Today on America Unfiltered, I’m explaining why I oppose it from a Catholic perspective. The Pentagon announced plans to livestream Hasan’s firing-squad execution, scheduled for December 3, following his conviction for murdering 13 people in the 2009 Fort Hood attack. The victims, survivors, and their families deserve justice. I believe turning an execution into a public spectacle takes us in the wrong direction. My Catholic faith shapes how I approach punishment, human dignity, repentance, and the value of life—even when the person involved has committed horrific crimes. The Church’s current teaching in Catechism paragraph 2267 calls the death penalty “inadmissible” and affirms that a person’s dignity remains even after grave wrongdoing. What separates justice from vengeance? What does broadcasting a killing do to the people watching? And how should Christians respond when an execution becomes something the public is encouraged to witness? I’ll be discussing the Fort Hood execution controversy, the proposed broadcast, and why I believe Catholics should oppose making death a spectacle.
