@hiru_news_english: Donald Trump Says He Will Make Final Decision About Whether or Not to Livestream Nidal Hasan’s Execution US President Donald Trump says he will make the final decision on whether the planned firing squad execution of former Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan will be livestreamed, days after giving initial approval to the broadcast. Hasan killed 13 people and wounded 32 in a shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, in November 2009. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recommended execution by firing squad, and Trump approved the plan, according to Pentagon officials. Hegseth later said the execution would be public so people could understand the consequences of such attacks. Speaking at the White House on October 10, Trump said there were arguments both for and against broadcasting the execution, suggesting that showing it might deter similar crimes. He described Hasan as a “vicious killer” and said he would make the ultimate decision, despite previously saying he had approved the livestream. The proposal has drawn criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, as well as survivors of the shooting. Survivor Alonzo Lunsford, who was shot seven times, warned against turning the execution into a spectacle. Another survivor, Dayna Ferguson Roscoe, said the broadcast would not change the outcome. If carried out as scheduled on December 3 at Fort Hood, Hasan’s execution would be the first US military execution since 1961. #HiruNews #HiruNewsLK #TruthAtAllCosts See less
