The Sorensen Monologues

Rage at the Ragged

I have long been perplexed by those who would inflict harm on the most vulnerable and downtrodden. “Fox and Friends” host Brian Kilmeade recently expressed support for the execution of mentally ill homeless people while discussing a horrifying murder committed in Charlotte, NC. From the Associated Press: 

A homeless and mentally ill man, Decarlos Brown Jr., was arrested for murder, and the case received extensive attention on Fox following the release of a security video of the stabbing.

Jones was talking on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday about public money spent on trying to help homeless people and suggested that those who didn’t accept services offered to them should be jailed.

“Or involuntary lethal injection, or something,” Kilmeade said. “Just kill ‘em.”

Kilmeade apologized for his comments after facing a fierce public backlash.
