Shock Jock Anthony Cumia Arrested For Strangling A Woman

The former “Opie and Anthony” shock jock who has often received a friendly platform on Fox News and Fox Business - even after he was fired from SiriusXM over racist tweets – has just been charged with strangling and assaulting a 26 year-old woman.

From Raw Story:

WPIX reported that the shock jock was taken into custody on Sunday after an altercation with the victim at his home in Roslyn Heights, New York.

Charges included “strangulation, criminal mischief, assault and unlawful imprisonment,” according to the station.

Cumia has quite a history of being a not-nice guy. He and Opie were fired from their Boston radio station in 1998 after an April Fool’s prank in which they reported that the mayor of Boston had been killed in a car accident. The two were fired again in 2002 for their role in a stunt involving a couple having sex in New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral. In 2014, Cumia got sacked yet again, this time from SiriusXM, after he made some racist tweets about a black woman who allegedly hit him in the face. He called her a “c*** animal” whom he hoped “a home boy beats her to death.” He also said “Savage violent animal f**** prey on white people.”

So what’s not to like if you’re Fox News? Cumia got a friendly platform on Fox to play the victim over “just speaking his mind” in the racial tweets. Since then, Fox sought out Cumia as a panelist attacking racial sensitivity on college campuses. In one clip, Cumia sits smiling, next to a panelist wearing a Native American headdress, as another panelist “joked” that students really need “insensitivity training.”

In November, Cumia’s website promoted four upcoming appearances on Fox Business and Fox News. A quick Google search uncovered appearances in August and in October on FBN as well.

Maybe Cumia could get hired by the Donald Trump campaign next.

No worries: I’m sure it was “legitimate” strangling — right, Todd Akin?

Here’s yer sandwich Tyson.

Opie and Anthony were seen leaving a motel room this morning. But that does not mean they are gay!!…, they just like to fuck each other.

Don Imus applied some preparation H on himself and disappeared.

…Don,… is that you?

Tyson, it’s not so funny to a person who’s actually got a job. You, on the other hand, probably find it literally laugh out loud funny because you DON’T have a job.

Go back under your bridge, troll.

@david Lindsay… you have a funked-up sense of humor (lack thereof) if you don’t find “Good morning! Hey, don’t bother to come in to work today, cuz you’re fired!!” funny.
That’s Comedy 101, hun. You need to loosen your chastity belt, lady.
UGH! All this yakking isn’t in the kitchen making me a sandwich!!! Do your job

So one of the duo that’s good buddies with the giant hemorrhoid under the big cowboy hat is arrested for assault of a woman.

I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you!!

Shock jocks are those assholes who call some poor schmoe and say, “Good morning! Hey, don’t bother to come in to work today, cuz you’re fired!!”
Ha

It’s always funnier when the station fires them.

Is it wrong that I’m shocked he’s made it this long without being arrested for assault? He’s pretty much the scum of the Earth on both sides of the air.

Merry Christmas, Ant- Enjoy your gift.
