Pentagon to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan

Original version ·

Everything is content now, apparently, including state-sanctioned justice.

The Pentagon just announced that the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan Hasan, the shooter behind the Fort Hood massacre, is going to be broadcast live. This follows a direct order from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Hegseth that the event be made public.

We are officially entering an era where the most grim government tasks get the social media treatment. It turns out that transparency in the justice system now means making sure anyone with an internet connection can watch the final moments of a death row inmate.

Society has officially turned execution into a pay-per-view spectacle without the pay-per-view part.
