The fact he wasn't fired for this shows exactly just how asymmetric everything in the media is right now. He was literally advocating mass murder and said "just kill them."
Brian Kilmeade apologized for his comments about homeless people getting lethal injections this morning on Fox & Friends, saying "so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion."

Please remember that in the entire history of the world, "that's illegal" has prevented exactly zero crimes.
The law is not a forcefield that prohibits illegal actions. It's a list of consequences that *may* be imposed if you do the proscribed act.
"You can't do that" is just factually incorrect.
