A Fox News morning host has a novel idea to handle those pesky Code Pink protesters who disrupt political events and Congressional hearings: 50,000 volts of electricity.

Brian Kilmead shared his ever-so-evolved views on crowd control Monday morning in a Fox & Friends discussion of a Code Pink-disrupted Hillary Clinton speech. His answer to annoying anti-war types? Tasers or Billy clubs.

They should Tase this guy, Kilmead says. At one point with security so high and tensions on edge, dont you think theyre going to get at the very least Tased or beaten to a pulp by somebody? These people look threatening.

Kilmead's Taser-lust came one day after a 20-year-old Maryland man died after being shocked by police.

The other hosts argue for some restraint when dealing with feisty, pink-clad protesters.

Why should they tase him? Hes not resisting arrest, co-host Steve Doocy says, injecting some much-needed rationality into the conversation.

The protest-of-the moment, came during a recent Clinton speech in Los Angeles on global warming.

Were you invited to speak here this afternoon? Clinton scolds the protester as he is removed by security.

The Fox hosts used the disruption to remind viewers of Code Pinks habit of disrupting Capitol Hill hearings, and they re-played the famous dont Tase me bro sound-bite from a University of Florida student earlier this year. The students screams seemed to delight the hosts, and Kilmead clearly wanted to hear more of them.

I would be for Tasing anyone in Code Pink, he says. Im pro-Pink Tasing.
