Cheers. I deduced that someone was live streaming an execution but didn’t think it would be the US government. That’s fucked.

Who else would you think it would be? John Livekill?

Just look away. Human life is precious, even though it's treated cheaply by powerful thugs. If you view that shit it will stick with you and affect you for the rest of your life.

I watched the first season of Slow Horses recently where a group of terrorists kidnap a kid and plan to livestream executing him. I assumed it was something like that. I really don’t see how this post makes it obvious to assume that it’s being done by the U.S. government 🤷

Yet if any major network actually carries that, we need to know

YouTube needs to know we’re not ok

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

Anyone reading regional northeast news, knew he was a shit for decades.

Somehow paying for an insipid “reality” show to rehabilitate his image worked. What does that say about our fellow citizens?

I actually have no idea what this post is about, somebody enlighten me?

The administration is planning on a public execution live-streamed online. The person being executed is a former Army major and psychiatrist who killed 13 people in a mass shooting at Fort Hood Army Base in Texas back in 2009.

The condemned is a monster, but this is a test case for more public executions. They're bringing back public lynchings.

If you want to watch snuff films, you can see more gruesome and gory stuff on Telegram or Reddit.. and this already for decades now.

Watch some of the stuff coming out of Yemen or Ukraine for the past 6 years. Makes a prison execution look like a barney video.

NO.

Every single Trump supporter needs to watch this. Every fucking fence-sitter needs to watch this. Every apologist needs to watch this. Every person who thinks Trump is the only problem and things will go back to normal after he's gone needs to watch this. Everyone who still denies the US is an authoritarian empire needs to watch this.

They need to watch it to drive home that the imaginary version of America in their heads DOES NOT FUCKING EXIST. The US is an authoritarian corporatocracy where the dollar is god and the rich take pleasure in the misery and pain of everyone else. Every single fucking American needs to know they are part of the evil empire. Every single American needs to know that the rest of the world sees them as the bad guys, and this is why they need to watch it.

Edit: The downvoters really just don't get it. Americans like to pretend that they are the greatest country in the world. They tell themselves that lie constantly. I worked there for years and I had to leave to escape the toxicity. If no one holds a mirror up to their evil depravity, they will never see themselves for what they are. A bloated, evil corrupt empire. There is a reson the people who lived near Auschwitz (and other towns) were forced marched through the camps after the war ended, so they could see the sheer evils they pretended like they didn't know about.

Fuck that. Make the Americans see the evil perpetuated in their names.

I've got a better reason... Watching it will only make you a worse person. And I don't mean in the sense it's morally wrong, but that the act of joining in the crowd cheering for suffering and death will inevitably chip away at your empathy I doubt the primary reason is monetary, this is the kind of wannabe influencer bullshit the MAGA leaders love to put on. It's performative larper fascism. I...

Every American needs to watch to drive home the horror about what their country has become. Every one of them should be forced to watch. Because turning away from the spectacle is turning away from the horror. No American should be allowed to bury their fucking head in the sand and pretend like it's not as bad as it is.

I can only imagine the little MAGAts are gonna taste blood and are gonna want to have people executed for less and less. Immigrants, people with different political views / opinions, the lady that looked at them funny in the grocery store, etc.

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.

The Taliban converted soccer stadiums to execution arenas. The US paid for those stadiums. So in a way, it's coming home.

Not a monster. That's pretending their actions are not human. Dehumanizing criminals sabotages genuine efforts at preventing crime.

So it's alright with you if someone from another country stumbles across a link or advertisement for the live execution and pays to see it? As long as they're not american....

Well, that’s not very fair! I just watched a tiger maul a guy and I’m not to keen on that happening again! Although it probably will… Because that’s something like the second time in 10 years :P

I'm okay with mass murderers being executed; there's no question of his guilt.

I do think that it should be pay-per-view, with the earnings going directly to the victims and their families.

There's much worse on video available everywhere, just awful torture and rape and murders from all of our various wars.

We've all seen all of the horror that we want and probably more; this is PG material, really, it wouldn't even qualify for an R rating.

Cool. So supporting this is asking for it to happen more. And as I said, there will be far more execution verdicts passed down because the judges and MAGA will want their cash as well.

This will end poorly.

Those people are already lost. There are a lot who just don't see what their country really is. If you don't force them to see it, they never will admit to it. American civilians need to see the atrocities, so maybe they will actually do something instead of just throwing their hands up and saying, "Well I didn't vote for him"

Fuck that. You do not need to watch a live streamed snuff film. Absolutely not

That will not drive any point home that a decent person wants people to understand, have you seen someone die violently before? I have. I reacted by getting children away before trying to help, I had the benefit of acting perfectly according to my morals without thought

The most disturbing part is how life just goes on like nothing happened. The most disturbing part how easily you can witness a death you have no part in and just keep going. Like it never even happened

I see what you're trying to go for, but this is not the way.

It's going to be another thing that when I hear somebody partook in it I can clear them off of my give a fuck list forever.

If someone asks me if I watched it and then proceeds to tell me that they did, I'll just walk away. I have no time for anyone who would willingly watch a murder.

Sweet. I'm okay with more mass murderers being executed, and more execution verdicts of mass murderers.

Judges and MAGA and Democrats are making money hand over fist with no executions of mass murderers. They can't make more money. They have all of the money.

... and of course this will end poorly. Every empire falls, they all end poorly.

It isn't Libertarian, it's capitalist.

Libertarians are usually against the death penalty, in my experience; the party platform is against executions.

As am I... personally, I wouldn't televise this, and am usually against the death penalty, but there are exceptions.

  1. This is a mass murderer without any question of guilt.
  2. This is a military crime, not civilian.
