  "account": "On Thursday, US President Donald Trump announced that the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan would not be broadcast live via streaming, but immediate family members of the victims would have the option to watch it in person. Trump argued that the execution could serve as a deterrent for would-be terrorists, but many well-meaning individuals would prefer not to witness the event through any visual medium. The execution will still occur as planned by firing squad. However, family members of the victims may be granted permission to attend the in-person viewing if they choose. Some of Trump's Republican colleagues, including Vice President JD Vance, as well as religious leaders and international observers, have raised concerns about the Pentagon's decision to livestream the December 3 execution of Hasan. Recent polls indicate that a majority of Americans oppose streaming the execution. Hasan, a former US Army psychiatrist, was convicted in a military trial for the 2009 massacre of 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas.",
