Alonzo Lunsford, the former Army staff sergeant shot seven times by Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood in 2009, supports the execution of Hasan and intends to witness it on Dec. 3, but he has a message for Americans who want to watch the killing online, Fox News reported. “It’s not a spectacle,” he said. “There’s nothing glorified in the smell of human flesh, blood and gunpowder. It’s a smell you will never forget. … This ain’t no country where we do public beheadings and stonings and think it’s fine.”

Lunsford told Fox that treating the execution as entertainment dishonors the 13 who were killed. Opposition to Hegseth’s barbaric livestream now runs from Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.), “live-streaming executions is what jihadists do,” and Sen. Thom Tillis, “beyond disgusting,” to the Catholic bishops, who oppose the execution itself, and to former Treasury counterterrorism official Matthew Levitt, who warned that the footage would hand terrorist groups “a video clip they can effectively splice into radicalization propaganda.” Vice President Vance said Friday, “I don’t know that that’s actually going to happen,” and Trump said Saturday he will decide.
