Firing Squad at Ft Hood, Tx

[Salty]

The execution of Nidal Hasan by firing squad will take place at Fort Hood, Texas on Thursday, December 3rd, 2026, at 1 p.m. CT.

Thoughts?

Do I believe he deserves this? Yes, however I have -0- interest in watching a man die.

The state has the right to execute.

Christians should not participate nor should we applaud the execution of anyone.

BYW, I think he is at Fort Leavenworth Kansas, though he killed people at Fort Hood.

BTW #2, “we will probably never know why he did it…’

Peace to you

The only part I disagree with is that it's going to be livestreamed. That footage is going to live on the internet forever and can have unintended consequences, like memes being generated and passed around on social media.

I think it's perfectly fine to rejoice in the fact that justice will be given to the victims and their families. At the same time, the fact that a fellow image bearer is about to meet his Maker is not something that should be taken lightly and should be a sobering moment for all of us.

You have a very good point, but I'm afraid that's a consequence of what the world today calls "progress".

Those first meme's will be out within minutes of the execution, and IMO that's just sickening.

It was announced the excutition will be at Ft Hood - the location of the murders. It will take place at 1300 hours - the time the Major starting the massacre.
Could be he was in the stockade at Leavenworth, as that is the military prison.
I would understand if a Christian was selected to be on the firing squad.
The reason is he was doing the will of Allah '

I would not use the term "rejoice" - but realize that justice is be carried out. I trust this will be a lesson for anyone else.
Again, I understand if it is to be livestream. Some say it is wrong to do so. Well, lets take a lesson from them: "If you dont want an abortion - dont have one" So, I suppose we could say - If you don't to watch an excutition - turn off the TV.
And yes, Kai - I fully agree - "... and should be a sobering moment for all of us."

Yes, justice is being carried out, but as a lesson for others I'm not sure. Radical Islamists
continue to blown themselves up intentionally in order to kill "infidels"...death doesn't
seem to be much of a deterrent for them.
