Donald Trump and his advisers are debating whether to call off plans to livestream the firing squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter, with Trump having remarked privately that he did not initially know that Nidal Hasan was paralyzed from the waist down, two sources familiar with the discussions told CNN.
The president was not aware that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was announcing last week that the administration planned to let the public watch the execution, the sources said, and was not sure what to make of it at first. Trump was, however, firmly behind the decision to execute Hasan via firing squad, multiple officials told CNN, and he’s often defended it in public.
lol just imagine firing squad unloading on a guy in a wheelchair tho
The current manual (which would probably be revised since it was last updated in the 1940s) calls for tying them up on a pole so they’d have to crucify him to get him standing upright
History of USA in a nutshell.
The local Catholic bishop is telling the Catholick troops to not be part of that. Then they figure out the guy can’t walk! I can’t imagine how that must feel. To be the guys that have to go wack a man on a wheelchair cuz some rich asshole wants you to do that for entertainment.
And still, more than zero people show up to his rallies. Wow! Those people must be super nice to know personally.
That’s obviously the problem. They want to normalize the kind of violence that targets vulnerable groups disproportionately, such as disabled people, but they need a “deserving” victim to remain palletable enough to the liberal masses so that they can gradually normalize this kind of violence.
USA! USA! USA!
In reality there is no difference if you’re standing or not.
