Twenty years ago tonight, Judith Berg came close to being gunned down with her ex-husband in one of Denver's most heinous murders.

But she prefers not to think about that.

Instead, she focuses on trying to stop the hate and racism that led neo-Nazis to assassinate Alan Berg — an abrasive-yet-popular talk show host on KOA-AM (850) radio.

On June 18, 1984, around 9:30 p.m., a hit squad was parked on Adams Street, staking out Alan Berg's town house. Judith had been there with him shortly before.

As Berg stepped out of his Volkswagen Beetle, he was cut down by a one-second burst of 13 bullets from a machine gun. He died instantly. Traces of the bullet holes can still be seen on the building's garage door.

1. Can I kick and rec this 5 more times?

I lived in Denver when this happened.
I used to listen to his show.
I was SHOCKED to hear he had been gunned down like a DOG in his driveway by these racist pricks.
This deserves to be widely read.
I may do something drastic here.

THANK YOU!

3. I don't think a lot of people remember Alan Berg?

But they should.

10. I was a caller on his televised radio talk show shortly before he died

he was an a-hole, and not a liberal, rather a kind of a protolibertarian.

He didn't like getting a factcheck from an uppity caller. I got a hang up.

Nevertheless, we should all fight racism and Nazism.

9. He was gunned down like a dog

because the only way someone can justify this kind of murder in their head is to think of their opponant as being less than human.
You have to wonder what kind of twisted thought process can get there...

7. Everyone should see the film Talk Radio

It's loosely based on Berg. Great film.
