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
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.
Time to read up on Aktion T4, the Nazi campaign to mass murder people with disabilities and mental illness. During Aktion T4, the Nazis developed the techniques later used in concentration camps.
Kilmeade's comment is a Nazi comment.
Also, I don't know Don Beyer and maybe the tweet is meant in good faith, but arguing "we shouldn't kill the homeless because some of them are children or veterans" is highly problematic, too.
Unfortunately some people have sympathy so selective that unless you can tug on very specific heartstrings, they will never give a damn about other people.
They are cynically playing the sheep, they have no heartstrings.
And the sheep are led into an alternate reality where the moral thing is to follow these cynical influencers.
It did not happen overnight, 30 years of fox working on previous propaganda has step by step brought their sheep to support fascism.

Bet he's not fired
Zero chance he gets fired. He didn’t go off script. He just read the brackets.

The Conservative Propaganda Machine is now openly calling for a systematic, government program to murder an entire large demographic group that makes them uncomfortable.
And in response to one of their own killing Kirk, the administration is about to embark on a campaign to cancel, jail, or deport all liberal, progressive, and leftist organizations like the ACLU - because they all support violence against conservatives, a bald-faced lie.
Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade endorsed euthanizing unhoused people suffering from mental health issues who decline getting help.
Why do journalists do this sort of thing where a guy will literally say that we should murder homeless people and then they try to dress down their language to the point of dishonesty? Euthanasia is when you help something die that is in horrible unyielding pain. Not when you kill something because you don’t know how to take care of it.
Journalists are an endangered breed, Fox certainly doesn't employ any
They're not talking about the language of the Fox presenters. They're talking about the journalists who report on what the Fox presenters said.
They view homeless people as less than human and thus use the same wording as they would about an animal. Convenience euthanasia is when you just kill an animal because you don't want it anymore, but it is still called euthanasia.

so i reckon they like the fact someone euthanized charlie kirk?
News orgs, and frankly many public institutions, seem to be lliability averse to a fault. My guess is journalists have generally been instructed to use passive language to avoid libel lawsuits due to the expense of settlement or counsel fees.
Passive language has become so common in journalism these days, and the far right terrorist cohort realizes the vocal minority bad faith pearl clutching schtick works well enough that they continue to threaten litigation against objective truth regularly. It's Trump's MO, and I assume it works because those being sued are terrified his base will be out for blood if he doesn't get his way.
The more the news orgs settle and normalize this shit, the more inertia there is to get back to reality. It's maddening, tbh.

So this guy was sacked, right?
Just like the MSNBC dude who expressed schadenfraude OFF THE AIR over Kirk's murder, right?
Probably got a promotion
But they get upset when we call them Nazis.
Their worldview can not exist without victimhood
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
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.
That is literally, terrorism!
"We support our troops."
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.
Reminder this guy 16 years ago used overt white supremacist language on Fox and Friends and still kept his job.
All people who were in the room and didn't voice a protest should never be hired in media again.
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”
Holy shit that is gruesome even for Gruesome Newsom
So he's admitting that he can't sleep at night from the attacks he's made on the homeless, or does he have 0 self awareness? Bonus, even; he's a spineless demagogue.

Something something political violence.
Step 1 of Nazi mass murder: ✓
If anyone can call for murder of anyone simply for being inconvenient, how long until people call for the murder of people like Brian Kilmeade?
Do the Brians seriously not see that coming?
Do those fucktards really think their opponents will forever try to stay on the moral high ground?
The future may hold some surprises for them, but not the kind of surprise they will like.
Newsom is in no position to criticize Kilmeade's abhorrent views.
I was about to say, didn’t he destroy a homeless camp as a photo-op?
lol as a photo op? try as public policy
I knew this was a shit timeline, but not "Street Trash IRL" bad.
Edit: Street Trash is a movie where a mysterious liquor starts "dissolving" the homeless when they drink it.
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.
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.

I knew it was gonna piss me off but I still watched it.
Suggesting slaughtering hundreds of thousands of unhoused people? Hell yeah!
Laughing at Charli Kirk getting smoked? But he had a family!!!!!!
Odd, I kinda feel the same way about Brian Kilmeades.
Imagine him introducing himself as "I'm Brian, Kill Me..." and before he gets to finish the sentence, you do him the favour!
