President Donald Trump is contemplating allowing a live broadcast of Nidal Malik Hasan's execution, the perpetrator of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 and wounded over 30. The military plans to carry out the firing squad execution on December 3rd, with the plan to make it publicly available to viewers. On one hand, Trump acknowledges the severity of Hasan's actions, describing him as a "vicious killer."
On the other hand, he ponders whether making the execution public could deter others from committing similar acts. The FCC and Pentagon are both on board with the decision, with the latter trusting Secretary Hegseth to make the right call.
