It may actually be Vance.

Vance suggests Nidal Hasan’s execution won’t be livestreamed, contradicting Hegseth

The defense secretary had said on Thursday that the convicted Fort Hood shooter’s execution by firing squad would be livestreamed for the public.

Sounding like Hegseth is getting the bus.

Trump says he ‘wasn’t involved’ in plan to livestream execution of Fort Hood murderer

President Trump stepped back from earlier comments that he approved the plan to livestream the execution of Fort Hood killer, saying he wasn’t involved in it.

Readers wishing to tune in for live event may expect to see something like this.

Or, maybe not, as it will be the first U.S. military execution by firing squad since January 1945,

Twelve men from the 109th Regiment formed the firing squad with M1 Garand rifles. Eleven rifles held live rounds, one held a blank.

I wonder if the the US government has asked private industry to sponsor this…
Budweiser might go for it

Or on second thought…Colt, Winchester…and Pabst Blue Ribbon

I fully support the death penalty.

And I can find any number of horrors online if I want to look hard enough.

But publicly making a martyr of someone I don't understand. This will only embolden people who share the evil doer's views.

I'm generally a bit leery about the death penalty, given how imperfect any system - including justice - can be.

In this case, 100% OK with the death penalty given that, 1) he betrayed his Hippocratic oath re: helping vs. hurting people (remember, he was an MD/psychiatrist), 2) he betrayed the oath/duty of protecting his colleagues, and 3) he swore allegiance to shitty folks wanting to do serious harm to the country he was supposed to help protect.

That said, making it an almost pay-per-view event is, to be polite, below the standard expected. He said he wanted to be a martyr, so he'll get that, but the U.S. actively helping him amplify that by providing state-produced video of the execution to the world doesn't exactly exude an air of solemn professionalism in doing a tough but necessary task.

Wielding state-sanctioned violence shouldn't be a spectator blood sport - unless ISIS, Afghanistan/the Taliban, North Korea or Iran are the standards aimed for.

This.

It should be a closed event with only appropriate quantity of family representatives, government legal and military’s witnesses of the event.

It is almost incomprehensible that the U.S. wouldn’t understand how the proposed execution methodology couldn’t help but martyrize Hasan and strengthen the call for Jihad against the U.S.

I guess someone forgot that in Nuremberg, the hangings of even Nazi war criminals weren't even make public.

It was a different time, I guess.

The backside of the fascist rise, not the frontside, some might posit.

Have these clowns thought about how this will look when this guy screams “Allahu Akbar!” just before he’s shot? Or how martyrizing it will look of him muzzled and strapped to a wheelchair?

Conceptual indeed. Personnel downrange and the accused facing away.

This administration is conducting a holy war and has some version of god on its side.

This video would end up on a recruiting loop of every radial group worldwide.

The way Kid Rock took on Budweiser for being "woke" , he looked like a one-man firing squad.

"Just a tantrum with a machine gun."

Kid Rock says Bud Light bashing was just ‘a tantrum with a machine gun’

“I was pissed, but it wasn’t like it was going to wreck my day, let alone my life,” the musician recalled on the podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

Probably to hide all the Nazis we pardoned and brought to North America.

Hopefully, he doesn't go with this for the firing squad,

They had a terrorism problem and there's a whole thing with swine and pigs and you know the story they don't like them ... and Gen. Pershing was a rough guy and he sits on his horse and he's very astute, like a ramrod. ... And he caught 50 terrorists that did tremendous damage and killed many people ... and he dipped 50 bullets in pig's blood," Trump explained.

"And he had his men load his rifles and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people," he continued. "And the 50th person he said, 'You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.' And for 25 years there wasn't a problem, OK? Twenty-five years there wasn't a problem!"

It is unclear why Trump's original claim of "25 years" without "a problem" increased to "35 years" in his tweet Thursday.

At a March 2016 rally, he escalated the number to 42 years.

Trump refers to inaccurate anecdote about Gen. Pershing

The president repeated the story on multiple occasions during the campaign.
