This is government-sanctioned sadism. Trump, et. al., celebrate violence, taking pleasure in people's pain & death. A large % of America shares his motives and worldview. Every effort must be made to reverse this profoundly pathologic trend. Call your Rep and Senators. Say NO to public exectutions.

This is a regime that glorifies violence and brutality, because their vision of society is one of dominance rather than belonging. And that's the vision of cowards.

The U.S. last held a public execution in the 1930s. The Pentagon wants to change that
The Pentagon says it will livestream the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood, the site of his 2009 mass shooting. That would be the first public execution in the U.S. since the 1930s.

I went the NHS emergency room in London over the weekend, it was free. Free to anyone. I'd have been charged only if I was admitted to the hospital. A cart in the waiting room went by me with some nice sandwiches, and I chose one. Before I could try to pay, the cart moved on. Sandwich also free.
