  🚨Update: The War Department says the U.S. military will livestream the execution of terrorist Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter who murdered 13 people in 2009!! Hasan is scheduled to face a firing squad at Fort Hood on December 3 — at roughly the same time and place as the

  “.. Beyond disgusting,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a frequent critic of Hegseth, said on X. “Public executions are what oppressive dictatorships like Iran and Afghanistan do. It should not be happening in America.” @politico.com

  This is morally reprehensible https://www. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmy0r9 6xygx6o I'm amazed Whisky Hesgeth & Herr Trumper aren't charging it on a pay-per-view basis, or staging it on the Whitehouse lawn like their UFC debacle. Or taking donations for a chance to be in the firing squad. Wouldn't put it past the vile bastards

  I doubt this livestream will actually happen, but if it does, I hope people will realize ahead of time that this will not be enjoyable or entertaining to watch.A paralyzed guy, sitting in a wheelchair, will be shot, slump over, die, blood will ooze from the wound, and then that's it.His actions were murderous and atrocious, but there is no value…

  Everyone's sense of outrage! Disgust!! Horror!!! Is being deliberately curated by the administration and the puppet masters behind it. None of this is "real," in that every - single - outrage - is done with the intention to outrage normal people, the true motive. The antidote? Awareness, and inoculation. Outrage after outrage after outrage will be…

  I can’t believe I have to say this but public executions have no place in America or any democracy.

  "Media have sought to televise US executions ⁠in the past, but have been blocked by the courts. No other country is known to televise or livestream legal executions, experts said." A truly barbaric excuse for a country. # MakeAmericaGrateAgain https://www. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/o ct/09/live-stream-execution-fort-hood-shooter

  > "People need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things."Why? Seriously, what is the point of demonstrating "serious consequences" for the crime of "military personnel mass-shooting other military personnel"? Is this a regular problem that needs to be corrected for? Do you think anyone in their right mind _doesn't_…

  You can definitely argue that the Catholics stance on abortion is wrong or anti-feminist, but you can’t really say it’s hypocritical. They’re equally against capital punishment, suicide, war. They even acknowledge that medical procedures which indirectly terminate a pregnancy are permissible to save the life of the mother. They aren’t like these…

  You're also required to performatively react to this news without considering the track, record this administration has in the courts. You are NOT supposed to notice the repeating pattern that "Monday Trump says the war continues and makes threats, Mid-week escalation, Friday resolution with negotiation 'progress' or some kind of 'deal'."DO NOT…

  I'm scared to ask because it's been so bad. Who the hell is able to do real polling in this geopoltical environment? Who has numbers of actual sentiment? Because the last time I heard these kinds of words or was hours before Hilary lost.

  Trump just told the outrage crowd to move on. He and Pete Hegseth are going ahead with the death penalty for Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter who killed 14.His line was blunt. Hasan deserves it. The sentence is a firing squad, and they intend to do it in public. Hasan has been

  Under this administration, I was expecting pay-per-view 🤔 “It was a radical Islamist attack in uniform inside the ranks, and so he’s going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be, and we’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public" - Sec. Hegseth ✏️ @theguardian.com

  I'll risk some downvotes by expressing my pet view that if the government is going to use capital punishment - it should be public.The US is a representative democracy and "we" have delegated the monopolistic use of violence to the government.If the government is going to capitally punish someone, it ought to be done in full view of the people…

  I really feel like part of the sadism in the American psyche is this warped view of Christianity that Evangelicals have. The whole premise of the death penalty is in the concept of 'Eye for an Eye'.

  🚨🇺🇸 The Pentagon could livestream the execution of the Fort Hood shooter, but JD Vance says he has absolutely no interest in watching. He called the 2009 massacre one of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil outside 9/11, recalling how an Army psychiatrist gunned down

  I recall the old Doctor Who episode "vengeance on varos" was my first exposure as a kid to the then sci-fi concept of executions streamed for - the public benefit, I suppose? Really disturbing episode, rewatched it a few years back and yeah - still very disturbing. Not a good episode in other respects either, and it was harshly criticized at the…
