A Fox News presenter suggested during a live segment that people struggling with homelessness and mental health issues should be executed.
Brian Kilmeade made the comments on the network's flagship talk show Fox and Friends on Wednesday alongside co-hosts Lawrence Jones and Ainsley Earhardt.
The trio had been discussing the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska who was killed while on a bus when Kilmeade made the now heavily criticized remark.
Jones suggested that people not taking up programs to help those battling mental health and homelessness should be locked up, when Kilmeade went nuclear.
'Or involuntary lethal or something, just kill them', he said - with the comment passing by his cohosts who looked completely unfazed by the remark.
Earhardt added: 'Yeah, Brian, why did it have to get to this point?', failing to comment on his suggestion.
Kilmeade then proceeded to say that cities with large homeless populations were voting for the wrong leaders, urging those in North Carolina to 'wake up'.
Zarutska was murdered in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 22 after being stabbed in the neck, suspect Decarlos Brown is accused of killing her.

I get it. But you’re not his boss. We’ll see how people react to his apology. He may be asked to take a leave of absence if statement wasn’t well accepted.
Exactly what ole Adolph decreed.
“I’m with Brian on this one. They are a waste of air. They put rabid dogs down.”
Any other week I might ignore; this week I am obligated to denounce.
On Fox and Fiends. I saw a clip.
People are saying all kinds of things out of anger and frustration.
The laws are no longer working and that has led to these knee jerk reactions.
I understand the anger, but this is a step too far.
In response to the Kirk assassination, where AGAIN a transsexual killed, it is time to declare transsexualism as a mental illness, and deny them firearms possession as stated in the 1968 Gun Control Act, which prohibits possession by those administratively declared insane.
In response to the Iryna killing, it is time to lock up PERMANENTLY those who are shown to be serially violent or career criminals.
I’d also throw in there, we should re-open institutions for those adjudicated as insane.
I know I am completely sick of those who make excuses for these animals roaming our streets like rabid predators.
If we can’t lock them up forever in prisons or mental asylums, maybe Brian has a point...
You have an interesting comment. The left aborts (murders) mostly the unborn, but yes they do allow those babies that live to die or just kill them. Abortion is the way of the left to get rid of the unwanted. Assisted suicides are also quite popular with lefterly nations.
So your idea might be a politically correct way to solve the problem. The left should agree with you on that, for that is there way to solve their problems.
But then if we do this we are just as ugly as the left. Asylums for the mentally ill need to be reopened to remove these sick people from the public. They are mentally ill and need treatment accordingly.
Need to tread cautiously around knee jerk reactions resulting in extreme measures. The reason I say that is because of one single thought, “What power given to government has not been abused?”
He did say those exact words, but I would like to see the context. His comments may have been limited to those already convicted of capital murder who refuse treatment. If so, would the death penalty or life imprisonment in a mental institution without parole be appropriate?
Brian, Brian, Brian, I know you are angry and upset, lots of us are, but this is the USA not Canada or the EU where putting people out of society’s misery is a real thing.
I think it is good to remember that before the Nazi’s started murdering Jews on a large-scale industrial scale they started with the mentally ill and physically deformed.

One that is not all that bright.
Sounds like this lefty is almost going Kilmeade:
(A conservative is a liberal whose wife got groped?)
I’ve never understood how a low-IQ sports dude like Kilmeade got promoted way above his intelligence. Good opportunity to replace him.
All felonies should be capital crimes. All executions should be carried out no more than one year after sentencing. There should be a financial cap on the cost of appeals to the state. If that is too harsh, then some felonies should be reduced to misdemenors by legislation or referendum. Succesive misdemenors should be punished with exponential severities.

I suspect that that’s what he was doing.
IF he said it as represented, NO WAY! That’s awful. But that’s a big fat IF.

I am a man of letters, and I never heard of this word.
That is what I’m asking too....
