HEBRON, Ky. (AP) — Vice President JD Vance cast doubt on Friday whether the Pentagon will livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan in December but told reporters that if it is livestreamed, “I’m not going to be watching it.”

The Republican vice president said, “I don’t know that that’s actually going to happen,” when asked about the plans that the Pentagon confirmed on Thursday.

I’ve been complaining about this POS still breathing my air for years . 17 years. If that base had allowed for concealed carry it would have been less than 17 seconds .

Vance has excellent judgement, IMHO. And I agree…. it should not be live-streamed or even video recorded,

A public execution is a much stronger deterrent.

He doesn’t deserve the attention. Do it quietly and announce it two weeks after, like they do in Japan.

Vance needs to decide whether he’s going to be a team player or not. If not, well, non team players don’t fare too well with President Trump.

In the movie, the execution was a botch, as they missed the heart.

They were ready to do the second volley, but he expired before it was necessary.

People. This episode is vintage Trump without Trump. 4 weeks before the election eyebrows are raised. Everyone has an opinion to expresses. Live streaming would not be in good taste but in these tense times any issue that gets people to pay attention puts pressure on them to take a stand. There’s no room for sitting this one out. Vance is playing the adult while everyone knee jerk reacts.

Prediction: The execution will be done quietly. No live streaming. The announcement will happen after election. As I said it wouldn’t be in good taste.

Live stream is a very bad idea.

JD has a soft spot for muzzies, maybe ‘cause they also hate Jews.

No every Fort Hood Veteran demands to see this if they fail I will not vote for Vance or anyone else who stops this in 28 bank on that it’s not negotiable. I lost brother’s that day. Mess with us and this gets ugly fast. I would be there in person if allowed to.
