Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade apologizes for saying mentally ill homeless people should be executed

I agree death is a right and should be medically an option to everyone. I personally feel there is a point where someone who screams in tongues for hours isn't really living a life worth much to them anymore.

What if they think it is?

Kill them anyway?

Oh yes it 100% is. Many many many maaaaaany schizophrenics want to live.

ideally there are those with kind hearts that want to help best they can so they can be at least happy enough. But without that system in place, being severally mentally ill and homeless, my nihilistic approach is mercy killing.

Okay.

Without a system in place to adquately house, feed and provide medical care for the very poor, at least in many states, do the very poor need to be mercy killed?

You are literally promoting it repeatedly on this thread.

Fox will keep him on while screaming how MSNBC, ABC, CNN etc should have their ability to broadcast pulled while also screaming about extremist rhetoric.

Repeating: patient > family (patient is not even there enough to speak) > medical team with many checks and balances


No, if they want to live, don't kill them. Yes, there are many that live in those states of mind and if properly cared for, live rather interesting but intense lives. If someone is not even able to communicate in such a way that that information can be gleamed, there isn't a system in place to house them, they are essentially specters of a human and are homeless, yes, sorry, I think mercy killing is okay by a medical review board. Not like a dog on the streets, not based on non scientific merits, pure hard brutal truth the mind can be too broken to ever live happily when they can't even process emotions. It isn't my campaign bumper sticker, I want the system in place to house and care for them, please take my ****ing money about that. I really don't know how the general poor got into this but take my ****ing money to fix that too.

I am literally floundering and back tracking my knee jerk hot garbage take to try and find something rationale here. Mentally ill AND homeless meaning both, not just mercy killing the poor. I am ****ed up in the head but not that ****ed up. Sorry for coming across that way.

democrats know there are jail cells for people who commit crimes.
maybe you didn't know this and assumed others didn't also?

Seems they do their best to let the criminally insane out of them ASAP. One wonders if they are aware.

You finally made a GOOD point. If you have ever (not that you have) followed my comment history, I have many many times pointed out that right-wingers are all big talkers with no balls who sit behind their computer screens hoping someone else will do the nasty things for them.
In fact, just the other day on another thread about how to react to Kirk's death and the hyperbole from the right about retribution, I mentioned that those rightwingers who come onto social media or debate forums love to talk tough but are just internet warriors hoping to wind up someone out there to take action while they themselves sit back in their comfy chairs.
Thanks for supporting my thesis.

We don't burn down and loot our cities when something bad happens because we know that would victimize innocent people who had little or nothing to do with what happened. We and the liberals are just different.

Nah, Righties just storm Capitols, shoot up schools and malls, run down black people (Ahmaud Arbary), shoot Minnesota state representatives, run over protestors with a car, shoot up a synagogue in Pittsburgh, shoot up police in Santa Cruz, conduct a mass shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic. Need I go on?

What's the total death count? Does it exceed a July 4th Chicago weekend?

For political violence the right contributes far more to the death count than the left does.

Data from research groups such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and the Cato Institute indicate that the majority of extremist and politically motivated killings and attacks in the US in recent decades have been perpetrated by individuals and groups on the far-right.

Right-wing political violence
  • Most attacks: The CSIS found that from 1994 to 2020, right-wing attacks and plots constituted the majority of all domestic terrorist incidents in the United States. This trend included an acceleration of far-right violence over the last decade.
  • More fatalities: When excluding the exceptionally high death toll of the 9/11 attacks, right-wing terrorism has been responsible for the largest proportion of fatalities in the US. A 2025 analysis by the Cato Institute found that between 1975 and 2025, right-wing terrorists were responsible for 63% of politically motivated murders if the 9/11 attacks are excluded.

Seems like a bit of a strange list of violence by "righties." Some excerpts from your links:

"Stop the duopoly" is also a popular fixation among boogaloo adherents, referring to the dominance of the Republican and Democratic parties in American politics.

But it's a decent list I suppose. We only have to go back 4 or 5 years to make it to last July 4th in Chicago.

More Than 40 Shot, 7 Killed by Gunfire Over Fourth of July Weekend Across Chicago: Police

According to the Chicago Police Department, 44 people were shot in 32 separate shootings between 6 p.m. Thursday and midnight Sunday.

Apples to oranges.

Urban violence, gang rivalry, robbery, etc arent political.

Charlie kirk wasnt killed in a mugging, or caught in the crossfire of a gang war, he was targeted for political reasons.

If we compare apples to apples, and look at political violence, the right is responsible for far more of it then the left.

Those are just facts.

Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade apologizes for saying mentally ill homeless people should be executed

Fox News Channel host Brian Kilmeade apologized on Sunday for advocating for the execution of mentally ill homeless people in a discussion on the network last week, saying his remark was “extremely callous.”
www.kgns.tv www.kgns.tv

The party of toning down inflammatory rhetoric, folks. Because that kind of thing gets people killed.

No apology can undo a horrible comment like that. The real horror is that it is representative of the current culture and atmosphere. Sadistic comments like that are the extreme of INHUMANITY. It seems that "freedom of speech is takne to an extreme... and now almost accepted in some cultural sub groups.

Over at MSNBC, they fire you for far less. Even if you apologize

I mean, is he wrong? Look, I hate eugenics, or dark shadows that force silently repoing body parts, sure. Can we both agree that at some point understanding and realistic recovery is impossible unless someone trades their own life to the cause? Obviously Kilmeade is front of the list, but I'm not saying no his idea.

Many of the homeless are mentally ill, and or have substance abuse issues.

They are not in there right mind to make a decision to accept certain social services.

Urban crime isnt political. Isnt right or left.

Try logic.

I guess that's how the left rationalizes not giving a shit about rampant violent crime in their cities. Everything has to have an anti-right angle, and if it doesn't, it can be dismissed.

Maybe take a logoc class.

Yes? I'm a bleeding heart of bleeding hearts. When someone is strapped in and fighting tooth and nail to unleash their inner desire to become the god king of gnomes, I take a pause. Either you pay someone a salary to monitor them 24/7 or you admit the world is, net mind you, better off without them. Most aren't gone past recovery, but those would require such monitoring and empathy this world isn't ready or willing to give.

And what about those who aren’t “broken” but are clearly making life suck for a bunch of others with every waking breath?

Can I pick who gets to live or die? I have thoughts on the matter too.

I just doubt our lists would match.
