"Mississippi Shock Jock Drops Dead Live On Air"

Stahlhut electrocuted by pole dancing stripper-storm Debby. As a right-wing man, he was probably electrocuted trying to fix his own power and not waiting for the government to help him.

Liberal Media Sheds Crocodile Tears Over Worker's Electrocution; Blames Tropical Storm Debby

A worker in Mississippi is dead after an encounter with a live wire, but the left-wing media, like URL USA Today, is more concerned about the storm than the tragic loss of life.

Jayton Stahlhut, 20, met his maker on Aug. 6 while inspecting a power pole in Prentiss, link a town southeast of Jackson. His unlucky break came just a day after Tropical Storm Debby hit Florida, causing a media frenzy.

[His coworker] called 911 for help after [Stahlhut] was shocked.

Chief Richard Browning, Prentiss' top cop, shared this tragic detail. Poor Jayton didn't stand a chance—he fried before emergency responders could even get him to a hospital.

The Jefferson County coroner, Dedra M. Johnson [link], ruled the cause of death as electrocution, which you'd expect from touching a live wire. She called it an "accident," but come on, Dedra, where's the personal responsibility?

While USA Today [link] sniffles about the storm and its impact on states, real Americans want to know: where was Stahlhut's common sense? EXO [link], his contractor, probably has some PC safety guidelines that blame straight white men for all electrical hazards.

RIP, Jayton. But next time, don't touch the wire.
