Brian Kilmeade of Fox News states homeless people who refuse help should be put to death

In a shocking moment on Fox News on the morning of September 10, Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade apparently advocated for the killing of mentally ill homeless people during a discussion.

He also suggested it could be done through “involuntary lethal injection.”

The remarks were made during a segment about the recent murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a light rail train in North Carolina by a homeless person with schizophrenia and an extensive criminal history.

“A lot of them don't want to take the programs, a lot of them don't want to get the help that is necessary. You can't give them a choice. Either you take the resources that we're going to give you and — or you decide that you are going to be locked up in jail. That's the way it has to be now,” he added.

Kilmeade interjected: “Or involuntary lethal injection… or something. Just kill ‘em.”

“Yeah,” Jones adds.

Fellow co-host Ainsley Earhardt then said: “Yeah, Brian, why did it have to get to this point?”

Kilmeade then said that people in cities with large homeless populations were voting for the wrong elected officials, telling people in North Carolina to “wake up.”

So very Christian!

I watched the 'Trump Interview' on FOX the other morning where he said 'they caught the guy' who killed Kirk. There he is, sitting on the sofa between the black guy and the blonde woman. NOT ONCE did Trump ever turn his head and acknowledge that the black guy was sitting on his right. He was focused on the two white hosts sitting on his left (our right). Even when the black guy made a comment, Trump never turned his head in his direction - never. How disrespectful and humiliating. If I was the black host, I'd have gotten up and walked off the set.

I'm fine with this. The ones who won't take help are usually just violent and crazy anyway. For instance my brother is chronically homeless. He iscurrently a registered sex offender in florida and was living in a trailer with two other registered sex offenders but recently lost his place because he without any provocation tried to murder his roommate. This is only the latest in a long string have assaults he has committed and yet somehow it's already been adjudicated and all he got was a Year's probation and time served which was like 12 days. There is even full video of the entire event. He has a legitimate brain deformity but doesn't believe it himself. He's functional enough that he has power over his own affairs but he will never be able to function well in society and it really is only a matter of time before he either kills or is killed himself. He's been in Florida for the last 15 years though and I'm surprised he survived this long.

r3 and then you would be fired - all these people know to bow down and "behave" for their overlord

It was a gross thing to say, but he won't be fired over it. He's protected.

R4 They say something like that and move the goal posts every fucking time. They'll start with the psycho screaming his head off pushing a shopping cart, and then they'll come for a schoolteacher or a retail worker sleeping in their car trying their best to stay out of trouble.

Absolutely despicable, crazy, and evil thing to say. And the other two hosts are just as bad for going along with it.

BTW, this is wrong even without the slippery slope considerations (although that is definitely what's coming next). Even a nutjob doesn't deserve to be put to death. If the death penalty exists at all, and that's highly questionable due to human fallibility, it should be reserved for those who actually commit the worst of crimes against others, such as murder. Most homeless do not do anything like that. Someone talking to themselves may visually disturb you, but you're a fucking sicko if you think that means they should be killed.

A person who, because of illness, handicap or, more simply, just by existing, compromises the well-being or life-style of those who are more favoured tends to be looked upon as an enemy to be resisted or eliminated. In this way a kind of "conspiracy against life" is unleashed.

This is exactly what the Nazis did. Full stop.

You don't really know that for certain, and I'm sure you're only measuring within your little bubble and not the entire country, which is more diverse. Everyone is not like your family. When I first started volunteering, I learned rather quickly that there is no specific type or even class when it comes to America's homeless population. Pretty much anyone can fall down on their luck in this country covid should have taught you that.

It's rather disturbing that you agree with the sick dystopian fantasies of this Fox News shill. Surely, we can come up with solutions that aren't inhumane and barbaric. America is not a third-world country. We are supposed to be a civilized society.

This is fascist.

Genocidal sadists assemble!

The plug should be pulled on Fox News. That would be a good start.

Can facial gays explain what’s going on with Kilmeade’s face? Is it a bad facelift? Cheap Botox?

I can’t believe this isn’t the top story of every website.

I guess they’re dropping the curtain a little bit to desensitize us to the next phase of their plans.

Every body wants a piece of the Aktion.

Zero to Nazi in eight months. I'm shocked but kinda saw this coming.

r16, I think there's a bit of a "Oh, it's FOX News, of course they say extreme stuff" reaction to things like this. However, you're right. And r17 is too. This is actually a deeply disturbing new line that has been crossed by someone on their channel. FOX News hosts may have bashed the homeless and talked about Democrats being soft on crime and blah, blah, blah, before, but a host suggesting that the homeless, or any group really, be euthanized is something that has not happened before. This is literally Nazi shit. Like one is not even exaggerating by one percent to say that. It's not just othering. It's "final solution" proposing for a demonized group. Literally. Holy shit.

That's rich, from someone who works at Fox News and refuses help to get away from it.

Bri, if the needles don't do it, there's always trains and Zyklon-B.
