The facts
Americans overwhelmingly opposed the Pentagon’s plan to livestream the firing‑squad execution of convicted Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan, scheduled for Dec. 3, 2026. Fox News Digital interviewed several respondents: Anya of Virginia called the plan “absolutely absurd” and urged discretion; Paul of Illinois called it “an abomination.” Others described the idea as “weird,” “medieval,” and a dangerous public spectacle. One Virginia resident suggested a pay‑per‑view model with proceeds to Gold Star families. Concerns were raised about children potentially accessing the broadcast. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced the decision last Thursday, and President Trump said he would decide whether to proceed, while Vice President J.D. Vance expressed uncertainty about the livestream.
Our take
Holy shit, where do you even start with this monumental pile of steaming, bureaucratic bullshit? The Pentagon, that hallowed institution of strategic genius, has apparently decided its core mission is now producing snuff films for public consumption. They’re not just executing a mass murderer; they’re turning it into a fucking pay‑per‑view event. What’s next, a sponsored segment from Raytheon? Color commentary from some prick in camo? This isn’t justice; it’s the goddamn Roman Colosseum with a better internet connection. Nidal Hasan is a worthless piece of shit who deserves every bad thing coming to him, but the point is the Pentagon’s infinite wisdom to treat a solemn death sentence like a livestreamed reality show. They must have hired a focus group of edgy teens to design their public outreach: Make it more interactive! Live chat voting on which limb to shoot first? This brain trust oversees a trillion‑dollar budget and worries about engagement metrics. And let’s talk about the architect of this shitshow, ‘Secretary of War’ Pete Hegseth. That pretentious title masks a man overseeing a televised murder, a pathetic, small‑dick power play by an administration that gets off on cruelty as performance art. They’re not satisfying a public need for closure; they’re feeding the worst, most bloodthirsty impulses of the internet because they think it makes them look ‘tough.’ It doesn’t. It makes you look like a bunch of insecure, medieval cunts who think state violence is a spectator sport. The public, to its credit, mostly sees this for the abomination it is. Anya from Virginia nailed it: it’s ‘absolutely absurd.’ Paul from Illinois called it an ‘abomination.’ They’re right. This isn’t about justice for the victims or Gold Star families; it’s about turning tragedy into a fucking spectacle. The one dickhead who suggested charging for it and donating the proceeds epitomizes this grifter mentality: monetize the execution. Why stop there? Sell NFT screenshots of the moment of death. Have a halftime show. What about the kids, you absolute fucking morons? In an age where parents already shield their children from online horror, the U.S. government is about to pump a state execution directly into the digital ether. ‘Hey kids, instead of Fortnite, why not watch a real‑life firing squad brought to you by the Department of Defense?’ This isn’t governance; it’s the death rattle of a civilization that has confused brutality for strength and publicity for principle. It’s a pathetic, cowardly, and deeply stupid act by people who should know infinitely better but are too busy sniffing their own farts of self‑importance to notice they’ve become the villains in their own fucking story.
