In 1987 Boulders Jann Scott started in talk radio on KTLK in Denver and quickly gained a reputation of irritating Boulder drug dealers, radical leftists and rightists. ” I worked with Peter Boyles and Ken Hamblin who were talk buddies of Bergs and they always warned me to be safe” Scott told Boulder Channel 1 news.”

According to Boulder Police departments records Scott reported over 15 death threats from 1987 to 2009.  One was from an mentally ill person John Hall who threatened to kill scott with the same rifle used to kill Kennedy.  Boulder PD contacted Hall at his Canyon ave apartment, but never arrested him and left him in possession of an arsenal of assault weapons.  Other threats to Scott came from Boulder mayors, city council members, CU students and marijuana dealers.  Scott said he has had to hire body guards from time to time and has been under police protection.

“There are crazy people who do not want people like me to speak my mind on talk radio or TV and Boulder has it’s share or radicals who will kill in order to stop free speech.  Jann Scott can currently be seen gabbing on BV22 on Comcast cable and at Jann Scott Live
