Ted Nugent reacts to Jimmy Kimmel being taken off air
Ted Nugent said he is in favor of Jimmy Kimmel being taken off the air over his controversial Charlie Kirk remarks in a new post on X.
“Taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air was a calculated business decision, not a first amendment issue.”
Nugent also shared his opinion on Charlie Kirk’s killer, citing past assassins like John Wilkes Boothe, who killed President Abraham Lincoln, “A little under ninety days after President Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865, four of John Wilkes Booth’s co-conspirators — Mary Surratt, Lewis Powell, David Herold, and George Atzerodt — were publicly hanged on July 7, 1865. Some 1,000 people attended the hanging.
With all the myriad appeals available to killers convicted of first degree murder in today’s modern world, it can now take decades to execute a killer. In fact, more first degree murderers die of old age in prison than are executed.
Reasonable people believe taking decades — if ever — to execute the most heinous of murderers is too long, especially when the evidence is unequivocal the killer is guilty.”
Ted Nugent wants justice for Charlie Kirk
Nugent then discussed Tyler Robinson, who is charged with killing Charlie Kirk, and the story about a Ukrainian refugee woman who was recently murdered.
“Enter 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, the killer of Charlie Kirk. Robinson has reportedly admitted to shooting and killing Charlie Kirk. His admission along with the evidence will unequivocally prove he pulled the trigger that ended Charlie Kirk’s life.
Robinson is obviously entitled to trial, and reasonable people support that foundational right. Once he is found guilty, he should be entitled to one appeal — to the Utah supreme court as murder is most often a state crime. If Robinson’s appeal fails, a date of execution should be established and then he should be executed on that date.
Tyler Robinson is not the only vicious killer of late. Decarlos Brown Jr. is unequivocally guilty of fatally stabbing Ukranian refugee Iryna Zarutska on-board a Charlotte train. Unlike Robinson, Brown reportedly has a lengthy criminal record.
Reasonable people believe it is highly unreasonable for killers such as Robinson and Brown to breathe air for decades when their victims are dead, their families destroyed, communities shaken, and Americans terrified to leave their homes and express their thoughts and opinions on-line or in public.
If our society is truly interested in deterring future stone-cold killers such as Tyler Robinson and Decarlos Brown, we should execute them in public exactly like the Booth co-conspirators. Hand-wringers and excuse-makers will find this suggestion callous. So be it. The time is now to end the insanity of putting obvious killers in prison for decades and then claiming the death penalty is not a deterrent.
Indeed, there is something obviously wrong with killers such as Robinson and Brown as reasonable people do not shoot and stab other innocent Americans. However, just because these two killers have numerous wires crossed does not negate our societal responsibility to ensure justice is swiftly carried out. Reasonable people want justice.
Let us carry out justice swiftly instead of denying justice. Execute Robinson and Brown in public so as demonstrate to other would-be killers that this will be their fate. Ted Nugent.”
