This is excellent, because this accurately reflects who we are now. Tune in, everyone, and don’t flinch when the shots are fired.

Capital punishment is primitive and brutal, and it shouldn’t be hidden away or medicalized. This is us. We’re the ones doing this.

Bread and circuses! Welcome back to the Roman times.

Not saying either the Pentagon or current Administration have handled this well. Or in a timely manner. Or that live streaming is anything like appropriate. But if you're both a doctor and an officer, and yet go on a mass-murder spree against the folks who you've both sworn loyalty to, and who are paying you to care for them - yeah. One could argue that he was profoundly mentally ill himself, but I have no sympathy.

I guess raping young women on remote islands got a bit harder after their favorite party planner hung himself by the neck, so the Elites now dabble in public executions again as a form of entertainment.

So that is how we enter the “Colosseum arc", where the tech oligarchs, the president and the secretary of smalldickville witness live from their homes how someone gets executed with their dicks in hand on Facebook, Amazon, Twitch, YouTube and of course AppleTV and place bets on how long he keeps moving or how much blood he will spit after they hit his lung instead of the heart on a "prediction" market.

The way the average US Marine shoots a rifle, this will probably be the same kind of disaster that the Pike execution was.

Why put the strain on anyone’s consciousness at all if you can just use that autonomous SI-powered robot with the machine gun? If Claude can kill 150 children in Iran, what’s one more dude being murdered by a remote controlled or autonomous weapons system?

This is not about justice, it’s about rich people and the president wanting to masturbate on a US citizen’s death because otherwise they won’t get hard any longer.

You can be pro or against death penalty but if I was American this would scare me, if my own government started murdering US Citizens on US Soil and making an event out of it. You know who fucking livestreams executions?

ISIS. Is that the role model for US values now?

I am looking forward to how all the Tech Oligarchs line up to make this a sponsored stream.

All enemies of the United States rejoice, you no longer need to look at how Jihadi John beheads the infidels in 480p in a blocky, choppy video.

You can now witness live how the King lowers his thumb to have US Soldiers murder a US Citizen in glorious 4K, with an Nvidia SI-powered super slowmo.

Remember, kids, no ads with Twitch Turbo, and the subscriptions actively support your troops, with a tier 3 sub, you can unlock the war crimes emoji package. If you have an active Amazon Prime subscription you can even watch from multiple camera angles.

They better point the kiss cam at Donald and Melania during the half-time show by the Guantanamo Orchestra.

What a great nation. The greatest of all time. Super Intelligence.
