fired for slander, he made derogatory comments towards a womans character that were not true. Mikey's comments directly resembled the character Mr. Capone demonstrated in that situation. I think it's a little different. I really do appreciate your time in response regarding this matter. It shows you care about what you write. I have said my piece, have a nice day! Sicnerely Bryan Herness— March 18, 2012 6:14 p.m.

Mr Leighton, First I would appreciate you not putting words in my mouth. You know that I used "Should be shot" as an expression. Also one that referred to attempting to steal money from kids with autism not because they didn't play commercials. Nice try. Lets try and be civilized and stick to the facts here, if that is possible. That is the nature of this forum, is it not. I will try to make this simple for you to understand. Fact #1 Capone purposely tried to compete with the Mikeython directly during the hours that it ran. I think that makes it related not seperate. Fact #2 Mikey stated the facts. And his comments back that up. Slander requires a false statement. Fact #3 We live in America, where we have the right to free speech. Which is how you are able to write your comments on the topic as well. I am pretty sure that falls under the First Amendment. And Fact #4 Stealing money from little kids is and always will be wrong. Morals still exist Mr. Leighton. Defending little kids with austism doesn't make you a monster. Stealing from little kids makes you a monster. Sorry I think that last sentence makes fact #5 Now for my personal opinion, you should be ashamed of attempting to defend such an act. I am not here to defend Mikey but to give a voice to someone who cannot do it for them self. "Give a voice" is another expression fyi. Show some respect "Dude," those kids are people too. Next time I hear someone wants to advertise directly against a fundraiser I will be sure to let them know that there is someone in their corner to support them. Again "someone in their corner" is an expression...fyi Not that it matters but I don't believe you have audio of "the rant". 94.9 claims to not have audio of the show. I find it hard to believe that someone else recorded it on their own. Feel free to prove me wrong though. Sincerely Bryan Herness— March 18, 2012 5:32 p.m.

Dear Mr. Leighton, I read your article and a majority of the comments following. I do not care about your opinion on anything else except the Garrett Capone "Rant" that you talk about. I heard it live on the radio. From what I have read, I cannot tell if you heard it for yourself or you heard about it from a third party. I can't express how deeply I disagree with you. If anyone tried to advertise for personal gain over a fundraiser that helps children, they would be ridiculed. They should also be shot. It would be like Perez Hilton trying to get people to not watch the Kony 2012 video so he can get more hits. Mr. Capone is lucky Mikey didn't let people who could ruin his career know what he did, for example the SD Union Tribune or some other main stream media. I really don't know how it did not get out to a bigger media source. You don't mess with raising money for kids who desperately need it and You, Mr. Leighton, surely are aware of this. To defend someone of that character is asinine. Sicerely, Bryan Herness— March 18, 2012 7:50 a.m.
