Who are they executing? Can we 🏴‍☠️ it? We were all excited about Charlie Kirks death. Which was pretty fucked up to watch, while he's responding to a question he gets shot in the neck.

That's not even the biggest issue here.. The point seems to be more normalising murdering American citizens who are "traitors"..

What if I told you live streaming the execution wasn't about the money? The regime will claw money wherever they want. It's about power, humiliation, dehumanization, and desensitization. It's also a test. Can we get away with publicly executing people? They seem to have done it so far, cops and ICE have done it for a while. It won't stop at public execution of death row inmates. The Nazi train ...

And the scary part?

People who personally knew him for a long time said "DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM, HE IS SHIT". And people still voted for him

Assassination? Eh. This is the execution of a murderer. Televising it is gross and very ISIS of them, but the execution of a murderer by firing squad... I'm not upset by that. Maybe assassination is the correct term, since this administration is definitely politicizing it

This is utterly contextless. Are we talking about the Tennessee Botched Bitch?

I am astounded that especially Americans seem to be the ones who do not know about this. Even the public broadcaster here put it as a headline on both it's homepage and it's news segments, right next to the US showing they have no qualms with people who commit atrocities and instead attacking the people who fight against the people who committed these atrocities. Our newspapers (even the crappy...

Do you assume everything written needs to make sense to you? I even provided an explanation for the post and this idiot still said they don’t get it.

The younger generations need to step the the fuck up and quit with the entitled bullshit. The word doesn’t own them shit. If you don’t understand something, look it up. Ask your AI, whatever it is- but stop demanding things be custom tailored to your expectations.

Plenty of people understood exact what I said.

Dude/Dudette...you're posting to a sub literally called general on an instance called literally lemmy.world and expect everybody to be on the same page what your barbaric and uncultured government is doing? And then get angry about it?

Who said I’m angry?? What I see is a bunch of angry kids that read something they don’t understand and attacked me because- apparently the onus is on me to hold their hand through the entire thing.

So I added a description of the point and they still bark at me because their country didn’t get the memo.

Who fucking cares?! lol! Then it’s not for them and they can move on! But no!!! It HAS to be something they can consume!

lol. I think it’s funny. Annoying, but still funny.

Believe it or not, complaining about "handholding" people who just haven't looked at the news yet today and happened to stumble across your post first, sounds a lot like being an asshole.

Yet it’s not being an asshole to comment on a post complaining that you don’t understand it?

There a fuckton of shit posted on lemmy I don’t understand. Linux shit. Cybersecurity shit. Anime shit…. You’ve know what I do?

I move past it. It’s not for me. I don’t need to understand it and indont act like an asshole to the authors of these posts that I don’t get it.

I’m not entitled to understand everything I consume. So how about you go complain to the kids that believe energy. They read needs to be undershot and direly written and formatted for their abject understanding.

You can bet I won’t ever post to this community again though. So congrats- touve helped to curate the content in your little walled garden.

I honestly don’t get why people need their hands held through everything. It’s either that they are insanely entitled, or just fucking lazy.

If we don’t understand something, we look it up. We’re taught this in school. And if it still doesn’t make sense, then it’s not for you to understand, right?

But no- I get torn apart for not formatting it in a way that appeals to every possible person that would ever read it. Lmao!

I’m definitely never posting in this community again though again and have it filtered out of my feed. No one needs to be attacked for posting about something that might not appeal to everyone.

Hey kiddo. This wasn’t for you. You really need to stop the entitled bulshit and scroll past things that don’t pertain to you. Mmmkay?

Tell your little entitled friends to stop attacking people for posting shit that they have no interest in, or aren’t informed about and I won’t have to call them out in defense of myself.

Are you okay? Like, genuinely, is everything alright? I understand it gets frustrating, and lemmy is partly full of jerks, too, but the starter of this specific discussion chain just looks to have asked very casually, what is going on. Your reaction seems very aggressive from this outside perspective. Are people often harassing you here?

Ahhh! There’s that concern trolling… was wondering how long before this came up.

OP clearly thinks this practice of executing people publicly is very evil and is already mad and so that's impacting all the responses. What about also thanking OP for posting this difficult topic?

I gave context kiddo. Look at the bottom of the post. And if you googled this and it didn’t tell you anything, you suck at google.

Consider your hand held:

This is close to what a friend of mine witnessed 30 years ago in Nigeria. Criminals were punished in the "War
Against Indiscipline". Televised determents, such as beatings and amputations the right hand for stealing. The first man to suffer this was Bube Jangebe - for stealing a cow. This is many steps back to Medieval times. Next will be the rack.

Someone in the current administration has TV experience. Loves violence and views all but himself as expendable. Perhaps the ideal host?

No, the context is some dude who shot up a military base a couple years back if memory serves right of at least tried to. He's been set to be executed for use through the military courts and it just so happens Kegsbreath sees it as a great way to push his rancid ideology. Personally If your going to execute someone firing squad is probably one of the more human methods, but it shouldn't be televised or I guess live streamed.

This paves the way for judges to issue executions far more frequently and will result in the most colossally vile abuse of our legal system we will ever know.

This isn't hyperbole, American "justice" has done exactly, to minors no less!

two judges at the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas in Wilkes-Barre, were exposed for receiving kickbacks in return for harsh adjudications on juvenile deliquents to increase occupancy at a private prison operated by PA Child Care.
