Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has announced that the execution of convicted Fort Hood Islamist terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan will be "PUBLIC," with American soldiers carrying out the firing squad at the very military installation where Hasan murdered 13 people and wounded 32 others in 2009.
The Trump administration has scheduled the execution for December 3, 2026, at 1 p.m. Central Time, returning the convicted mass murderer to Fort Hood, Texas, at approximately the same time of day he launched his deadly rampage nearly 17 years ago.
Hegseth revealed the plans during an exclusive interview with conservative commentator Jack Posobiec on Human Events Daily, delivering an unapologetic message about the consequences of Islamist terrorism against American troops.
According to Human Events, Hegseth confirmed that the execution would be conducted by an Army firing squad and that members of the public would be permitted to witness it.
“Execution by firing squad. Army major betrays his country, radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course we’re gonna do it at Fort Hood. We’re gonna do it on a Thursday. We’re gonna do it at 1 o’clock, which is when he did it,” Hegseth said. “And it’s gonna be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad.”
“We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it. That it’s public. Because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things.”
While the execution itself is permitted under the military justice system, a public execution does not necessarily mean that Americans will be allowed to show up at Fort Hood and watch.
Under the Army's execution procedures, authorized witnesses can attend executions, including designated military officials and other approved observers.
Journalists, victims' family representatives, and other individuals may also be permitted to witness proceedings under applicable military regulations.
However, Hegseth has not specified whether his announcement means allowing additional members of the public to attend, expanding media access.
This is how it should be.
Make these public.
They should be televised.
Hmmm, I was hoping for live stream or at least pay-per-view.
There should be a line for “piss be upon him”.
Here’s your next “bring out your dead” thread 🤣
Hope it’s live streamed...............
I woukd not be adverse to chopping his rotting corpse up and feeding the pieces to pigs.
Why not hanging?
This guy was one of Obama’s solitaire players.
Not military enough.............
Excellent.
L
Some lib bleeding heart org will try and stop it with the courts...............
More like dead streamed.
“August 14, 1936 — A crowd variously estimated at 10,000 to 20,000 gathered at Owensboro, Kentucky on this day to watch the last ever public hanging in the United States.”
Having lived in the Kingdom and witnessing head and hand choppings in Taif head square, I can say public executions are sorely needed to keep the bad guys in check.
Televised Justice works miracles.
Cool, is it pay-per-view.
I’ll buy, and the money should go to the families. As a matter of fact you could auction off the positions on the firing squad, I’m interested and will bring my own ammo.
The last public hanging in Florida was in our county seat on the courthouse grounds in Crestview.
Newspaper accounts of the time said it was like a fair atmosphere, with people coming from all over to watch and had picnics and vendors were hawking food and drinks............
Early thread winner!
