  "account": "Prominent figures have spoken out against the Pentagon's plan to livestream Nidal Malik Hasan's execution by firing squad, which is scheduled for December 3. Henry Winkler, co-star of \"Happy Days\" and \"Barry,\" expressed concern on X, stating, \"Live execution?? Is this where we are now?\" Alyssa Farah Griffin, co-host of \"The View,\" also condemned the decision, writing, \"I support the death penalty, especially for terrorists. But I think it's toxic for society to live-stream an execution. And bad for the human soul to tune in to watch.\" Joyce Carol Oates likened the idea to \"sadism,\" warning that the memories of the event could imprint in the minds of those observing. Rep. Betty McCollum called the plan \"disturbing\" and urged its cessation, noting that the U.S. has not had a public execution since 1936.",
