Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested on Monday that beach officials should be clearing the waters of sharks to prevent the predators from coming in contact with humans.
Over the weekend, surfer Mick Fanning was caught on video being attacked by what appeared to be a great white shark at the 2015 J-Bay Open in South Africa. The attack comes after a number of other beach goers were injured by sharks this summer in the United States.
I think that the most shocking thing is that after you hear about the six attacks in North Carolina, okay, these are just swimmers, Kilmeade noted on Mondays edition of Fox & Friends. But then when you see a champion surfer and you have a three camera shoot and an overhead shot, say, Oh my goodness, it could happen anywhere.'
You would think that they would have a way of clearing the waters before a competition of this level, he opined. But I guess they dont.

Unbelievable! Kilmeade obviously never got any kind of an education, or if he did, he was the one in the back of the room, sleeping with his feet up on another desk.

I mean I know that it is Fox but still, how did this man get a job anywhere on TV - much less even a fake news channel.
