It’s not enough that the Pentagon execution won’t be televised
First source report
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced earlier this month that the United States will carry out the death penalty on Nidal Hasan via a public firing squad. Hasan was a gunman who killed 13 people and injured 32 others in 2009.
This marks the first time the United States will conduct a public execution since 1936. The execution is scheduled to take place at the Pentagon.
