if you've read enough history you know the authoritarian path the u.s is headed down towards.
this public execution buys implied consent to execute 'enemies' of the state.
it also forces state governors aligned with the president to livestream executions of those on death row as 'deterrent'. then later go execute enemies of the state.
however as most people know through projects like the innocence project - some people on deathrow are innocent but are victims of racism etc.

We're going down a dark path. An uncivilized one. It will eventually touch people far more innocent than the criminal in this case.

You need to update your priors a fair bit. The government has already sent innocent people to prison camps and gunned them down in the street.

And so the Trump Administration joins ISIS and Al-Quaeda in the “Livestreams Executions” club.

The last public execution in my country ended up such bloody debacle that the crowd ended up attacking the officials. The death penalty was quickly abolished after that.

Absolutely despicable and very ominous sign about the return of barbarism. I hope the new American pope protests. Turning an execution into entertainment is not a Christian value.

I sincerely hope this is foiled by technical problems and treated as snuff content. A sickening thing to try and encourage people to watch.

It’s incredible how dedicated Hegseth is to being evil. So many regime officials are merely greedy or suck-ups, and he’s out here manufacturing completely pointless evil that Trump did not ask for and will not benefit from.

There are conflicting reports about Hegseth possibly running for president. So this may be a campaign stunt.
The execution of the Fort Hood shooter will be unprecedented, marking the U.S. military's first execution in about 65 years and its first by firing squad since World War II, with the entire proceeding to be live-streamed to the public over the internet.
