Hegseth announced last week that the US public would be able to see the execution of Nidal Hasan, which is set for 3 December at Fort Hood, Texas. Hasan, a former army major and psychiatrist, killed 13 people and wounded 32 at Fort Hood in 2009. A military court sentenced him to death in August 2013.
“We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public,” Hegseth said. “It was a radical Islamist attack in uniform inside the ranks, and so he’s going to get a firing squad of soldiers – as it should be.”
The de facto leader of Hegseth’s theocratic Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), Douglas Wilson, welcomed the announcement.
Just for the record it’s “murder”, not “kill”.
Murder is the unjustified killing of another, and to be clear, their god justified bashing babies against rocks over an imagined slight that didn’t happen hundreds of years prior,
Also their god thought an appropriate response to children making fun of a bald guy was sending bears to maul them.
Spare the bear, spoil the bairn
