The planned execution of the Fort Hood shooter.

The Defense Department plans to livestream the December 3 firing squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter, who killed 13 people in 2009 and was sentenced to death in 2013. It would be the first U.S. military execution since 1961 and the first by firing squad since 1945. Lawmakers from both parties have objected to the livestream, and President Trump says he is still deciding. The article summarizes left and right arguments, with the left calling it a harmful spectacle and the right split between support, martyrdom concerns, and debates over execution methods.
