I couldnt care less about Hasan , but putting the power of publicly televised executions in the hands of a lunatic like Hegseth sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
I'm surprised that america's elite xtian warrior isn't going to pull the trigger himself ...
He'd be afraid everyone would see him miss.
He knows that he will be "TOO DRUNK" at that moment, so he is going to have sex with his new girlfriend and watch. It excites him.
"Isn't that LOVE-ER-LY, Judy"?
Will they take TRUMP with him to the Execution and invite "T-Diddy Rump Roast" to join in with the KILLER, after all, "Dirty Diaper Donnie" is a killer, so why not make it a twofer?
it's an important precedent that probably needs to occur prior to all the investigations and trials for unconstitutional acts by the current administration ...
A similarity from when there was no TV.
Kill the murderer, but don't turn this into another reality show.
Figures Trump would go this route.
Imagine the betting that will go on about certain aspects of this.
And will it lead to bloodlust demand such as monthly public firing squads? There are hundreds of people on death row.
Will Hegseth force military personnel to watch it?
Will there be a tv host and slow motion replay?
I wouldnt put anything past these madmen.
Nor would I.
Right, for example the shooters don't hit a fatal spot. Then is it a situation like the present lethal injection one?
i think at that point someone would just shoot him in the head
Only the fatties and beardoes...
coup de grâce ...
pete just wants to kill a muslim off for his thumper sycophants before the midterms ...
Well if you mob are such crook shots then a bullet to the back of the head works just fine..
No dramatics, no theatre, quietly done and exterminated with the minimum of fuss..
Just get it right this time..
Won't happen...
...duh, reload ...
Yeah - let the Jackal do it - no one will know.
Coming soon, America's new reality show, "America's Wildest Executions."
Trump will host.
😉
a new prime time show, wheel of misfortune ...
see @9
No need for the livestream. Just shoot him and be done with it,
I'm not against the death penalty in select cases where it is appropriate, but livestreaming it for the public is just ghoulish and really unacceptable. Leave it to the trumpist regime to consider something so horrific and unnecessary.
Well, Robespierre was a fan of the guillotine, but he died by the guillotine. Hegseth should read his history.
I am torn between two responses.
This is really stupid and ghoulish.
I hear the Coliseum is open this weekend. Maybe they could get some lions and stream a really old time show.
Put it on pay per view with the proceeds going to his victims.
MAGA Bloodlust...
that term will take on a whole new meaning when trump interferes with the midterm elections ...
This administration has been firing blanks with every decision they have made. And while this action will be taken with real ammunition, it is still unnecessary, freakishly voyeuristic, and yet another distraction to stream it live.
Pathetic…as always. This surreal aberration cannot end soon enough.
Yeah - why follow the UCMJ or the Constitution - only stupid pieces of paper.
Where in the UCMJ or the CotUS does it state that we should conduct live streamed public executions?
Not what I said - as usual.
And JBB never said we shouldn't follow the UCMJ or the Constitution.
That didn't stop you from arguing with him as if he had.
Explain then your intended meaning of this sarcastic quip:
Normal English readers would interpret this quip as you claiming that this planned execution is per the UCMJ / CotUS.
based upon the commenters current support of those disregarding our constitution, I doubt that was sarcasm ...
Oh, TRUMP exceeds everyone and everything, now that he is KIND, and occasionally Q U E E N!
Belarus is the Russian mini-me. The other three are questionable for various reasons. Why do we want to be in such a group?
I'm not going to discount the effectiveness of firing squads while it's still possible for criminals and traitors to get elected ...
I had always thought that Saudi Arabia did their executions by beheading (as advocated by Shariah Law), So I googled it.
Apparently most executions there are by beheading-- but execution by firing squad is allowed and are done occasionally.
Trump wants in with his FRIENDS, so he can execute Americans at his pleasure. Ain't "Donny Dumb Fuc" something else besides a CHILD RAPIST?
Is anyone concerned that children might watch the stream?
I'm pretty sure that's the primary audience xtian nationalist pete is aiming for. it's all part of the thumper warrior ethos ...
Poor Pete might shoot himself in the head when he is that drunk!
gee, that would be tragic ...
I remember when everybody was worried about kids watching violent movies and playing violent video games, and that they would become desensitized to violence. But I'm betting there will be people who encourage the viewing of executions by children.
especially thumpers
Netflix/MAX/HBO/Encore/Stars/Paramount/etc. - they're already watching it - and this month, being Halloween, is going to be much worse.
Fiction vs. real life. There is a difference.
Unfortunately there are many folks who can no longer tell the difference[✘]
T.iG., who told you that lie? Was it the little "i"?
Thanks - understand.
hit meat on that one ...
Yes.
While watching the news this morning about the livestreaming of the execution, it came to mind that there is no way to prevent young children with developing minds from watching the spectacle. Notwithstanding that the man deserves punishment, it just came to mind how seeing it happen will influence children as to the fact that it's obviously okay to kill people with guns because of watching it legally happen in that case. Good luck with the results of such theatrics. I doubt that the spectacle will have much effect towards reducing the proliferation of American gun violence.
[✘]
I don't think reducing gun violence is one of their goals,
Do you think it will win votes?
I am seriously wondering what the families of the victims think and feel about this.
Do the victims families want this?
Airing this live will end up being shared around the world creating more extremists against America. Now we will be the barbarians.
Why is this administration and everyone in it dragging America down? This isn't right on any level.
Today, Trump either said he doesnt know anything about it or he just wants the guy dead and doesnt care how it is done.
Some Republicans pushed back today though, so maybe it wont happen.
Even Vance said he wouldn't be watching.
Blind squirrels and nuts.
Secretary of Homeland Security Mullin said Trump is just trying to bring back and promote American values. So, let's work out this deal:
1. The execution of mass murderer Dylann Roof, preferably by hanging, will be livestreamed immediately following the livestreamed execution of Hasan.
2. Since the goal is to promote American values, the livestream of both executions will be required viewing in every classroom in every school in American, whether public, private or religious, for all students K through 12, without exception.
Sounds reasonable to me.
