The Fort Hood tragedy still hurts. Broadcasting this feels completely inappropriate and disrespectful to the victims’ families.
I wonder if they mean a press conference afterward, not the actual execution. That would be more respectful.
This raises serious ethical questions about voyeurism and the glorification of state violence. Why show it to the public?
Surely this is just a sensationalized headline. The Pentagon wouldn’t broadcast an execution live like a sporting event.
