It is nothing short of murder for pay. The media companies are guaranteed to already be selling ad space for it and it will bring in billions. And- we should all know already that the nazi organization known as MAGA have already claimed their share of it.

PLEASE- Do not watch this. Do not let them monetize executions.

This paves the way for judges to issue executions far more frequently and will result in the most colossally vile abuse of our legal system we will ever know.

DO NOT WATCH IT. DO NOT SUPPORT MONETIZING MURDER.

(EDIT: it’s been brought to my attention that people need their hand held so, what I am referring to here is that MAGA is going to use American military and social media to publicly execute someone. Whoever hosted it will absolutely profit from it and there is no way MAGA isn’t also going to take their cut)

Assassination? Eh. This is the execution of a murderer.
Televising it is gross and very ISIS of them, but the execution of a murderer by firing squad... I'm not upset by that.

Maybe assassination is the correct term, since this administration is definitely politicizing it

This is utterly contextless. Are we talking about the Tennessee Botched Bitch?

No, the context is some dude who shot up a military base a couple years back if memory serves right of at least tried to. He's been set to be executed for use through the military courts and it just so happens Kegsbreath sees it as a great way to push his rancid ideology. Personally If your going to execute someone firing squad is probably one of the more human methods, but it shouldn't be televised or I guess live streamed.
