Brian was this close to getting a tent as a going away present.
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade apologized on Sunday for saying days
earlier that people who are experiencing homelessness and mental
illnesses should be executed rCo remarks that prompted calls for him to be fired.
The host said his comments on Wednesday were rCLextremely callousrCY.
KilmeaderCOs about-face came amid a climate in which people across the US are either being fired from or disciplined at their jobs amid a
coordinated effort to clamp down on commentary that is critical about Turning Point USArCOs executive director, Charlie Kirk, who was shot to death at an event in Utah on Wednesday.
Mere hours before the conservative political activist was killed, while
on the rightwing Fox News program Fox & Friends, Kilmeade and two other hosts were discussing the killing of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a
Ukrainian woman who was fatally stabbed on a commuter train in North Carolina in August.
The man charged with killing Zarutska at random in Charlotte had
reportedly been diagnosed with schizophrenia and had 14 prior criminal arrests. Surveillance video of the ZarutskarCOs killing went viral online.
During the Fox and Friends appearance on Wednesday discussing ZarutskarCOs death, co-host Lawrence Jones said unhoused people with mental illness should either accept the publicly funded programs to help in their
situation or be jailed.
rCLInvoluntary lethal injection or something,rCY Kilmeade responded to Jones. rCLJust kill rCOem.rCY
Kilmeade faced widespread backlash for his comments. Among those to
respond was CaliforniarCOs Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, who on
social media posted a biblical verse reading: rCLWhoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.rCY
On Sunday morning, during an appearance with Jones on Fox & Friends Weekends, Kilmeade apologized for his idea of killing those who are
unhoused and mentally ill.
rCLI wrongly said they should get lethal injectionsrCY on Wednesday, Kilmeade said. rCLI apologize for that extremely callous remark. I am obviously aware that not all mentally ill, homeless people act as the perpetrator did in North Carolina rCo and that so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion.rCY
Unlike others who were deemed to have made offensive comments about
KirkrCOs death, Kilmeade remained employed by Fox News.

I asked Google AI what has been shown to work for homeless populations, because it has been a l-o-n-g time since the last time we discussed
this, when I referred to them as "feral human beings".
Much has improved:
"Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs humanely manage free-roaming homeless populations by trapping, sterilizing, vaccinating, and returning the homeless to their outdoor home, stabilizing colonies and improving
homeless welfare over time. While some opposition exists, TNR aims to
reduce suffering and unwanted littering, leading to quieter communities
and fewer homeless in shelters, as demonstrated by successful programs worldwide. "
Good to know, huh?
