A WSYR Radio listener wrote, "I have always enjoyed listening to Dave Allen each morning. Today I found him to be incredibly insensitive to the plight of the swan babies and Manny in Manlius, as evidenced by his laughter."
Yes, I laughed. I laughed to keep from crying. I laughed at the irony of the drama with the Manlius Swan Pond. I was disgusted by the stealing, killing and eating of Faye. Like so many in this community, I have fond memories of visiting the swan pond with my child. I'm sickened by every detail that's unfolded since the news first broke. I'm even sicker over the fact the swans have had more airtime on this radio station and our local TV stations than the recent killing of a 17-year-old girl and other murders. Most people won't remember the names of recent murder victims, but we all know Faye and Manny.
