Pentagon said execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, would be broadcast live
The US is facing worldwide condemnation over a “barbaric” plan to execute a disabled man by firing squad and livestream it to the public, with critics comparing the Trump administration to dictatorships in Iran and Afghanistan.
The Pentagon confirmed on Thursday that the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, convicted of killing 13 people at a military base at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009, would be livestreamed on 3 December.
The United Nations’ office of the high commissioner for human rights warned on Friday that broadcasting the killing would amount to a public execution and “breach the absolute prohibition of torture”.
Remember my mother letting me sit up and watch the Ceaușescu trial when I was perhaps 11.
Don’t think she reckoned that they (Norwegian state broadcaster NRK) would also show the execution. Remember they (ex-dictator and wife) were lined up against a wall, then fell down and a man in a white coat checked them.
USA, Iran, Afghanistan, countries where people are executed publicly. Next, USA will begin with public hanging and leaving body for 24 hours.
The trailer park administration.
We can only hope that Donny’s last breath is live on tv.
Preach the New Testament, practice the Old.
Yes, but this is what America voted for. Not because most Americans want it but because most Americans are simply too wrapped up in themselves to care.
Only way this could get better for Hegseth is if he got to dress Hasan in Venezuelan fishermen clothes, or an Iranian schoolgirl uniform.

So this is what we’ve come to.
This is beyond capitalism, collapse is imminent
perfect representation of America as far as I can see
This is a great example of where people like Pete Hegseth (who is inherently corrupt) cloak their identity with religious morality to disguise their truest intentions.
It’s a shame because there are great people who are religious who get cast into the same net as this, but there are definitely others who (incorrectly) believe that a specific set of incantations will absolve them of serious, unethical behaviour.
Oh but there IS an incantation that saves them:
“I, Donald John Trump, pardon…”
That is, until we can mainstream the idea that corrupt pardons are inherently prohibited in the Constitution.
