Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."


Above is the quote, I just watched it on a video at blue sky.

My son was homeless for a few years and a heroin addict, he’s alive now and off the streets and clean but in Brian and MAGA world he’d be dead, he would’ve been murdered by the government.

Killemeade wants to put homeless people out of *his* misery.

He's advocating a slaughter, a mass murder, a callous and evil butchering.

Nothing like euthanasia.

I'm sure the management of FOX, his producers, and the companies that advertise on this show don't have a problem with it either.

If they had a problem with their guy advocating killing people who are inconvenient, they would not pay him to do so.

Who is this guy and why is he so despicable? What a horrible thing to say. What is wrong with these people? Do they not have one ounce of compassion anywhere in their bodies?

This is the kind of shit DJT has wrought. People used to keep these kinds of thoughts to themselves; now they feel free to shout them from the rooftops.

What a miserable excuse for a human being.

It must have been very difficult for you to see your son going through that. I'm so glad things turned out well for him.

Given what I know about how most people are not there by choice, drug addiction is not a choice regardless of what assholes like that believe etc.

Where we are now is frightening but it also makes me really fucking angry and I wanna do something😡

We NEED you!

We need your thoughts.

We need your input.

We need you walking around and free to live your life the way you choose to live it - and with whom, as WE ALL deserve to.

We need you to help us validate our own feelings about issues like this which keep us feeling like all we can do is fight just to swim upstream.

We need you! AND we need you NOT incarcerated for something that just finally got to you in the wrong way. We need you free and fully capable, and willing to keep sharing your wisdom.

We need you.

This ignorant ass is paid to say something, and unlike his tongue, which may have a filter, apparently his ass doesn't.
This jerk has no real opinions on anything, so he just puts his brain in neutral and lets his ass take over.

Especially you and your family, surely there’s something extra wrong with you that you were all homeless, couldn’t be because of economy or illnesses.

I hope the American people realize they are going to come after us to deport kill or imprison all of us

Their so called news programs are like in-kind gifts to Trump and his sycophants. The value of this propaganda should be reported as a political contribution to the Federal Election Commission (maybe next on my list).

I never watch Fox (cannot bring myself to watch their propaganda). But I have complained multiple times to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that they should not be allowed to call themselves a new station when they do not employ trained journalists or have news bureaus (CNN has had new bureaus for years). Incompetent Trump appointees have completely captured these regulatory boards and commissions. However, it is important to keep sticking it in their face.

I will have to check out the Board of Fox News to see if it is possible to send letters to these people. This company has done more to damage democracy than any company on the planet.

Which is the usual RW talking point.

I wonder if he wants to use due process and the full appeals process, or just round them up and slaughter them like cattle? My guess is make it fast and avoid due process.

I retired from the state of California (as a manager), and this evening I’m traveling with my wife to go out to dinner with our son the attorney, his soon-to-be wife and our daughter the math teacher.

I have a very low opinion of idiots who demean the homeless.

Our biggest failure in this country is how we treat the most unfortunate. Should not be judging these people. They need help.
Everyone in this country should be entitled to a safe place to sleep, basic hygiene and medical care, and three basic meals a day.
We could do this.

And then round up the mentally/physically infirm, gypsies, Jews, wrong political party members, wrong versions of Christianity, others as determined.

Why, you could even build large camps to conduct mass killings for efficiency.

??? It's been done.

Then I realized: it doesn’t matter. This administration has already admitted it hates veterans and will do nothing to reward their service to the nation.

BK: Perhaps someone will follow through on my sick and twisted idea and take matters in their own hands.

These pseudo christians are so so tiresome. They don’t actually believe in anything about the lessons Jesus was teaching them. Not then, and certainly not now!
