The Federalist Papers Democrats suddenly found their conscience. Too bad it showed up for a jihadist.On December 3 at 1 p.m., the Army will execute Nidal Hasan by firing squad at Fort Hood. Same base. Same hour he opened fire on his fellow soldiers in 2009.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the execution will be made public. His reason is simple: people need to understand there are serious consequences for this kind of evil.And right on cue, the pearl clutching began.Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) called it a "grotesque public spectacle." Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) called public executions "medieval."Let's talk about grotesque public spectacles.Hasan walked into a soldier readiness center, shouted "Allahu Akbar," and opened fire on unarmed troops preparing to deploy. He killed 13 people and wounded 32 more. His victims were not shot behind closed doors. They were cut down in front of each other.At trial, he admitted it. His reason? Protecting Islamic insurgents from American soldiers. He was convicted on every count and sentenced to death in 2013.Now ask yourself where all this concern for decency was last September.When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, people on the left went on TikTok and celebrated. Some laughed. Some danced. Some lost their jobs over it. After the attempts on President Trump's life, plenty of keyboard warriors said the shooters should have aimed better.Now some of those same corners of the internet are horrified that a convicted terrorist will face a lawful sentence on camera.Here is the double standard in plain English. Cheering the murder of a conservative father of two is "free speech." Watching a mass murderer face justice is "barbaric."That is not compassion. That is selective outrage.Thirteen families have waited 17 years. They deserve to see justice finally delivered.Should Hasan's execution be livestreamed? Yes or no, and why?
