A Pittsburgh radio show host resigned Friday for threatening comments he made on Facebook and an on-air rant that bashed a local firearm store’s giveaway of an AR-15 package and firearm owners all-together.
Tim Benz who hosted 105.9 The X morning show on Thursday began an argument over Pittsburgh Tactical Firearm’s Facebook contest that was giving away an AR-15 and ammunition. Record of what was said on the show is not available, but those on the firearm store’s Facebook page said that the store’s owner Erik Lowry and “all supporters of tactical style firearms” were criticized by Benz on air.
A screenshot of a Facebook comment posted to Twitter also shows Benz under the 105.9 The X account threatening another commenter saying he thought “Obama’s idea of flying drones over America is an awesome one …so long as the drone is targeting your house. If he blew you away, he’d be doing us all a favor.”
