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”.
If you watch this, you’re a massive piece of shit.
should be mandatory viewing for everyone imo, to drive home how far things have gone/fallen
Somehow I agree with both of you.
I’m inclined to agree with you. For most people their only experience of this is the movies. We hide death from the public and then wonder why so many are indifferent. It’s by design. There is a reason the news doesn’t show it anymore.
Show them. Let them feast their eyes on the horrors of the world.
If you watch this, you’re a massive piece of shit.
These aren’t mutually exclusive positions. We’re massive pieces of shit for letting it get this bad and this is like having our noses rubbed in the shit we made while being scolded, like old ways of housetraining a dog.
That said, I still won’t be watching. They’ll consider views as support for what they’re doing, and I don’t support this.
