“We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it that is public because people need to understand that this is a serious consequence for these types of things.” Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense
Similar to what ‘lovely’ countries like Iran and North Korea do, the DUI hire, Pete Hegseth, wants to live stream the execution of Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan. The army announced they will execute Hasan firing squad on December 3rd at 1PM, the same time Hasan killed 13 people and injured 32 others in a shooting at the military base in 2009. The military has not executed anyone in over 65 years.
Hegseth, speaking to the conservative TV outlet Real America’s Voice on Wednesday, said, “We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public.” Officials in the Pentagon clarified Thursday that the execution would be livestreamed and that more details would follow.
Trump has spoken out against public executions in Iran
Trump, who approved Hasan’s execution, has previously been critical of public executions in Iran, at times using the possibility of protesters being killed by the Iranian government as a possible rationale for military action that preceded his ultimate choice to attack Iran on Feb. 28.
“We’ve been told that the killing in Iran is stopping,” Trump told reporters on Jan. 14. “It’s stopping, and there’s no plan for executions.”
In his State of the Union address just days before launching the Iran war, Trump reiterated, “We stopped them from hanging a lot of them with the threat of serious violence.”
