Axelrod on Pentagon’s Decision to Livestream Fort Hood Shooter’s Execution: Hegseth Has Been More Venturesome in Indulging His Impulses

‘I don’t think live streaming any execution is appropriate’

RUSH EXCERPT:
AXELROD: "Hegseth has been sort of I mean, he. He has been more and more venturesome in indulging his impulses, lately, and I wonder how much of it is cleared and how much of it is a guy is getting ready to leave, but we'll see about that and maybe a guy has aspirations of his own, but yeah I don’t I don’t think live streaming. Any execution is, it is, is appropriate. Imagine livestreaming the one in Tennessee the other day. Em, how her. Effect that would have been we don’t need to exalt with the whole point of these penalties is to punish and discourage violence, but I don’t think we punish we. We would. I don’t think the message of exalting violence necessarily stops It. I don’t think by the way most people who commit violent crimes, s are thinking about watches. I saw a live stream over execution in, so I’m not gonna. Do what I plan to do. I think, if you’re to the point, where you’re planning to do something like that, your well past, being influenced about what the repercussions other might be. So you know I’ve. I think it’s a think. It’s a bad idea. I hope the White House steps in and and suggest that to the secretary"
