"Kilmeade's colleague, Lawrence Jones, proposed jailing violent homeless people. (Decarlos Brown Jr. who has been arrested in connection with the grisly North Carolina slaying is a homeless man with a lengthy criminal record.) You can't give them a choice, Jones said. Either you take the resources that we're gonna give you, or you decide that you're gonna be locked up in jail. That's the way it has to be. Kilmeade responded with a shocking suggestion. Involuntary lethal injection or something, Kilmeade said. Just kill 'em."
"Sunday on Fox & Friends, Kilmeade joined the show towards the end of the 6 a.m. hour to deliver an apology: We were discussing the murder of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina and how to stop these kinds of attacks by homeless, mentally ill assailants, including institutionalizing or jailing such people so they cannot attack again. Now during that discussion, I wrongly said they should get lethal injections. I apologize for that extremely callous remark."
Brian Kilmeade apologized for suggesting violent homeless people should be killed after comments related to the murder of a Ukrainian refugee on a North Carolina train. A colleague, Lawrence Jones, proposed jailing violent homeless people and offered an ultimatum about accepting resources or facing incarceration. Decarlos Brown Jr., arrested in connection with the killing, is identified as a homeless man with a lengthy criminal record. Kilmeade said, "Involuntary lethal injection or something... Just kill 'em," and later apologized, saying he had wrongly suggested lethal injections and acknowledging many homeless people deserve empathy and compassion.
