绝大多数美国人反对五角大楼于今年晚些时候直播定罪的胡德堡大规模枪击案枪手尼达尔·哈桑的行刑队处决。
接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的民众斥责这场直播“可耻”且“怪异至极”。
“我觉得这完全荒唐，”来自弗吉尼亚州的安雅在被问及战争部长皮特·赫格斯宣布的直播计划时说道，“他们应该保密，不让公众新闻报道此事。”
“这令人发指。不该发生这种事，”来自伊利诺伊州的保罗斩钉截铁地表示，“我真不想成为被指派扣动扳机的士兵之一。”
赫格斯上周四宣布将对处决过程进行公开直播。这将是六十多年来美国军方首次执行死刑。

战争部已经推进了对胡德堡枪手尼达尔·哈桑的处决申请。
这名2009年在胡德堡枪杀13人、致32人受伤的大规模枪击者的处决定于2026年12月3日执行。枪击发生时身为陆军精神病医生的哈桑现年56岁，因在近17年前被捕期间被警察开枪击中而部分瘫痪，目前依靠轮椅行动。
多名接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的美国人支持对哈桑判处死刑，但反对直播处决过程，警告此举可能将死刑变成公开闹剧，在当前的政治氛围下尤其危险。
“我不一定反对给他判死刑，但我觉得为了供人娱乐而直播此事太怪异了，”来自弗吉尼亚州的尼克说道。
“我赞同这个判决，”来自马萨诸塞州的博比说，“但我不赞成电视直播。”
他补充道：“尤其是考虑到当下的氛围，我不确定我们需要看到这种场面。”
“这不是现代社会该有的做法，”来自俄亥俄州的里德说道，“在我看来这相当中世纪。我当然支持对这类滔天大罪判处死刑，但我认为……这会把死刑变成一场本不该有的闹剧。”

但一名弗吉尼亚州男子持截然不同的立场，提议政府应该向美国人收取观看处决的费用，并将所得捐献给因公殉职的美军军人家属。
“我觉得他们错失了一个机会，”来自弗吉尼亚州的杰森说，“应该按次付费，所有收入都应捐给金星家属（注：指美军阵亡军人家属）。”
他继续说道：“这是一名谋杀我国的叛国者。相关报道并不多。所以我认为公众需要且有权了解相应的后果，说白了，就是罪有应得。”

一些人担忧此次处决会让儿童容易接触到直播中哈桑被处决的画面。
“我们的社会暴力已经够多了，”来自弗吉尼亚州的威廉说道，“我相当确定他有罪，但没必要公之于众。孩子们可能会看到这个。”
“我就是觉得这类事不该上主流媒体，”来自马萨诸塞州的费里斯说，“尤其是考虑到孩子们可能会接触到这类内容。”
另一名受访者指出了哈桑的健康状况，称如果他“能正常活动”，情况可能会有所不同，并以枪手的健康状况为由，认为直播处决更加不妥。
“你在处决一名精神不稳定、坐着轮椅的人，”一名受访者告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
特朗普政府宣布直播处决的决定在很大程度上被视为美国的一种权力展示，旨在表明在美国本土实施此类恐怖行为——尤其是针对美军成员的暴力行为——的后果。
“我认为他们想拿他做个典型，你懂的？”尼克说，“这就像是一种权力展示。他们想表现出……‘别惹我们’。”

“我认为这传递出的信息是我们强大且强硬，但我们已经没多少人性可言了，”保罗说。
特朗普周六表示，他将决定是否直播哈桑的处决，承认在赫格斯证实此事后，他了解“军方的意愿”。

副总统JD·万斯周五也表示，不确定联邦政府是否会直播此次处决，并补充说他个人不会观看直播。
“世界疯了，”安雅说，“我们需要耶稣。”

Americans draw the line at livestreaming ‘spectacle’ of Fort Hood shooter’s execution: ‘It’s an abomination’

Americans are overwhelmingly against the Pentagon’s decision to livestream the firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan later this year.
Those who spoke with Fox News Digital blasted the broadcast as “a shame” and “just weird.”
“I think that’s absolutely absurd,” Anya from Virginia said when asked about the livestream announced by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. “I think they should keep that discreet and off of the public news.”
“It’s an abomination. It should not happen,” Paul from Illinois definitively stated. “And I’d hate to be one of the soldiers that’s tasked with the job of pulling the trigger.”
Hegseth announced last Thursday the decision to make viewing the execution publicly available. It is set to be the first U.S. military execution in over six decades.
PENTAGON CONFIRMS FORT HOOD TERRORIST’S FIRING SQUAD EXECUTION WILL BE LIVESTREAMED: ‘DETAILS WILL FOLLOW’
The Department of War has advanced the request for the execution of the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan.
The execution of the mass shooter who killed 13 people and injured 32 in 2009 at Fort Hood, is scheduled for Dec. 3, 2026. Hasan, an Army psychiatrist at the time of the shooting, is now 56 years old and is wheelchair-bound after he was left partially paralyzed after being shot by police officers during his arrest almost 17 years ago.
Several Americans interviewed by Fox News Digital supported Hasan’s death sentence but drew the line at broadcasting his execution, warning it could turn capital punishment into a public spectacle and could be particularly dangerous in today’s political climate.
“I’m not necessarily against giving him the death penalty, but I feel like livestreaming for people’s entertainment is just weird,” Nick from Virginia said.
“I agree with the sentence,” Bobbie from Massachusetts said. “I don’t agree with televising it.”
He added, “Especially given the climate of today, I’m not sure it’s something we need to see.”
“It’s not a practice we should be doing in modern society,” Reid from Ohio said. “It’s rather medieval, in my opinion. I’m certainly pro-death penalty for heinous crimes such as that, but I think that … turns it into something of a spectacle that it really doesn’t have any business being.”

But one Virginia man took a drastically different position, suggesting the government should charge Americans to watch the execution and donate the proceeds to the family of U.S. service members who died in the line of duty.
“I think they’re missing an opportunity,” Jason from Virginia said. “It should be pay-per-view and all the proceeds should go to Gold Star families.”
He continued, “You have someone who was a murderous traitor to our country. And there’s not a lot of coverage about that. So I think the public needs and deserves to know the consequences to, well, FAFO.”

Some raised concerns that the execution leaves children vulnerable to possibly accessing or being exposed to watching Hasan die on livestream.
“We have enough violence in our society,” William from Virginia said. “I’m pretty sure he’s guilty, but it doesn’t need to be public. Children could be watching that.”
“I just don’t think that stuff like that should be put on the mainstream,” Ferris from Massachusetts said. “Especially considering that children may have access to seeing it.”
Another pointed out Hasan’s health status, arguing the issue could be approached differently if he was “up and around” but citing the shooter’s well-being as a reason he sees the livestreamed execution as that much more wrong.
“You’re executing somebody who’s not mentally stable, who is in this wheelchair situation,” one respondent told Fox News Digital.
The Trump administration’s announcement of the livestream was largely widely seen as a power play for the United States, demonstrating the consequences of committing such an act of terror on American soil — particularly committing violence toward members of the U.S. military.
“I think they’re trying to make an example out of him, you know?” Nick said. “I think it’s like a show of power. They’re trying to be like … ‘Don’t mess with us.’”

“I think it’s a message that we’re big and tough, and we don’t have much humanity left,” Paul said.
Trump said Saturday that he will make the decision of whether to livestream Hasan’s execution, acknowledging that he knows “what the military would like to do” following Hegseth’s confirmation.

Vice President JD Vance also said Friday that he was not sure that the federal government will be livestreaming the execution, also adding that he would not personally view the livestream.
“The world’s gone crazy,” Anya said. “We need Jesus.”
