Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested using “involuntary lethal injection” to kill homeless people with mental illness during a September 10, 2025 segment of “Fox & Friends”[1]. The comments came during a discussion about the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska by a homeless person with schizophrenia in North Carolina[2].
After co-host Lawrence Jones argued that homeless people should be forced to accept help or face jail time, Kilmeade interjected: “Or involuntary lethal injection… or something. Just kill 'em”[3]. His co-hosts briefly acknowledged the comment before continuing their discussion[4].
The remarks sparked widespread condemnation. Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia tweeted: “America’s homeless population includes over a million children and tens of thousands of veterans, many of whom served in Iraq or Afghanistan. Nobody deserves to be murdered by the government for mental illness or poverty”[1:1].
California Governor Gavin Newsom responded by quoting Proverbs 21:13: “Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered”[3:1].

May he face what he condemns others to.
This is A) Horrifying and B) Literal stochastic terrorism.
Any left leaning folk who aren’t familiar with firearms should start practicing now, the Nazis are drumming up a fight whether we want it or not
That is literally, terrorism!
that sounds like a very mentally deranged position. no, it is a mentally unwell position, one which requires therapy and mental health treatment to address. I believe and a thing i like to call radical empathy. Treat others how they want to be treated? No. That’s bullshit. Treat people how they believe in treating others. Give the other boot a try. As such, applying reference 3 from your source material to its speaker would be both a kindness to its speaker, as he views it as kindness, and a kindness to society, as it removes him all the fuck ways away from us. Seems like his position or his life is due for a change.
one which requires therapy and mental health treatment to address.
Not everybody is capable of developing empathy though, it also sounds sociopathic. The problem isn’t only the one guy saying something crazy, it is also his environment not intervening.
I knew this was a shit timeline, but not “Street Trash IRL” bad.
“We support our troops.”
Remember the famous speech by Jesus: Involuntary lethal injection is A-Ok if it’s for homeless people, but never involuntary inject a racist-sexist-hateful right wing figure with a bullet, that’s not cool.
It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate involuntary bullet, the male body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
i think brian kilmeade should be beaten to death with a brick like the rabid dog he is
That’s a bit harsh on dogs
Thoughts & prayers for the brick
Something something political violence.
I actually prefer this honesty from them. We all know they already thought this and worse. Let them speak their minds and show us how repugnant they are. They’re nazis, let it show.
Scumfuck wants a white world around him.
But they get upset when we call them Nazis.
Their worldview can not exist without victimhood
Bet he’s not fired
Zero chance he gets fired. He didn’t go off script. He just read the brackets.
It’s not a call for violence, so that’s cool beans
Just remember, if you’re working class you’re never more than three bad months away from homelessness
Actually, I think you are being optimistic. Probably 2 months considering the debt most people have just to eat regularly.
Closer to 1 month-a couple weeks.
Which is fine because he wasn’t drawing attention to the known facts that Charlie Kirk was a divisive fascist and the president is sitting on evidence that he, the president, is a pedophile.
