Videomug: Trump Reverses Course on Live-Broadcasting Execution by Firing Squad, Fearing Backlash

Recently, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that it would carry out the execution by firing squad of the perpetrator behind the 2009 mass shooting at a U.S. military base and even broadcast the process live.

However, President Trump abruptly canceled the live broadcast plan.

He took a step back in the face of pressure from political circles and fierce public backlash.

This appears to be a decision to block potential political blowback ahead of the midterms.

Even so, the very idea of live-broadcasting the execution of a human being by firing squad has left the entire world shaking its head at the Trump administration.
