TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Sorry for the painful video but it's real. That man later died. At one point, the 17-year-old who has now been charged tried to run from the mob. He tripped and fell in the middle of the street. A man ran up and smashed him in the head with a skateboard. The 17-year-old then fired his gun.

So, what does that amount to? We're unsure, a court will decide whether what you just saw qualifies as self-defense. As of tonight, we really don't have more details. We do know why it all happened, though. Kenosha has devolved into anarchy because the authorities in charge of the city abandoned it. People in charge from the governor of Wisconsin on down refused to enforce the law. They stood back and they watched Kenosha burn.

So are we really surprised that looting and arson accelerated to murder? How shocked are we that 17-year-olds with rifles decided they had to maintain order when no one else would?

I figured this warranted its own thread because it's a shocking call to violence by one of America's top rated cable news programs. How is this even allowed to air? Is there no way to get this guy off TV before more people die?

People are pressuring Procter & Gamble to drop Fox News from its advertising. If a giant like that goes, others might follow. He'll always have the MyPillow guy I guess.

Party of law and order...stanning for a kid that broke numerous laws before he even shot anyone (taking the gun across state lines, open carrying it as a minor, etc...)

I don't know how he can live happily with himself knowing that his top writer was a racist shithead.

I'm surprised P&G has the nerve to run ads on his show. I thought he would be down to survival seeds, gold, and My Pillow commercials.

Time for another long-planned vacation. And maybe another a few weeks after his inevitable return, when he says some other awful thing.

He's a racist, bumbling fool so it sounds about what he'd say. Murdering black people is restoring order in his eyes. In a lot of eyes. A lot of racist eyes.

Some good takes to counter right wing talking points like these.

the right: "We need gunz to protect ourselves from big government"

*militarized police kill unarmed citizens 100's of time each year with impunity*

the right: "We need to support and praise the police because they are the thin blue line that protects us! comply, do not resist!"

seriously a bummer... who are the advertisers for that segment? on that show at this point?

this is so unhinged, evil and frankly scary that he puts this awful bitter divisive white supremacist energy out there.

Tucker Carlson is a terrorist mouthpiece. If he was brown and in Syria, they would have dropped a bomb on him long ago. But he's white and lives in America so he doesn't get that treatment.

There are no legal things that someone can say to accurately summarize what I wish would happen to Carlson and his ilk.

They are fascists. They are increasingly unable to deny, deflect, and distort it so they are just going to continue to be more explicit in their fascist politic.

I fucking hate this guy. But I am pretty sure this is how a lot of stupid assholes feel and that is the fucking problem.

That piece of shit murders someone in front of the cops and they just let him go home.

This country is going crazy...

Tucker Carlson should have been fired dozens of times over but Fox News simply refuses to let him go.
