However, live-streaming the murder (which is what capital punishment is) of a murderer can reinforce that :
the US is a violent society which is devolving back to more primitive times when hangings, lynchings, and other executions were used as public spectacle
this sort of event is put on to make the US govt look strong but only makes it look decrepit trying to distract its people from the economic mess it’s put them in
it is creating a martyr which could lead to more people becoming radicalised and carrying out more terrorist acts on US soil and elsewhere
the US is on par with the few countries that still have public executions like North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran, all of which are religious or political extremists.
You also have to consider that sadly and horrifically, mass killings of innocent people are common in the US but this one is being showtimed because it suits the political stance of the Trump govt. This both exploits the situation for political gain but also exposes that the govt is willing to traumatise not only its own people but the international community, and so losing even more respect.
Modern military rounds are alledged to kill via hydrostatic shock. If true, the brain is irreprably damaged and the human destroyed at a speed faster than pain can be conducted via the nervous system.
The truth is there is no way to kill an animal that wants to live which isn’t hideous. The destruction of life is revolting.
That’s not how any of this works. They aim for the heart. Bullets kill by blood loss (mostly). Headshots are for video games. Both soldiers and hunters are taught to aim for center mass.
And “modern military rounds”? Lol. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Military grade ammo is generally less powerful as well as being limited to non-expanding bullets. If anything, civilian “personal defense” ammunition is worse.
Finally, death is an unavoidable part of life. Would you tell a wolf it’s hideous and disgusting for killing a rabbit?
Why is this how I found out it was gonna be by fucking FIRING SQUAD‽‽‽
Did you also know he is paralysed from the chest down, is in constant pain, and incontinent. He will be shot in a wheelchair.
He also killed 13 people and wounded 32. Kinda hard to feel bad for him.
I didn’t think anyone should be executed, let alone on a live stream, but the fact that he’s paralyzed doesn’t grant him any sympathy.
I take your point.

Oh so there’s a tie in with the next season
Is that so bad? At least it guarantees death; unlike other methods.

this is the claim proponents of killing people with guns being reasonable make. Nothing to do with headshots you rude twerp.
I’ll be sure to shit on your floor if I ever visit, since a wolf would do that btw.
